“To say that I’m staggered by the EVO 100 is understatement, primarily because I wasn’t expecting such undeniable musicality. This DAC has such a genteel way with whatever signal is fed to it that you’ll be listening for hours longer than intended. It’s an exercise in quality, usability
and performance versus features and bling. If you’re already tube-biased and in need of a high-end DAC, this is an irresistible bargain.”

“You just hear a refinement and sophistication to the sound that is so hard to find in audio today.”

The PrimaLuna Evo 100 is an attractive, well-made DAC with powerful dynamics, oodles of detail, and a warm, enjoyable tone. When I listened to it, I focused on the music instead of hi-fi artifacts. At its price, it’s a remarkably good value, and is very highly recommended. If I had $4000 to spend on a DAC, the PrimaLuna Evo 100 would be at the top of my short list.

PrimaLuna has deliberately kept things pure and simple. Yet sometimes less is more, and it's nice not to have too many extra options you won't ever use or need. Ultimately, all that matters is that an item does everything you want. For me, this is perfectly fine. I'd not really miss any of the 'extras' that it lacks. Essentially, it's a simple old school design where superior sound quality is the main criterion. Anyone wanting performance over features should give this serious consideration, as it's hard to find something that sounds better at or near the price.
