Today I talk about the Daniel Hertz Eva S50 Audio System created by Mark Levinson's new brand. This is a full system that has synergy for days as it was designed to all work together from the amp, the dac, the speakers and cables.
I talk about the history of Mark Levinson as well as my experience with the Eva S50 "Starter" system from Daniel Hertz. I spent 200 hours listening and am ready to spill the beans about this forward future way of thinking about HiFi Audio.
I hope you enjoy!

The sickness is real haha. But seriously I tell my customers once you find a system that sounds amazing to you, just enjoy it and stick with it. There will always be something better. Just be happy with what you got unless you are looking for something different. If you cant settle then I suggest you come to our AA meetings. (Audioaholics Anonymous) LOL First Saturday of every month.

While the plastic casework is a factor, the main reason the amp weighs so little is because it has no iron in it. It uses a switch mode power supply so there's no power transformer, and it has no output transformers. It's also a cool running class D chip amp, so it doesn't require big heat sinks.

Possibly mentioned this before… I was close with Mark for a period of time when he was a customer of mine in NYC in the early 2000s. An incredibly charismatic guy. I even got a chance to get a personal demo at Red Rose from Mark prior to him becoming a buddy.

Mark Levinson original products in the early 70’s were great sounding for solid state - he did not design them - it was done by guru in Berkeley by John Curl ! The looks were beautiful and maybe Mark did that - of course the overall products were terrific at that time -even today they sound decent too ! Very collectable now

Any detail info about this chip, is it still from Intersil(Renesas)? If so, I don't think it(a $30 chip) deserves the hightlight in a $10K amp. This thing is kind of the PowerDAC design like the GAN1 peachtree.

🤣 OMG. Well, to be honest, technology is knowing/knowledge, magic is the absence of knowledge thus, believe, and believe is happening solely between your ears 😉 Please, don't tell us about remote controls interfering with the audio signal. Leaving out an RC is pretty sure for pure business reason. Nothing else. The same with taking plastic instead of metal. No, they didn't want it to be lighter 😉 Otherwise, very nice listening as usual 🙂

@HiFiHuff

I do not really have any all out faves these days. Some of the best I’ve heard have been talked about but honestly there are so many good sounding speakers out there, I like quite a few. Really all comes down to what kind of sound you are looking for. Right now I’m listening to this Eva system and it’s gonna be tough to send it back. Most impressive two way system I’ve heard to date. Notice I said “system” as when all together as designed it’s magical. I have not heard anything come close for even triple the price. I have a system setup here from emotiva that rocks but it’s not in the same ballpark for realism, goosebumps, clarity, imaging and tone. Not even close but I wouldn’t expect it to be. I have some speakers here from triangle that are quite nice as well, 40th anniversary models. The Buchardt A10”s are also fantastic but a warmer presentation. Can’t pick a fave these days as there are tons of great options. I just go with what moves me. Thanks.

I heard Maria, but the Mark Levinson M5 Telikos amp + M6 preamp has much better energy and more universal sound signature for my taste. Problem with perspex on Maria casing is that it scratches easily.... & is a dust magnet. (sonically M5L + M6L is the best, but rarely for sale, just like cello)

What can we conclude? That we like to try and experiment with new stuff, therefore better to invest in a system with DSP capabilities and room correction and from time to time we can try new speakers , maybe amplifiers for new sensations.😂

You wonder why a competitor doesn’t take one of these and reverse engineer it to see what kind of a magic was put in it
@mkeswiss8440
@mkeswiss8440 11 месяцев назад
A competitor would need the proprietary, custom made integrated audio chip whose design is owned by Daniel Hertz. Therefore, the chip manufacturer can only ship it to Daniel Hertz. This is a factor which drives up the cost per unit
@Blacksheep1042

If home theater is the application, projection best emulates a theatrical experience. A TV is still a TV, no matter how large. I don’t like a display that has 500-1000 Nits in a dark room. Too bright! Non light controlled room, great!
