    except for this problem - there have been no others so far.

    Maybe another silly question: you tackle with the volume, right? I seem to remember that the Z8 remembers different volume setting per every input... and the default is -60dB

    no, it's on "0" as well, same as for another inputs. Checked. Thanks

    0dB you mean... otherwise it's indeed too low.

    Are there any plans for a new headphone amp from Eversolo? I know you have the DACs with headphone outs but a lot of reviews say that it's not the best quality and I don't want to pay for a DAC I won't use.
    A dedicated headphone amp would be amazing, or an upgraded DAC8 would be OK :)

    It's not a question of quality, but rather of output power. TBH it's not one of the best in this sense.

    I think you would be interested in our sister brand: Luxsin Audio:)

    My pleasure to introduce Luxsin here.

    Similar to Eversolo, Luxsin is newly established audio brand under Zidoo group. While Eversolo has focused on a broader range of audio produce, Luxsin is dedicated on head-fi area and our first product is a powerful desktop headphone AMP with some wonderful features that you never experienced in any existing product in the market.

    More information will be continuously updated through various media platform. Stay turned.

    Thanks Eki. I actually have already ordered the Z8, I couldn't resist as there was a discount on it recently. The new Luxsin brand looks really nice (and expensive) but I'll keep an eye on it....hopefully they will be available in black as well.

    What is the current firmware for the Z8? Is it the 2023 version?

    Never mind, I took the plunge and it installs fine :)
    I'll have a play with my new toy and be back with some firmware ideas ;)

    I bought Z8 and look forward to constructive debates on this forum. Otherwise, I do not advertise for devices I do not own.
    And greeting to all who do not have F2 amp, because I have two.
    I was thinking of buying a DMP A6, but the seller only said dac, according to my equipment - seller for my country. A couple of days to get it. Then if he works ok I'm not going to this forum.:D:) a little kidding

    He comes tomorrow. The seller installed the latest update for it.
    A friend and I let him do it.
    I read in the last update vu meters only in mono. The first ones work in stereo mode?

    Yes.
    The newly added ones are like those on the A6/A8/A10, but just in mono.
    The old ones are stereo.

    Thanks for the information. If you have this Z8 using the original power cord or any other? I will connect the DIY variant from Supra. Nothing too expensive.

    I use the original one. As I use the USB A-to-B cable that came with it.

    I will connect cdp with coax, rca to avr and for laptop with bluetooth. I know with the cable is better but crossing over wife, son and in the end pitbull Momo.

    I can't give an opinion about Z8, there was no time. I am disturbed by loud click in the speakers when turning on dac.

    Rule no. 1: Always. ALWAYS! Always turn the amp (or powered monitors) on AS THE LAST component; e.g.
    1. player / streamer
    2. DAC
    3. pre-amp
    4. power amp

    or
    1. player / streamer
    2. DAC
    3. active speakers / monitors
