I really wish they would use 6.35mm headphone sockets otherwise looks pretty competitive with the NAD M10 and Naim Atom.
Me too. If you're gonna bother with one, make it a proper one.I really wish they would use 6.35mm headphone sockets
Agreed. I get that 3.5 is probably cheaper for them mass producing if it's the same as the CX series well as maybe more broadly used mass market, but this is a hif product. Also I was a little surprised the bluetooth transmitter is version 4 and not 5. Again probably a minor thing.Me too. If you're gonna bother with one, make it a proper one.
(Something like that deserves better).
Agree, for the market segment that they are aiming this at, they should have have had BT 5 and a 6.3mm headphone jack. Aside from that it is a very complete package. I am also curious to know what the screen resolution will be as well (its just LCD not OLED).Agreed.

It also would have been useful to see a photograph of the remote control as well (I understand that AV Forums just published the press release so it may not be there).
I find this amp quite attractive to look at, however the pricing is way off, 75wpc entry level model made in China for $2300?
I've also read that sound quality wise the CXA81 ($1200) is better, which is very disappointing.

Hmm. Maybe. It's certainly possible, but it's also possible they are talking nonsense. The way they write is that they expect it to not be as good as separates, and then that's what they hear.I find this amp quite attractive to look at, however the pricing is way off, 75wpc entry level model made in China for $2300?

I'd wait for a few more reviews and ideally some measurements before writing the new systems off.
Early days yet.
Thats a very disappointing summary. I thought they would have done more with the screen options. Thats what I dont like about audio companies these days, their new release looks like it can do so much but when you get the device, you find that its actually very limited.Just received a Evo 75 yesterday - so far a bit disappointed with the software. Assorted things:
I'm hoping new firmware updates improve some of the user experience.
- using KEF Q150 as speakers; music from the StreamMagic app sounds 10x better than sound from the TV (connected via digital cable). I need more time to assess the sound from it, and I'm waiting for a subwoofer to arrive.
- Unlike the CXN v2 (which I also have), you can't browse media on a server (like I have on my NAS) - you always need to use the StreamMagic app (unless there is something I couldn't find)
- While the screen is huge, you can't customise it that much - no clock, no screensavers, not a lot of changes on what's displayed. A missed opportunity.
- Build quality is perfect, no complains here. Good materials, and I like they include both side panels (carbon and wood grain)
- Not sure if the price I paid 1.7K is justified so far...
It has a RCA sub out, don't see any setting/switch for low pass filter.Does it have a sub out and if so, is there bass management (low pass filter)?
