Vade Forrester, The Absolute Sound Magazine
“With sweet, accurate midrange sonics and sturdy construction that should last a long time, this midpriced tube DAC has a stout tube-rectified power supply for each channel. While that’s unusual for a DAC, it assures dynamic range will be wide and dynamic shifts lightning fast. Perhaps the EVO 100 is missing the very deepest lows and highest highs, but there’s not much else to quibble about!”
Viktor Kubal, High & Style
“And that’s what the Evo 100 Tube DAC serves up on a silver platter in an imaginary restaurant with three Michelin stars!”
RENE VAN ES, Ear
"The EvoLution 100 DAC has been playing for many hours to my great pleasure. It’s in the premier league and will be a welcome addition to the range particularly for owners of PrimaLuna amplifiers. For everyone else, the Evolution EVO 100 DAC may be the first PrimaLuna product in the house, but probably not the last."
ED SELLEY, HiFI Choice
"This is not a cheap system but you can spend considerably more and not find anything better made than this trio."
Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+ Magazine
“You just hear a refinement and sophistication to the sound that is so hard to find in audio today.”
Ken Kessler & Paul Miller, Hi-fi News U.K.
“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.”
Robert H. Levi, Positive Feedback Online U.S.A.
"The PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube DAC, a blockbuster component and musical triumph, leapfrogs dozens of DACs to virtually achieve state-of-the-art definition at a more than reasonable cost. Built as an heirloom product, this tubed beauty will bring you a lifetime of enjoyment from all the digital sources I can imagine."

“The PrimaLuna Evo 100 is an attractive, well-made DAC with powerful dynamics, oodles of detail, and a warm, enjoyable tone. . .At its price, it’s a remarkably good value, and is very highly recommended. If I had $3000 to spend on a DAC, the PrimaLuna Evo 100 would be at the top of my short list.”
Wojciech Pacuta, High Fidelity Magazine Poland
“This is impressive!”
Mr Sean Zloch of TONEAudio Magazine in the USA reviewed our PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube DAC and says “The experience was absolutely holographic, cinematic even … The EVO sounds so analog-like that I haven’t touched my turntable since it’s been here.”
Not only does it received their Exceptional Value Award, but comes ToneAudioApproved as well!

"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!"
