The Next Chapter of Digital Purity: Introducing the Eversolo DAC-Z10

Audio lovers rejoice! Eversolo has consistently impressed us with their blend of cutting-edge technology, intuitive design, and incredible value. You already know how much we love the DAC-Z8 and, even more recently, the T8 streaming transport, for their stellar performance, but get ready to be even more amazed.

We're thrilled to introduce the new flagship in Eversolo's DAC lineup: the Eversolo DAC-Z10! This isn't just an incremental update; it's a significant leap forward, offering even greater refinement and capability.

From Z8 to Z10: A Leap in Digital Fidelity
The DAC-Z8 set a high bar, but the DAC-Z10 raises it even higher. While they share the same DNA, the Z10 brings substantial upgrades that audiophiles will truly appreciate:

Dual Flagship DAC Chips: The most significant upgrade! The DAC-Z10 moves from a single ESS ES9038Pro DAC chip in the Z8 to a dual ESS ES9038Pro DAC chip configuration. This means each stereo channel (left and right) gets its own dedicated DAC chip. This dramatically improves:

Channel Separation: Expect a wider, deeper, and more precise soundstage with instruments and vocals more clearly defined in space.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio & Dynamic Range: By dedicating a chip to each channel, noise is further reduced, and the dynamic range is expanded, revealing more subtle details and greater contrast between soft and loud passages.

Distortion: Dual-mono DACs typically achieve even lower distortion figures, leading to a cleaner, more transparent sound.

Upgraded XMOS 316 Processor: The DAC-Z10 incorporates a newer, more powerful XMOS 316 processor. This improved chip handles the USB input data with greater precision and lower jitter, ensuring that even the most demanding high-resolution files (like DSD512 and PCM 768kHz/32bit) are processed flawlessly.

Enhanced Power Supply & Analog Output Stage: To fully realize the potential of the dual DAC chips and higher processing power, the DAC-Z10 features a more robust and refined power supply design, along with an optimized analog output stage. This translates to a more stable, authoritative, and natural analog signal delivered to your amplifier.

Improved Build & Aesthetics: While subtle, the DAC-Z10 features even more premium internal components and refined external touches, reflecting its flagship status.

In essence, the DAC-Z10 takes the transparent, detailed sound of the Z8 and elevates it with greater realism, soundstage precision, and dynamic impact.

The Perfect Synergy: DAC-Z10 and T8 Streamer Transport
This is the pairing that truly defines high-end digital audio: separating the transport function from the conversion function. The DAC-Z10 is the absolute perfect match for the Eversolo T8 Streaming Transport!

T8 - Say Goodbye to Jitter!: The T8 is a pure transport, meaning its only job is to access your music files (local or streamed) and deliver a pristine, low-jitter digital signal. It features its own high-quality linear power supply and multiple isolated outputs (USB Audio, AES/EBU, I²S) designed to shield the audio stream from noise.

DAC-Z10 (The Master Converter): The DAC-Z10 takes the T8's perfect digital feed and performs the critical conversion.

Why this combination is the ultimate choice:

Dedicated Excellence: By splitting the duties, T8 handles the complex, noisy task of networking and processing, and the DAC-Z10 handles the delicate, noise-sensitive task of D-to-A conversion—each component excels without compromising the other.

Ultimate High-Res Link: The I²S Connection: The T8 includes an I²S output, and the DAC-Z10 includes a corresponding I²S input. I²S (Inter-IC Sound) is a direct digital interface that separates the data and clock signals, bypassing common digital bottlenecks (like S/PDIF or standard USB) and virtually eliminating jitter. This is the most pure and direct digital connection possible, designed specifically for high-end pairing like this.

Master Clock Sync: The T8 features an ultra-precise internal clock, and the DAC-Z10 has its own superior OCXO clock. When paired, they work in synchronized fashion to ensure the timing of the digital stream is flawless, resulting in rock-solid imaging and exceptional transient response.

This pairing gives you a no-compromise digital front-end that rivals systems costing thousands more. The T8 focuses on feeding a perfect signal, and the DAC-Z10 focuses on converting that signal into the most musical analog output possible.

If you're looking to build a high-end digital front-end that delivers astonishing clarity, musicality, and a truly immersive listening experience, the Eversolo DAC-Z10 is an absolute must-audition, especially when paired with the magnificent DMP-A10.
