I am interested in this but only as a streamer. Has anyone compared it to other streamers, like the Lumin U1/U2 mini or the Holo Red?
EverSolo Streamer
I am enjoying the newly released EverSolo Streamer, which I received at the front door a few hours ago.
First, may I recommend Amir at SummitHiFi out of Toronto Canada. Exceptional service experience. I called Amir a few hours ago to check on status. He told me to check at the door and there it was! His site is SummitHifi-USA.com.
Setup was easy. Just follow the prompts on the touchscreen then scan the code and download the app. No remote is included, as one’s phone / iPad becomes the remote.
Connected to DAC via CParry’s SPDIF Coax BlackCat SilverStar 75.
The app is simplicity itself to navigate. Qobuz accomodated beautifully.
First recording selected; Charles Mingus; Changes: The Complete1970s Atlantic Studios Recordings;Hi-Res 24/96 I believe.
I am not really a Charles Mingus superfan, but I found myself enjoying several tracks.
The thought that comes to mind is, why did I wait so long to get a streamer? No more laptop connected via USB..Yippee! As William Mel Gibson Wallace blurted out as his entrails were torn out on a public torture rack by the wretched Norman English warlords (kidding); Freedom!!
The unit I ordered is the limited Master Edition. Adorned with gold accents, the Chinese marketing announces with great fanfare, ‘Highlight The Dignity!’ Well as I advance in years I felt I could use a way to highlight my dignity : ) The price for this model is $1,299 (if memory serves). I certainly would not pay an extra $450 for some gold accents, but for that modest increase one gets two Femto clocks (regular not Femto), as well as upgraded audio opamps. The sound is stellar. A very marked improvement over my laptop connected via USB.
I plan to wile away this Friday evening enjoying this small yet lovely streamer.

I connected the A6 to my Dad's McIntosh MA8950 via USB to the amp's internal DAC. Sounded best when the A6 passed the native format to the Mac. I set output to native and turned the Eversolo upsampling engine off. In his set up this provided the most clear and detailed sound. I can't really comment on the A6 versus my N200. It 's not apples to apples. One does streaming only and the other is a Streamer / DAC. I love the N200 , it is in a different league altogether. Build quality on Aurender products is exceptional, the Eversolo is very good. It is definitely a great value. Eversolo support seems to be OK so far. They released firmware last week. Aurender is unmatched in my experience. They just did an update and launched a new version of V Radio which is excellent. This is what I expect / demand from a streamer that price. The A6 can rip CDs with a $35 drive. Major bonus. It can also accept a dig input and be a DAC. It does a good job with album art. Sounds great when fitted with a SSD. FlAC files sound excellent. There is a lot to like I have to get behind my Dad's system later this week and will make it a point to connect the A6 in the analog domain to get a better sense of its sound via RCA out.
