Eversolo Introduces the Innovative "play" Streaming Amplifier to the Audiophile Market

From a construction standpoint, the play boasts a CNC unibody chassis made from high-strength aluminum alloy, with the entire base serving as an effective heatsink. Internally, the amplifier is powered by a DAC circuit centered around the AKM AK4493 chip, delivering an impressive signal-to-noise ratio of ≥109dB (A-weighted) and a total harmonic distortion of just 0.0037%. The Class D amplifier is robust, providing 60 watts per channel into 8 Ohms or 110 watts per channel into 4 Ohms, making it suitable for a wide range of speakers from compact monitors to full-range floorstanders.

Connectivity options on the back panel are comprehensive, including coaxial and TOSLINK inputs, HDMI ARC, and MM/MC phono inputs. There is also a subwoofer output, a USB-A socket for storage devices, and a USB-A output for connecting to external DACs. The play is available in two editions: the Standard Edition priced at €699 and the CD Edition at €799, which includes a Hitachi/LG CD-ROM drive. Both versions are set to ship this month, offering versatile options for different user preferences.

Overall, the Eversolo play streaming amplifier positions itself as a formidable contender in the high-resolution network streamer market. With support for major services such as Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, Roon, and more, along with a premium DAC based on the ESS Sabre platform, the play delivers both technical excellence and user-focused features. Its powerful amplification and extensive connectivity make it a versatile addition to any audiophile’s setup.
