I'm getting the Yamaha AS2200 integrated amplifier and was wondering how to hook up Eversolo dmp-a8 and use dmp-a8's pre amp. Do I put AS2200 in main derect so not to use both pre amps
Not sure what your budget is but assuming at least the $2k for the Eversolo you can look at Innuos, Aurender, Lumin, HiFi Rose, and Bluesound. Not sure if Eversolo has a streamer DAC combo without preamp.
Agree to go with separates. I’d go with a Denafrips Ares 15th and a Bluesound Node with an external linear power supply from Teddy Pardo, Sbooster, LHY, etc. A little north of $2k but worth the stretch IMO. Down the road you could add a Denafrips Iris DDC to run i2S into the Ares for another significant performance bump. Just one idea, and best of luck.
