Aren't most of the improvements on the ME version done on the DAC side of this unit?

@mr_m...that's what I thought also, but can't find any definitive answers.  I use an out-board DAC too.  I was hoping one of our members had both versions and could enlighten us... 

I spoke to Amir the owner of summitt audio and he said the clocking and op amps made the background uierer  and noise floor lower. I’m only interested in the Dac and streamer portion of the unit .

jjss49, pls let us know about your thoughts comparing it to the Innuous zen mini when you’ve had a chance to compare.

im also thinking about the Geshelli J2. People like cheap audio man love the j2. I spoke to one of the family members and I was impressed with her openness , honesty and customer service. She was wonderful! With support like I experienced I’d buy from this company. Much less expensive but great reviews and customer support. 
 

im overwhelmed by the choices and people saying the difference is not as big as other factors.

Big +1. @jjss49 I’d be VERY interested in your impressions as I’m sure many others here would be too. That’s a very intriguing collection of streamers you have there! I’ve got the Zen Stream but my next upgrade was gonna be to the Innuos Zen Mk3 so…

@soix @brianportugal et al

i am currently on a summer vacation in spain, will be gone for another week, so i won’t really have proper answers on the streamer comparisons for probably another several weeks ... sorry about that not being any sooner

i ordered the eversolo master unit from summit several weeks back and it arrived just a couple days before we left for our trip (i wasn’t going to order both the plain jane and the master version, so i just picked the master with the purported better clocking and ic output stage)

before i left for the trip i played it using my usual cleansed lan feed using its internal ess sabre dac output first, and what i heard was predictably that very well known clean clear crisp spacious rhythmic sound signature that that chipset is well known for when coupled to a good ss output stage

i will compare the streamer output(s) against the others i have in house in due course, but as you know, to do that properly, using the various digital outputs into various dacs, will take some time to cover the many permutations - one that i quickly did was compare its rca spdif out against my well-used ifi zenstream with 12v lps, both feeding the same musical fidelity trivista dac using roon, i could not hear any difference
