Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer. Is it really as good as they say it is?

[Rockchild]

It doesn't appear to be as straightforward as that (14 days max for refund, you have to pay return costs, and must be in as new condition):

that is irrelevant on the Eversolo

They are offering a 30 free trial

Ah, yes, a home demo is different . I thought people were talking about buying one.

Surely human nature is going to bias the response?

including your implied view that the owners will not be able to be honest about what they bought .

Is that correct? You have 14 days to say you want to cancel and then another 14 days to return it: "You must offer a refund to customers if they've told you within 14 days of receiving their goods that they want to cancel. They have another 14 days to return the goods once they've told you. You must refund the customer within 14 days of receiving the goods back."

The as new is a grey area. How can you try it out and then return as new?

Can't see that on their website and they are out of stock until end of June at least.

Does it matter? If you want to try it, put your name on the list.

Just call them or email. Say you have seen the Facebook posts. It’s not difficult

Not a big fan of these touchscreen devices but it does look like one heck of a proposal!

Innuos is a UK company, the factory and tech support is in Portugal.

As I am an Innuos customer I thought that I would ask them directly. They said that they did begin in the UK but are a Portuguese company. They have a small sub office in the UK.

I have just read that the Eversolo operating system is based on Android. Yesterday Openreach fitted my UK broadband. We tried to connect the Sony (Android) based TV to the internet and set up Google Home. After an hour of frustration we gave up. And after being asked by a client to use a Samsung phone (for security reasons) I had to give it back to their tech support on a regular basis. It was hilarious when the keyboard disappeared and they said down load another one - with no keyboard.

That this Eversolo is based on Android has completely put me off it. I was actually going to get one on demo as I need a new DAC and maybe streamer DAC.

My Android based TV, phone and tablet (all Samsung Android) have no issues with my BT Openreach connection / router switch. But then I set it up.

You will probably find that the Eversolo is not actually Android but a Chinese copy of what Android does, as the US Gov't is not keen on Google allowing certain Chinese companies access to Android to sell.

@Rockchild Jon, Have you ordered one? I might be interested if you or other Wammers share their experience. It’s too early for me to decide though maybe in the near future to replace the Aries mini as a transport going to the Qutest dac.

Reset your TV and set it up as a UK TV if it was previously in use in Portugal.

Bought brand new from John Lewis last week.

No Jayson, I’ve got my Cambridge 851 that gets little use but I’m dealing with AE regarding my CD player rebuild. They have offered as I did mention it hence looking at the various videos etc available. I would consider it if I didn’t have the 851 as I like the touch screen but I think my 851 will better it on sound quality. Maybe I’ll just try one for comparison.

Human nature bias is part of all comments and views including your implied view that the owners will not be able to be honest about what they bought

I'm sure people will be able to be honest.

 

[Rockchild]

Not a bad summary. He has a bloody big nose tho!

 

[Cable Monkey]

I just thought it was a decent assesment of the device that addressed one or two questions people had about where it stands in the pecking order. I am excited about the one I have on order. As for his nose? I honestly never noticed!
