EverSolo Streamer

If the question is, would I buy one ?    Yes.  When my Vault dies thats what I will most likely do

Also if you plan to get an Opticsl Drive and it uses up two USB ports on the A6 you can get a USB A to A EXTENSION cable , plug the extension into a 5v AC phone charger and plug the other lead into the A6. This will free up the other USB port to connect to a DAC like I did or a computer.

The A6 actually ripped a DVD music video and picked the right cover art. It is pretty amazing for the money what it can do. There are a few things that I don’t like, it can not output Analog Audio and a Digital output simultaneously, can not output multiple like formats simultaneously. Can only output RCA or XLR simultaneously. May be a deal breaker for some.

Nice that it can output audio to an AVR via HDMI.   You can search from front panel, you'll need glasses if my age ....but its fully featured from the front panel. 

Lot of other things it can do that I'm forgetting I'm sure.  

Great insight oddiofyi. I would expect the Aurender N200 to be that bit more capable at the $6300 price tag, which is more than 7x the price of the EverSolo DMP-A6.

I did try the full decoder / renderer MQA on Tidal for some tracks. I used the internal DAC on the EverSolo. Sound was good. Listening to the same on Qobuz on EverSolo feeding my outboard DAC which does not do MQA, I still much preferred the sound of the latter, despite no MQA.

As a streamer though, the EverSolo is marvelous. As the source, feeding my DAC then into the Devialet Expert Pro 220, the sound is far better than my laptop. It is also beautifully built and very functionally well equipped for a top tier audio system. At $850, this unit could ‘steal’ the market in general. Many ordinary ‘cloth-ear muggles’ (non-audiophile folk) simply can’t afford or see no purpose in uber pricey streamers such as Aurender N200.  Audio ‘wizarding’ folk look at things differently. Our golden-ear concept of value is more developed, so small changes are magnified and worth 7x more ; ).

The A6 is well worth the price, absolutely,  no doubt . Nice machine 

 The Aurender ?   Yes , it also was worth the price.   That's because I traded a piece I no longer needed plus $800 cash.... for a new in the box unit.

 I probably would never have just spent MSRP on something like that.  .  I got a good deal and looking back I would have been foolish to pass on it.   It is substantially better than the Vault it replaced.  

Yes, it is relative to what one can afford. Congrats on the Aurender too. No doubt it’s excellent. The EverSolo DMP-A6 performs exceedingly well for its price and to be honest I believe it will be the sort of streamer most people will ever need. The Aurender is beyond many folks means. I would suggest that with the advent of value / performance products like the EverSolo DMP-A6, the Aurender N200 becomes more of a niche product for the ‘audio connoisseur’. Given such worthy competition at much more affordable price, a company like Aurender might be well served to think about a more affordable product in their line.
