Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8

Musicclover1,

I am not sure why there would be a difference. I just know it is very noticeable. Even the base sounds different on the Master. The regular solo, has a more punchy bass, whereas the Master is more laid back with what I would call a more musical bass. We are not talking night and say difference but noticeable. 

What external Dac and SPDF cable did you use when you observed these differences when using them as streamers only?

I loved the standard A6 in my system and one of the primary reasons for the purchase was to rip my 600+ CDs to a 2TB SSD.  The ripping app was so buggy - it would rip 3 or 4 discs fine, then it wouldn't rip.  It would give me a "restart?" message but wouldn't restart.  Sometimes, it would load the CD and I'd see the album art and track list but then, when I tried to begin ripping, it would show "no cd" with a blank screen.  The worst was when it wouldn't recognize a disc at all - just "no cd" even though the disc was spinning in the drive.  

I tried the cd drive with my Mac Mini to ensure that wasn't the issue. I ripped a few CDs with XLD and it worked fine.

I loved everything else about the streamer and I didn't want to return it - it just got to be too frustrating.  

Chuke076, I never got the cd ripper to work, with both the standard and the master. I even purchased the cd burner Eversolo supposedly used for testing. Until they fix it, I just burn to iTunes, and drop and drag to Eversolo. Hopefully they will get it fixed.
