@dwest1023 May I ask how your DMP-A8 compared to the RS130, with both only used as a digital streamer into an external DAC?

I hear some opinions that the A8 is as good as the RS130, with others claiming the RS130 (and Lumin U2) are superior.

My DAC is quite high-end, if that matters (Weiss 501).

IMO and in my system I found the A8 to sound better than the R130. As you know the A6 has a very forward sound. In my small listening room, it was just too much in my face. I purchased the 130, and at first, I thought it sounded very good. However, with longer listening, I found it too laid back and boring. It had no jump factor at all.. Just laid back and boring. Sold the RS130 and purchased the A8. It was laid back but not as much as the 130. I found the sound to be very refined. I always loved the Eversolo app. I think it is one of the best out there. The Hi Fi Rose app is the worst I ever came across. Bugs everywhere. I Could have been satisfied with the A8, but came across a deal for the Aurender N200. Now that unit IS on another level. It is a very musical streamer. and fits first my system perfectly. I consider the A8 to be awesome for the money. Eversolo fixed everything that I considered wrong with the A6.

Not that anyone responded but I figured out the answers to my problems in the post a couple above. For Apple Music, I had to go to the Cast choice rather than Streaming in order to control it. 

For the organization of my downloaded files, I had to add them to the Library before they were sorted. That works fine except for the process. I did not see any way to select all of my files to add to the library so I had to add them one by one. So either I missed how to do it easier or it is a miserable experience taking a few hours of repetitive actions.
