I know the Eversolo T8 is a new release but has anyone had any experience with this streamer? Software friendliness and sound quality? Thanks.

Streamers have no sound. If your DAC is doing what it is supposed to do, any streamer (including cheap RPi streamers) will do.
 
I have to respectably disagree with this idea. From experience not what I have heard.

Me too. I bought a midlevel streamer from Ifi and it is unbearably bright. I need to sell it. I get audiophile streaming from my dedicated audio computer and a JCat Femto usb card and a Teradal LPS.

Thanks for sharing your view. Just to clarify, this isn’t really an “idea” but how digital audio works: if the bits arrive intact and the DAC is well-designed, the streamer shouldn’t affect the sound.

Au Contraire, streamers do have a sound and the power supplies can be a big part of the sound.

I've had a Roon Nucleus+ for years and I've always been happy with it. What I didn't know was how much the SQ was being held back by the SMPS it came with until I received the Keces P14 for review. It was/is a major sonic upgrade.
 
Being retired gives me free time to compare audio gear. My latest has been streamers with I2S outputs. In order from best sound quality to worst sound quality into a MSB Premier.
1. HiFi Rose RS130
2. Matrix Element S
3. Shanling SM1.3
