Is it worth replacing a Lumin D2 with an Eversolo dmp-a6 Master Edition?


Hey

 

i just got a new DAC (T+A DAC 200), to upgrade the internal DAC of my Lumin D2 (that i use as a streamer only now).

Do you think it will be a sonic upgrade to get an Eversolo dmp-a6? or just a cosmetic upgrade … or worse … can it sound worst?

 

TIA

It's supposed to be a very good streamer.    My Dad just ordered one.  I'm looking forward to setting it up for him.   Steve Huff loved the standard version.   

I use an Aurender N200.  If I had a T+A 200 DAC that is what I would consider.   But at $1300 the Eversolo could be a good value.  

I am going to post a mini review of my thoughts after setting it up.  He should have it in a few weeks, they are backordered

In my opinion, streamer is depends on its hardware and software/firmware, most important is the good support and after sales service in the long run.  If you are satisfied with your current streamer and its firmware stability, just stay with it.  

Are you a Roon subscriber?  I am, I hardly use my streamer (CXN V2) apps as mostly I use Roon Remote  via tablet/phone to browse and play music unless I listen to internet radio 

Is the DMP A6 features like display unit, VU meter attracts you?  

i do think that the DMP A6 is very attractive at the hardware level (more than the Lumin)

Summit HiFi is a distributor of these.  My Dad's should ship third week of June.   I believe they still have a few pre-order ones left from that batch.  He got the Master edition which has a Femto clock instead of a TXCO clock.   

Specs on both are ridiculously good....   but how do they sound?   I will be sure to post my impressions.
