Eversolo a6 and Lampizator

52tiger,

"If I’m gonna do it, I want to get it right the first time."

Better yet!

Aurender N10 or N150 might be worth looking at as well....I tested an N10 in my system (on loan from a friend), and was so good that I won't upgrade until I can afford something along the lines of an Aurender N200, N10, Zenith MkIII, or Lumin U2 class. That demo kind of killed my idea of a less expensive streamer transport

Oh yes, the computer is noisy.  Innuous, Lumin, aurilac, Aurender all are good choices for streamers.  Then, it is the software.  Everybody is getting better with software.  Power supply upgrade on a U2Mini is available and would kick it up a notch.  Whatever you do will sound better, the eversolo would sound good.  But I would make sure the switching power supply is a good one.

@52tiger my phono preamp, amp and dac are all  tubes. They sound awesome. Im using a Lumin U1 mini with my Baltic4 

I haven’t read every post here but the first response puzzled me.  Streame/DAC comp are used all the time with external DACs, similar to how CD players are used as transports with external DACs.

  I have read 3 reviews of Eversolo recently and whatever its issues streaming Apple Music may be, it gets very high marks for its internal DAC

My Dad's Eversolo stopped recognizing his MA8950 amp's DAC card after the last update.   It worked perfectly for almost a year. 

Eversolo answered my request for support promptly but once I told them it was 5 days from end of warranty and I would like to send it in they completely ignored me 

I really though it wasn't a bad device until I needed support.   

There are several threads on USB devices it will not recognize.  Accuphase, Chord, and Mc are still affected .    

Buy a streamer from a company with the resources to support them.  Aurender, innuos, Bluesound.....   companies that only do streaming.   Support is crucial with these devices.
