I Just did the LHY A8 upgrade. And since not much people have reviewed it, thought to give some thoughts and experiences in this review. I always liked the Eversolo A8, but there was always a just a little treble glare. It also depends on how revealing the whole chain is. But in a chain that is as revealing as mine, you can hear it. I always expected the power supply beeing the cause of that, especially in the Digital streaming section where is still was SMPS. It always sounded good but a little thin at times. I heared better streamers out there, which did not have this issue.

I always thought it was a shame, Eversolo did not use a double LPS in the Eversolo A8. Especially because the streamer part benefits just as much as the Analogue part from a decent Power supply.  It gives some thoughts realizing that the Eversolo team gave the new A10 a upgraded ‘now’ double lps.  That convinced me even more to give the LHY LPS upgrade a try in the A8. Looking at the price it was worth the try, the A10 is double the price of the A8. 

With the LPS LHY upgrade, the treble issue is gone totally, it is like Iyou bought a more expensive streamer.

I never used the dac of the A8 that much, because it was below what I am already used to, after the upgrade the internal dac became
nice and pleasant, quite the step up! I would say now, it is a nice sounding build in dac. It sounded so much smoother analogue now, the background was removed from glare.

As a streamer (because of the changed SMPS to LPS) the sound became more musical, calmer, blacker background, seperation of instruments just became more clear. What I also noticed, voices just became more full, warm sounding. Yes ofcourse these changes are always subtle, but very noticable and I would say the upgrade is VERY worth it.

The connected dac Chord TT2 + MScaler is not a dac that held the Eversolo back, so every detail and upgrades  are heared perfectly.

The LHY is a very well and nice build LPS, good soldering, good parts used. No cuts where made, two very! decent shielded toroidal cores, Mundorff and Rubycon filter capacitors, even a ceramic fuse was used. Even de connecting cables to the mainboard are upgraded.

Conclusion
When I started this journey, I expected a better sound with the LHY A8, what I was not prepared for, was how much!

Like mentioned before. It is an  amazing upgrade, very worth what they charge for it. for the analogue it is a must have, but maybe even more for the digital part when you use it as a streamer, there the change was really just as drastic for the good.
