EXCLUSIVE: Eversolo Play Streaming Amplifier First Look

Eversolo Play Streaming Amplifier is the latest all-in-one hi-fi component that blends powerful performance with intelligent design in a compact format. Known for producing feature-rich, high-value audio gear, Eversolo continues its legacy with this integrated system, which combines a high-resolution streamer, DAC, amplifier, and optional CD transport—all in a sleek 230x230x83mm aluminium chassis. The 5.5-inch full-colour touchscreen offers intuitive control, supported by a revamped user interface and app. With connectivity ranging from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to HDMI ARC and phono input, it’s a true plug-and-play solution for today’s digital and analogue music lovers.

Under the hood, the Eversolo Play Streaming Amplifier leverages the premium AK4493 DAC chip to decode music up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and DSD512 with ease. It houses a 60W Class D amplifier (into 8Ω) that’s more than capable of driving most modern loudspeakers. Audiophiles will appreciate advanced features such as graphic and parametric EQ, room correction, and multi-service streaming including ROON Ready support. Notably, vinyl enthusiasts aren’t left out either—this is the first model from Eversolo with a built-in MM/MC phono stage. Users can also enjoy CD playback or ripping via the CD edition, which adds versatile file management and metadata retrieval to the mix.
