Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp

Just got a Naim NAC N272 on a trade. Running it into a Pass XA30.5. It’s very very good IMO. Just being phased out but has been a 6k model since 2016. Can pick one up for $1500 or so now used. Steal for that price.

Have you already purchased the Eversolo? If not, I would seriously consider purchasing an Aurender, Innous or Lumin Streamer/DAC instead. I have heard some disturbing comments about the firmware upgrades and customer support that you should look into.

I would at least read some of the Eversolo articles on this site. I was considering the Eversolo and asked for feedback myself.

I ended up going with Aurender.

Eversolo Aurender

Check out the Aurender A1000 , yes it's a lot more than the A8 but you are getting a lot more.   Eversolo support is bad,  every firmware update has new issues and the problems they were supposed to correct aren't.  Total amateurs at software development compared to Innuos, Aurender, Bluesound.  

Don't fall for the Eversolo hype, it is disposable HiFi.  

Check out their forum, lots of complaints from last week's firmware.  Totally non responsive if you have a problem, you need to scour their forum for the answer , if there is one.  

Companies like Aurender can remotely address any issues .   Buy a streamer from a company with resources to support it.  

Hi @garrymac 

The Yamaha AS2200 integrated amplifier reproduce music that sounds real. Paired with Clayton's Caladan OB speakers, the music sounds real. Sorry, I am not good with words but listen for yourself.

The AS2200 is all analog. Its Main In jack is SE though, not XLR.

You want to use an external Pre-Amplifier to your A-S2200? This means the A-S2200 will be used as a Power amplifier only.

- All you need to do is connect the Pre-Amp's output to the MAIN IN Left-Right input of the A-S2200.
- Lastly, you need to select the MAIN DIRECT input on the A-S2200.

Best is to re-confirm with Yamaha Customer Support.

Hope you like your set-up.
