Has anyone looked at the Eversolo DMP A6, A6 Master or the new A8 ?
They have an M.2 slot where I could put a 4Tb drive with all my high resolution music tracks so I could eliminate my current music server.
It can stream from Tidal, Spotify and pretty much anything else.
It has a DAC that can handle 24/768 kHz music
It has a balanced Pre-amp section.
You can even plug an external CD drive to rip music.
On top of that it has an Android and Apple Interface to drive it from your phone or tablet in addition to having a volume knob and a 6" display.
The A8 is about $2,000 and looks like a larger version of the A6 Master $1300 but also includes arc hdmi and many upgrades.
The A6 Master has a bunch of upgrades over the base A6.
The lowest cost A6 is $860.
Seems like a lot of good stuff in a single package. I don't have a TV that supports arc hdmi yet.
FYI, I tried the Emotiva DMC-3 DAC preamp and sent it back. I figured a "matching" Emotiva preamp should work better with my amp, but my Oppo 105D worked much better for me in quite a few surprising way. Enough so that I think I may have even had a bad unit, but with a 30 day return policy I just sent it back. It had one extremely irritating really stupid issue in that the volume control was abysmally slow and had me wanting a volume knob in the worst way. In the end that alone kept me from even bothering to debug or get a replacement. But overall it just didn't seem to work well with my amp and required way too much volume to get to decent listening levels.
