Eversolo DMP-A8
You can't have more than one output selected and working at the same time with the A8.  You could use all the A8 outputs you want connected on other devices but you must toggle between them. NOTE: you should use mode 5 in the LAIV for the I2S an...

I2S is the best input for the LAIV  
Eversolo DMP-A8
I have the dmp a8 with Laiv dac.  You can connect all the outputs with wires to dac or amp. Only one output can be turned on and working between all possible output ( RCA, USB, I2S,  XLR, OPT, coax.)   
Have you heard LTA Aero, Lab12 Reference, Denafrips Pontus 15th?
As long as you can leave without MQA, DSD and no I2S input, and you already have a pre amp, you should be good. I must admit LTA customer service is first class.

I am auditioning the Aero Dac for 14 days.  I have the Laiv to compare that I consider in the same performance level than Pontus. Presently, the soundstage depth, height, microdetails,  clarity and 3D holographic is better with Aero Dac.  Normal,... 
LAIV Harmony
I am using the eversolo DMP A8 with I2S DH labs silver cable in the Laiv dac.  It brings me to 5,2k$ for streamer, cable and DAC combo.  Futhermore, the streamer has DSP to fine tune the sound as i want.  A lot cheaper than than your 6.2k$ and i ... 
Digital Reclockers are they worth the extra Effort - IMO YES
@mitch2,   Maybe adding a good OCXO clock in your SU6 10Mhz input would help to improve the sound? Daniel  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Thanks guys,  It looks like the LTA aero is a better choice presently and Aqua La Scala is ready for an upgrade.  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
LTA tube DAC design seems similar to the great Aqua La scala DAC but at half cost.  I would be curious if they are similare soundwise? About soundstage, holographic and instrument separation?  
Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly...
Now, let your A8 plays radioparadise for a week 24h/day and come back to us with your impressions. I would be really surprised to see that you still prefer the node steamer... The A8 is a completely difefrent animal with EQ, DSP, I2S, features.  ...

Macg19, there is setting in A8 audio menu to bypass internal sampling/processing .  When it is enable, the A8 will stream directly the flac files to and external dac without processing. I prefer this setting to on.   Check for : Eversolo original...

I am really happy with the A8 for streaming Tidal only .  I have the Laiv DAC and c2800 pre amplifier.  Maybe you are asking to much for the internal DAC?  The A8 with EQ filters and all streaming features(radio, youtube, Tidal, qobuz, roon ) is a... 
Match for McIntosh 352
It depends of your goal and budget.  I had the Sonetto V for one year in my system with the ma352.  Good performer until I upgraded to Olympica nova 3.  This is probably my end game speakers.  Bass, definition, image, look, everything is better wi... 
Eversolo v. HiFi Rose
I am Tidal user and listen their daily discovery Mix   1) Hifi rose is not Tidal connect 2) Rose connect app does not include  'My daily discovery Mix' from Tidal 3) when I like a track in Rose connect, it is not updated in Tidal.     
Eversolo v. HiFi Rose
Oh I forget to say that with the chromecast solution, you need an hdmi splitter to extract audio signal from hdmi to rca. Just connect an rca cable to  your external dac input and you are in business to hear and watch any youtube/Netflix contents ...
