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

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.  

Congrats on the new DAC.While I haven’t heard the T+A DAC, I understand it is very, very good - particularly for the price point. Please let us know how you like it.

I’m not familiar with the streamer you are considering but want to offer a few thoughts. My own experience suggests you will be well rewarded by pairing your very high quality DAC with a streamer of at least similar quality (and unfortunately, expense). 

For me (YMMV), going to a higher quality streamer made an even bigger difference than going to a higher quality DAC. Some will disagree, but there are plenty on these forums who have similar experience. There are readily audible differences as you go up the chain.

I suspect you would be pleasantly surprised by auditioning the Aurender N200 (or even N20 if your budget can stretch).. Auralic is also coming out w/ an upgraded version of their Aries G2.x streamer (and G3). The GRIMM MU1 (I’ve heard it - and it is very good). There are many others which I haven’t heard. Perhaps the matching T+A unit would be a good solution. 

Of course, you might find in your system that the DAC 200 negates the need for a higher quality streamer. So, an audition is a must. But I suspect, given such a high quality DAC, you could be in for a real treat going upstream.
