HiFi Rose RS150B vs. Eversolo DMP-A10

"New RS151" ???? Hmmm

Thank you all for the feedback so far. I’ll clarify a few things. The system does do many things and is not dedicated just to audiophile listening. So, due to some space limitations, still big on vinyl and have my turntable and phono pre-amp taking up space plus a headphone amp and Marantz SA-10 SACD player but more importantly there needs to be an ease of use factor for other members of the family - I am in the market for a single box solution in the $5k price range. My wish list includes, touch screen for easy of use by others - my dad’s not loading an app on his phone, internal storage capability for my DSD music library (my main digital listening material) with file sharing protocol support, Qobuz support, ARCe input for 2-channel TV audio, Bluetooth for when the kids need to stream music, balanced outputs as the digital source is a decent distance away from the amp, WiFi support would be nice but not necessary as I have a 10GB wired network connection nearby. Visualize it this way, my audio gear sits in a rack to the side of the room and the digital source is centered to the viewing / listening area and connected to the amp via ~15 foot XLR cables. The T+A TCD 110S transmission line loud speakers come out about 4 feet into the room with a large screen TV mounted to the wall. REL T/9x sub’s are to the left, right and behind the main speakers.

I went with the Eversolo DMP-A10. I paid $3,200. It's a noticeable upgrade to the A8. The sound stage is wider and deeper with better instrument separation. The big surprise was how pronounced the fathom center channel is with the A10 in my system. The music is a bit more lively than the A8 and pairs better with my Accuphase. I don't use the pre-amp capability. Since my music library is mostly ripped SACD's, stored DSD files, having 8TB's of internal storage makes managing my music easy, I just network map the A10's internal drives and copy music across my network. I took the A10 to a friends house and did some blind A/B testing against a Cary Audio DMS-700, ~$7k, and we both agreed the A10 more than held it's own.    

@thriftyaudio Who did you buy your A6 from? My A8 had an issue with it's Samsung M.2 NVMe drive. I purchased my A8 from Upscale Audio, they were very helpful and took my A8 back and sent a new one. The new one had the same issue in that the SSD drive would get corrupted and failed. After some research I discovered that the Samsung 970 EVO Plus drive I was using needed a firmware upgrade. I performed the upgrade on the drive by mounting it in my computer and using Samsung's dashboard tool. It's been rock steady ever since. In my research I found that the Western Digital Black SX850X NVMe drives and a Scandisk model also had issues and needed firmware upgrades. The two Samsung 990 PRO 4TB drives in my A10 had been performing flawlessly.  

@thriftyaudio Thank you for sharing your experience. It's never easy when it's an issue like you described - especially on newly released gear. I do, as probably you do, feel that in general most manufactures and dealers will go out of their way to help problem solve. I have read on many forums about early support issues from Eversolo - usually those experiences are hard for manufacture to recover from and rebuild the consumers trust. I wish you all the best on your journey and let us know what you finally settle on. (Innous and Aurender are great products).
