I love my Eversolo DMP-A6 that plays native APPLE MUSIC LOSSLESS. And I upgraded the powersupply to linear LPS by Beatechnik.

I have a MiniPC running Roon/Qobuz connected by ethernet cable to an iFi LAN iSilencer into the Zen Stream. Which is connected through USB to a SMSL DO300EX DAC. That combo sounds pretty good, much better than my Blusound Node 2.

Nice, SMSL doing really good things too.

I’m sure others will ask about others A8, Innuos, and others, Grimm MU1/2. This just shows the universe of streamers is huge at the minute.

Wiim Ultra as a beginner. Rated 8 in streaming & 8 in DAC. I wonder how to differentiate the sound of 9 out of 10 or 10/10?

Excellent! An affordable alternative may be the 6000N play by Audiolab, that has a no-nonsense front but with 6 presets. Now with the introduction of both the 7000 and 9000 range, retailers are cleaning up their inventory as it were, so the 6000N now often retails for ridiculous discount prices. It hasa high quality circuitry, its own solid transformer and an excellent sabre 9018-dac for the money. It is truly excellent with many review awards. Its only downside is the Play Fi app, but the 6 presets do ease the pain somewhat…atb, Gerlach Sven

Thanks for your comment. The Audio lab 6000N is indeed a good piece of equipment. We tend not to review items that we haven't had a good chance to listen to. Looking forward to seeing if we can get our hand on one of the 8000 or 9000 ranges.

Oops - finger trouble. I meant the 7000!

I've got had the 6000a it's a good streamer but playfi is frustrating and let's the system down, can be mitigated with other software and the required stream platform quoboz tidal using upnp software, but has no Chromecast, apple airplay or roon or usb but has native Amazon music which is not common on other streamers. User software is important in a streamer if it's buggy it frustrates and ruins the experience. 6000a Sounds good though vfm

I think the Aqua linQ is the absolute best streamer on the market- and I haven't even tried it yet😂😜... because I demoed both the aqua La Scala and Formula DAC's at my home in my system and wow 🎶now to connect the linQ with the Formula🧨🎉🎶 or simply compromise on the lower end products...😮

Hi there, thanks for the comment. I'm not familiar with Aqua but I'll see what I can do. The linQ reads well, thanks for the heads up.

Cambridge knocking it out of the park at the moment. The new CXN 100 looks really interesting. The AXN10 i reviewed recently is down to 449 now.

Understood, there is a ranking on that table near the end (about 9'44"), my assessment of the quality and streaming performance. The streamers are all reviewed on the website, the link is in the comments section above. Thanks for the comment.
Nice, I've just received a Nuprime 5V power supply so will be looking into that soon, power supply upgrades are always worth investigating

Why would you compare a 5,000.00 dollar pice of equipment to a eversolo 800.00 dollar pice, keep it to fair run, not a pice that cost 4× it's MSRP come on

Yes, fair comment, but really we were trying to highlight the options across the range, from very affordable to high priced. Interestingly the new Auralic 'Entry-Level' S1 would work well in this video at £2,000, the review is coming shortly. It is a stripped-back piece of Auralic kit that is seriously of great value in the context of your comment. Thanks for the comment.
