HiFi Rose RS150B vs. Eversolo DMP-A10


I have an Eversolo DMP-A8 that I just moved to a system in a second home, so now I need to replace the streamer/DAC in my primary system. I started with a Cary Audio DMS 550, then replaced it with the DMP-A8, with a linear power supply upgrade, now thinking about going with the RS150B or the new DMP-A10. Any thoughts about the two? The streamer/DAC will be connecting to my Accuphase E-4000 integrated. The internal storage of the streamer is important to me as it houses my main music library - ripped SACD's so mainly all DSD files.

I’d recommend a good streamer from Innuos or Aurender (because they’re established and successful on all fronts) and a separate DAC that best produces the sound characteristics you’re looking for.  DACs are very different, personal, and important and what are the odds that a DAC bundled with a streamer is optimal for your particular tastes?  I’d say near zero so better to go with a separate DAC, and it also allows for more flexibility to upgrade either the streamer or DAC in the future as technology inevitably moves forward and improves.  Hope this helps, and best of luck.
