It is probably doing DoP which can handle dsd64 over spdif .   So it is basically converting dsd to pcm

Great machine.  Enjoy.   The MCT connection is the way to go if you listen to SACD   
CD Player: Vintage or modern ones?
I just picked up the Teac VRDS 701t Transport.   Great machine.    
Compare preamp of Eversolo a8 vs McIntosh c43
I ask because Eversolo is having issues with Macs and the A6/8 recognizing USB and wondering if yours works via USB and if so what ver FW is it? I agree, that system fully deserves a top notch streamer from Innuos , Aurender, etc.

My Dad uses Sonus Faber Elector Amator III with a REL S/510 with his 8950 and it's a great sounding combo.   The 9000 chassis is deeper and may be a challenge in some cabinets / stands also.   I would go new,  keep it nice and you are literally ... 
A Somewhat, Affordable Aurender
Big open sound with great low end. As Blisshifi said, great detail and resolution. It’s not cheap but the build , sound , and support is top notch. If I didn’t leverage a trade toward mine I would probably not have purchased it outright and that w...

An A1000 would be high on my list for an all in one.  I like the N200 Interface.   I also have a Vault  The N200 gets better with each FW Rev.
