I have not made any direct comparison at home (in my system and room) but elsewhere Neo Stream was soundwise a step up compared to Node (when using the internal DAC) - larger more organic sound and a wider soundstage. Node has a slicker user interface though if that is important.
I have not heard Eversolo myself however, I came across to this statement when reading the reviews:
I may have been spoiled by the iFi Audio Neo Stream I reviewed before the DMP-A6, and the Neo Stream still has the upper hand in audio quality in terms of timbre and insight (as it should for the price). The Eversolo has that slightly dry and more linear sound that wonât work in every system, and Iâve found myself (subjectively) leaning more towards a natural sound that just makes you get lost in your favourite tracks. - Oscar Stewart, HiFi Pig
Have one with the Nait 50 using its analog outputs and sounds very good, the speakers are the Audionote K-Lx, that means that they show pretty much everything, and they are showing a great sound
Not in the market for a Nait50 so no skin in the game. However, given that nothing is going to visually match I would go for something that can be hidden away out of sight. Accordingly, I would look at a Raspberry Pi streamer solution with something like a secondhand Chord Hugo as the DAC - shouldnât sound too shabby and wont break the bank, need to leave some budget for the obligatory Linn LP12 with a Nait50!
My iPhone connects me to my streaming sources (Tidal & Apple Music) with the Classic. I donât need a screen or other digital inputs.
Having said that, for future options or to sell, the XR would be the prudent purchase.
