Eversolo A6/A8


Hi there and greetings!   Pleasure meeting you virtually.

i saw a post of yours saying that you have owned various Eversolo models and that they work properly and you're pleased with them.  congrats to you!

i use an Anthem AVR with my GoldenEars speakers and currently, i'm using a Bluesound Node X as my streamer with Tidal as my source.   i recently tried out Apple Music by buying an Apple TV 4K Ethernet model in order to listen to Atmos versions of recordings for fun, and also tried out their Apple Music Classical as i listen to 80% classical, 20% pop/rock.  i understand that apple bought Primephonic and simply renamed it Apple Music Classical.

i was totally wow'd by apple music classical's search functions, brief write ups on music pieces, and array of performances on any particular piece of music i selected.  loved the selection and how tailored it is to the classical music lover.  as such, i would like to stream apple music & apple music classical at the highest resolution possible with the greatest ease of use.  fyi:  i do NOT own anything Apple in my home with the singular exception of the Apple TV 4K Ethernet box.

i am interested in buying either the A6 or A8, most likely the A8, as it is the ONLY streamer that can stream apple music at high resolution.  i am wondering if it is easy to use, or does it require a lot of tweaking to get it to work properly please?  also, what if apple or android plug up their software holes and essentially disallow Eversolo units from streaming from Apple Music?  Apple is a walled garden with ONLY Sonos as a licensed brand besides Apple products.  do you see this as a risk of essentially "brickíng" Eversolos from ever streaming from Apple again once they decide to disallow an UNlicensed company, i.e. Eversolo, from streaming from it even though currently, Eversolo has discovered a workaround or a "hole"in their software?

thank you in advance.  hope to hear from you!  very much appreciated.

If you are potentially buying a product that will have problems and also have substandard service, why not just switch to a streamer that has a long history of quality and service. They also don't have the quirky software and interface that many Eversolo buyers complain about?

Is it just because of wanting Apple Music?

I would do some research into streaming services such as Quboz or Tidal, along with the streamers offered by Aurender, Lumin and Innuos.

They will have better quality sound, larger music libraries and better user interface apps.

You came here to get advise from people that know more than you. You seem hesitant to take that advise and that is never a smart thing to do.
