It’s hard to review a component that could be so dependant on your equipment and room acoustics. My experience with the Evo 100 Dac is that it is the icing on the cake. Currently running: Prima Luna Evo 400 integrated Dual Rel S510 subwoofer Signal Cable speakon cable Yamaha S1000 cd as transport Revel F206 Performa speakers Signal Magic power chord Blue jeans 10ga. Belden speaker cable Did the the Evo 100 make a difference in my system? Hell yes!!! (Needs about 6-10 hours to burn in). I’m not good with all the audiophile descriptions but it just makes digital sound as close to my old vinyl as I’ve ever heard. I would highly recommend this dac. I would encourage anyone to reach out to Kevin and the Upscale team. Maybe they can help you as they did me.

Bought this to replace the DAC portion of the Bluesound Node 2i that I use to stream with. It is a huge improvement and well worth the money. It sounds much tighter and precise than the 2i and musically much better as well. Looks great too! I have this in my 2 channel system with a Macintosh MA352, Paradigm Prestige 95F's and an Audioquest Niagara 3000 for power conditioning (which I thought blew away the Furman IT reference 15).

very pleased with the sound, improved my system a lot. easy to operate. I had one little problem with the USB connection, it wasn't working at all, so I switched to an AES/ebu cable and now it is fine. Also fine with a Toslink. I did a lot of research and the PrimaLuna was the right choice; Upscale's staff was excellent too.

I can hear details and sound stage like never before. The noise floor is non-existent. This PrimaLuna DAC sounds like it costs a lot more. Great value. Great purchasing experience.

This is an amazing DAC. At first I was not sure of it abilities for performance, however, the more played the better it gets. I have upgraded the RCA outs, power cord and power conditioner which brings out the best performance. All digital now sounds life like a d as if each artists and musicians are in my listening room. Unbelievable performance for the simplicity! I highly recommend this product!
