EverSolo DAC-Z8: DAC with Bluetooth 5.0 on ES9038Pro chip

The EverSolo DAC-Z8 is a high-end DAC that packs a ton of power. It is equipped with high-end components, such as the ESS ES9038Pro D/A conversion chip and the XMOS XU316 USB interface, allowing it to support high-resolution audio streams and provide clear and detailed audio reproduction. The DAC-Z8 also has a wide range of features that make it a versatile and efficient device.

The DAC-Z8’s USB input is combined with the XMOS XU316 interface, which is capable of quickly and efficiently processing audio data for optimal signal transfer. This chip also supports high-resolution streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512 Native, as well as MQA files.

The DAC-Z8 headphone amplifier also performs very well and is capable of delivering comfortable power to headphones with impedances ranging from 16 to 300Ω without issue. It also has two-stage gain control, allowing you to use both demanding headphones and more sensitive earbuds.

The EverSolo DAC-Z8 supports decoding of MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) files from USB, optical and Toslink coaxial inputs. This format allows you to enjoy sound quality that is as close as possible to the original studio recording.

In addition to full connectivity, the DAC-Z8 is equipped with a Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.0 receiver that allows you to stream music remotely, such as from a smartphone or tablet, while supporting aptX HD and LDAC high-definition transmission codecs for high-quality wireless replay.

A low-noise power supply stage and capacitor filter were developed specifically for the DAC-Z8. They provide a clean, noise-free electrical signal to all audio circuits in the device for rich, accurate audio reproduction.

The front panel of the DAC-Z8 features a beautiful 3-inch color LCD screen. It displays an ergonomic and intuitive interface that allows you to access all the functions and parameters of the DAC.

The EverSolo DAC-Z8 is housed in a beautiful, durable aluminum chassis that has been precision machined using CNC (Computer Numerical Control). It has a modern and discreet design that allows it to be easily integrated into any audio system.

The heart of the DAC-Z8, its digital-to-analog conversion stage, is equipped with the excellent ESS ES9038Pro chip. This ensures low distortion and noise for a truly convincing music experience with high fidelity. In addition, the DAC-Z8’s audio circuitry is specially calibrated to unleash its full potential.

The DAC-Z8 is equipped with two very high-precision clocks.
