NAD C 3030

EISA Best Value Integrated Amplifier 2026–2027

Inspired by the original NAD 3030, the NAD C 3030 pairs retro styling with a thoroughly modern feature set. Its 50-watt-per-channel Class D amplifier is joined by HDMI eARC, aptX HD Bluetooth, optical and analog inputs, and an MM phono stage. Illuminated VU meters complete the vintage-inspired design.

For anyone putting together a straightforward two-channel system, the C 3030 offers an appealing combination of performance, connectivity, and value.

MOON 371

EISA Premium Integrated Amplifier 2026–2027

The MOON 371 is the first component in the new Compass Collection from MOON by Simaudio, and EISA has already given it premium honors.

Delivering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 200 watts into 4 ohms, the 371 combines amplification with a DAC, MM/MC phono stage, HDMI ARC, headphone output, and MiND 2 network streaming. The result is a remarkably complete high-end audio system in a single chassis.

Bluesound POWERNODE

EISA Multi-Room Amplifier 2026–2027

The Bluesound POWERNODE combines powerful amplification, high-resolution streaming, and flexible multi-room capabilities in a compact design. Its updated DirectDigital amplification uses low-distortion GaN technology to deliver 2 x 100 watts or 3 x 80 watts, with HDMI eARC, Dolby Digital decoding, wireless surround compatibility, and Dirac Live readiness adding even more flexibility. As part of the BluOS ecosystem, the POWERNODE supports TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, Amazon Music, MQA, DSD, and 192kHz/24-bit hi-res playback, while the BluOS Controller app makes it easy to integrate into a larger multi-room audio system.

Hegel H200

EISA Amplifier 2026–2027

The Hegel H200 brings much of the technology found in Hegel's flagship integrated amplifiers to a more approachable point in the lineup.

Its Class AB amplifier delivers 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms and incorporates Hegel's SoundEngine 2 technology. An integrated DAC and modern streaming platform add convenience while keeping the focus firmly on high-performance two-channel sound.

NAD M33 V2

EISA Smart Amplifier 2026–2027

The original M33 was already an ambitious streaming amplifier, and the NAD M33 V2 pushes the concept even further.

Second-generation Eigentakt amplification delivers more than 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms, while BluOS provides high-resolution streaming and multi-room capabilities. Dirac Live and Dirac Live Bass Control provide advanced room correction and integration for up to two subwoofers.

Add HDMI eARC, balanced connectivity, and an MM/MC phono stage, and it's easy to understand the "Smart Amplifier" designation.

Eversolo DAC-Z10

EISA DAC 2026–2027

Eversolo continues to establish itself as a serious player in high-end digital audio with the DAC-Z10.

Dual AK4191EQ and AK4499EX DAC chipsets work alongside Eversolo's Precision Core clock system, independent power supplies, and carefully isolated digital and analog stages. An R-2R analog volume control also allows the DAC-Z10 to function as a high-quality preamplifier.

For a dedicated digital front end, this is an impressive amount of technology in one component.

Eversolo T8

EISA Digital Player 2026–2027

The Eversolo T8 takes a different approach to digital audio by focusing entirely on the transport side of the signal chain.

Designed to pair with an external DAC, the T8 combines high-resolution streaming with extensive DSP capabilities, room correction, optional internal storage, USB storage support, precision clocking, and an extensive selection of digital outputs.

Pairing the T8 with a high-performance DAC such as the DAC-Z10 creates a formidable digital source.

EISA Standmount Loudspeakers 2026–2027

The Triangle Solstice 3 earned the EISA Standmount Loudspeakers 2026–2027 award. This compact two-way speaker combines Triangle’s horn-loaded tweeter, natural cellulose midwoofer, and carefully reinforced cabinet design to deliver an open, detailed sound with impressive scale for its size.

SVS 3000 Micro R|Evolution

EISA Hi-Fi Compact Subwoofer 2026–2027

Big bass does not always require a big cabinet.

The SVS 3000 Micro R|Evolution uses two opposing 9-inch drivers and a powerful 1,200-watt Class D amplifier to deliver deep, controlled low-frequency performance from a remarkably compact enclosure.

App-based controls also make setup and integration easier, helping the 3000 Micro R|Evolution fit into music, home theater, and lifestyle systems where space is at a premium.

EISA Wireless Gaming Headset 2026–2027

Audeze brings its planar magnetic expertise to gaming with the Maxwell 2 ANC.

Loewe leo

EISA Over-Ear Headphones 2026–2027

The Loewe leo combines premium materials with advanced wireless audio technology.

Its 50mm drivers are paired with a Texas Instruments SoundPlus amplifier, while support for Hi-Res Audio up to 24-bit/96kHz, LC3plus Bluetooth, Dolby Atmos, and adaptive active noise cancellation provides plenty of flexibility. A 65-hour battery life helps make the leo as practical as it is luxurious.

Sony BRAVIA 9 II

EISA Home Theatre RGB LED TV 2026–2027

One of the most exciting developments in video this year is Sony's new RGB LED display technology, and the 75-inch BRAVIA 9 II earned EISA's Home Theatre RGB LED TV award.

Rather than relying on a conventional white or blue LED backlight, Sony's new system uses individually controlled red, green, and blue LEDs. The goal is greater color volume, high brightness, and more precise control over the image.

For home theater enthusiasts looking for the latest in premium large-format display technology, the BRAVIA 9 II represents a major new direction for Sony.

Bluesound PULSE CINEMA & PULSE FLEX

EISA Streaming Soundbar 2026–2027

Bluesound's PULSE CINEMA soundbar and PULSE FLEX speakers demonstrate how the BluOS ecosystem can extend beyond traditional multi-room music.

The system combines streaming with an expandable home theater platform, allowing the PULSE CINEMA to serve as the foundation while PULSE FLEX speakers expand the experience with wireless surrounds.

It's an appealing option for rooms where a traditional AV receiver and wired speaker system aren't practical.

Yamaha TRUE X SURROUND 90A

EISA Home Theatre Soundbar 2026–2027

The Yamaha TRUE X SURROUND 90A earned recognition for delivering an immersive home theater experience in a more approachable soundbar-based package.

Yamaha has decades of experience in both home theater processing and audio, and the TRUE X system applies that expertise to a modern wireless surround solution designed to make immersive movie and TV sound easier to add to a living space.

SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution

EISA Subwoofer 2026–2027

The SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution brings technology developed for SVS's flagship subwoofers into a more compact sealed design.

A high-excursion 13-inch driver is powered by a 1,200-watt RMS amplifier capable of more than 4,000 watts of peak power. Advanced DSP and extensive app-based controls make it possible to fine-tune its performance for both two-channel music and home theater.

For listeners who want serious low-frequency extension without moving to an enormous enclosure, the SB-3000 R|Evolution is a compelling option.

Denon AVR-X2900H

EISA AV Receiver 2026–2027

The Denon AVR-X2900H earned this year's EISA AV Receiver award, continuing Denon's long history in the home theater category.
