    There does seem to be a few issues with Eversolo, although I see Elite Audio have it in stock and are raving about it.

    It looks like an interesting unit for sure.
    Personally, I would want something without an inbuilt DAC.
    The WiiM Pro+ is much cheaper, but not sure if it sounds as good.
    That also has an AKM DAC built in, which I prefer to the ESS.

    The WiiM Pro+ is certainly a lot cheaper, but I would prefer something that has storage/ripper functionality.

    Most modern laptops no longer have an optical drive built in.

    I would plug it into your DAC and see how it sounds. You may be surprised.

    usb it into dac and install a free trial of river or something like that. you have a ripper and player all there. you can use/control jriver via a mobile app too, and if you lie you can move up to roon, although its a lot more expensive and you'll need something to use for ripping.
