Eversolo DMP -A8 Server,Dac, Streamer,Preamp - best bang for the Buck
Not sure why you needed 2 threads on this but I have the DMP-8 for my second system and so far I like it. I'm not crazy about the app and haven't tried certain things such as the room correction. I did install the SSD and I like that except, again... 
*DAC
@navyachts If you are happy with what you got, you are there. Out there, here be dragons.   
300b lovers
@lynn_olson After Seattle last year, I made sure that I got pre-checked from TSA. Something like that can make your life much more pleasant.   
What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific)
@mgrif104 That's interesting stuff. I saw a review on the T+A which said the DSD section was excellent whereas the PCM was good. I am new to this stuff so I'm going to have to figure out how to use the DSD section.  The other thing about the T+A ... 
What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific)
Previously I ran my PC through an ifi iDSD which allows choice of a solid state, hybrid or tube section. I expected to be thrilled by the T+A but I can't say that I am although there are many variables and I'm still trying out a few things. The ma... 
What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific)
There is a video out there comparing the T+A 200 DAC and the Holo May.KTE and it is here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKxqXUeFSg0   I have the T+A DAC (only had it in use for a month or so) but I can't really speak to any comparisons.   
Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8
Not that anyone responded but I figured out the answers to my problems in the post a couple above. For Apple Music, I had to go to the Cast choice rather than Streaming in order to control it.  For the organization of my downloaded files, I had t... 
Another post about a streamer upgrade
Just stepping in for my two cents on the issue. I was streaming (just AppleMusic) from a computer through an ifi iDSD to my integrated tube amp on my main system. I had a Bluenote X on my secondary system. I got a T+A 200 Dac mostly in trade and ... 
Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8
I have the Eversolo DMP-A8 and I like it for my second system but have issues with the phone app (Android). I can't seem to get AppleMusic on the phone app even though I signed in on the unit. Also, I'm not sure how to get the SSD files organized... 
Aurender N150 vs N200
@blisshifi  Do you know which additional third party apps are in the works?   
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Dandy Warhols in mid-October. Tiny venue but they were great.  
Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others?
Ray Davies would be at the top of my list with David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Tom Verlaine and lately Molly Rankin (Alvvays) is really moving up in my estimation.   
Female vocals
I like many female artists but not female vocalists. There are plenty of female artists who write, play and sing their music. I've mostly not been enamored by a vocalist with a few exceptions. I just enjoy the female pov and they mostly do not ten... 
Martin Logan vs. Everything
I think there are people who like or get the electrostatic or planar sound and others who don't. If you really like or love that sound, don't worry about what others think or tell you.   
Is my amp good enough?
Agree that you should hear the new speakers with the amp and pre. I had always heard, never experienced myself, that NAD was a very good match with Monitor Audio. I personally owned several NAD amps (pre-class D) and always liked the sound.
