EVERSOLO T10 Network Drive

The Eversolo T10 is a high-end pure network drive. It is the brand's most sophisticated product of this type.

On paper, the Eversolo T10 offers the exact same features as the Eversolo T8. But in practice, the T10 has been optimized for connection to a very high-end, separate DAC. To this end, it features all the necessary digital outputs and specific circuitry to deliver the most accurate and faithful playback possible. It also benefits from major advancements in power supply, clock architecture, and signal isolation. The Eversolo T10 is designed to offer a clearer, more consistent, and more natural musical reproduction across a wide range of audio systems.

EVERSOLO T10: Case

Like other devices from the manufacturer, the T10's chassis is machined from a single block of aerospace-grade aluminum using precision CNC techniques. This robust, matte-textured enclosure enhances durability while effectively protecting the audio circuitry from external interference. It is available in black aluminum and larger than the Eversolo T8, a necessary size to accommodate all the circuitry and the 8.6-inch screen.

Indeed, the front panel is occupied by over 60% of a large, high-resolution, 22 cm color touchscreen. It combines practicality and aesthetics, clearly displaying playback information, controls, and system status. Naturally, it also allows users to browse their music library and adjust settings in a very intuitive and fluid way.

EVERSOLO T10 : Connexions

The rear panel of the Eversolo T10 offers multiple connections entirely related to its drive function. It features seven digital outputs in various formats suitable for high-end audio.

The standard output is a Toslink optical output and an RCA Spdif coaxial output. These outputs are isolated and offer high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192 kHz. Its excellent resistance to interference effectively reduces crosstalk and noise, preserving every nuance and texture with remarkable precision.

In addition, there is a fully isolated XLR (110 ohms) AES/EBU digital audio output, which ensures high-precision, high-resolution signal transmission thanks to its balanced XLR design, effectively reducing noise and distortion. It offers excellent resistance to interference and reliable transmission performance even over long distances, meeting the demands of the most discerning audiophiles.

It also features a fully isolated IIS output to eliminate electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring exceptionally pure audio transmission. Compatible with eight IIS output modes, the T10 offers broad compatibility with various brands and decoding architectures, opening up numerous possibilities.

A USB Audio Out is also available. It transmits a lossless digital signal compatible with high-resolution PCM and DSD files with excellent stability.

The Eversolo T10 features dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz). This offers high bandwidth and low latency. It is highly resistant to interference and ensures stable and efficient audio transmission.

The T8 is of course equipped with an RJ45 LAN input (10/100/1000/2500 Mbit/s) which can be connected directly to the box.

But also (very rarely) an SFP fiber optic network port. This ensures complete electrical isolation against electromagnetic interference and guarantees stable and reliable data transmission, meeting the requirements of high-performance Hi-Fi systems. For this, it is necessary to use two single-mode SFP modules of the same brand and type.

When connected to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the T10 provides a stable signal with high accuracy and remarkable dynamics.

Power is supplied via an IEC socket, which will allow for optimization with an excellent power cable.

EVERSOLO T10 : Technology

Inside the chassis, a separate, physically dedicated compartment, shielded from electromagnetic interference, houses the power supply board. The Eversolo T10 is equipped with a high-end, fully optimized power supply. It is built around a toroidal transformer made of 4N oxygen-free copper. This custom-designed transformer provides stable and high-performance power to the audio circuits. All internal wiring is shielded and insulated with Teflon. This isolates the system from interference and ensures clean, pure current. With a noise level below 28 µV, high-frequency disturbances and ground noise are effectively suppressed thanks to precise voltage regulation and high-end filtering components. The power supply features four regulation circuits. This is coupled with a filtering section consisting of six large filter capacitors in the first part of the power supply and no fewer than 30 filter capacitors in the second part.

To ensure its precise performance as a driver, Eversolo equipped the T10 with an ultra-precise clock system to synchronize each digital pulse with remarkable accuracy. This temporal precision results in a very pure and faithful sound, allowing the T10 to operate the DAC at its maximum capacity. The T10 incorporates a very low-phase-noise OCXO crystal oscillator, which minimizes frequency drift due to ambient temperature variations through precise thermal regulation. Combined with a low-noise PLL (phase-locked loop) system, it refines the clock signal and helps reduce jitter during digital transmission.

The implementation of a very stable clock provides a more precise sound image, more natural voice placement and a more immersive and realistic overall listening experience.

But the Eversolo was designed to be connected to very high-end DACs and to meet the demands of the most sophisticated audio systems. Therefore, the T10 also supports an external 10 MHz master clock input compatible with 50 Ω and 75 Ω impedances. This allows it to be connected to clock systems to provide optimal synchronization.

The Eversolo T10 has a third-generation USB audio interface that supports native DSD512 and 32-bit 768 kHz PCM decoding, ensuring high-resolution audio playback in its original quality.

Eversolo's EOS audio processing management bypasses the limitations of the SRC, delivering high-fidelity sound quality. Whether playing locally stored music or streaming content from third-party apps (like Apple Music), it ensures playback with the best possible resolution.

The T8 supports a wide range of audio formats, including DSD (DSF, DFF, SACD ISO, DST support up to DSD512), MP3, APE, WAV, FLAC, AIF, AIFF, AAC, NRG, CUE…

The Eversolo T10 is equipped with 64GB of RAM, allowing for the storage of high-quality audio files and system resources. However, the T8 offers two SSD slots under its chassis, supporting up to two 8TB SSDs, providing a total of 16TB of storage.

The Eversolo T10 is compatible with most music services: TIDAL, Qobuz HIGH RESOLUTION AUDIO, Amazon Music, IDAGIO, Calm Radio, Internet Radio, TuneIn, Radio Paradise, Deezer, SoundCloud, Presto Music, Apple Music*...

And it is also compatible with network protocols: WebDAV, UPnP, NFS, SMB, OneDrive, Dropbox, Emby, Plex... and also with Roon, DLNA, TIDAL Connect services...

The T10 can be controlled via the mobile app, touchscreen, tablet app, Trigger Out, Wake-on-LAN, etc., and also with the included remote control. The T10 allows you to completely disable the Wi-Fi module. In this case, the remote control switches to infrared mode.

In terms of music management, the T10 incorporates a new intelligent library system that significantly optimizes the processing of music collections. The T10 can analyze approximately 200,000 tracks in two hours and allows for quick organization and access to even the most extensive libraries. It also supports cross-platform playlist creation, global search, and shuffle playback of the entire library, providing smooth and intuitive navigation, track skipping, and playback.

For network connectivity, it features dual-band Wi-Fi 6, a standard Gigabit Ethernet port, and an SFP fibre optic network port for complete electrical isolation, a genuine rarity at this price point. Whatever DAC you own, you will find a matching output.

Is it difficult to set up and use for someone who isn't a digital audio specialist?

Not at all, and this is one of the T10's real strengths. Its large 8.6-inch (22 cm) colour touchscreen dominates the front panel and makes browsing your music library, adjusting settings, and controlling playback highly intuitive. The T10 can also be operated via a mobile app, a tablet app, or the included remote control. The whole experience has been designed to feel as smooth as possible, whatever your technical background.
