Streaming recommendations

@jcipale if you’ll just be streaming internet radio, WiiM pro a good choice. Check ebay, there may be some good secondary market options for less than retail.

Enjoy the music! 

For a budget streamer you will love, the bluesound 2i. Easiest to use interface and best for the money.

Here’s a NO on the Eversolo DMP-A6 model.

It works. Sounds GREAT. HAs some really nice bells and whistles. I can even stream my favorite podcasts.

Tried importing CD’s into it. It only gets metadata on about - ABOT - three out of five discs. I’ve updated software, discussed with mfr, support groups on fakebook and the usual places. It’s the single most wasteful audio purchase ever.

CD’s Apple iTunes imports and populates with album art, track and album titles, 10/10, the DMP brings in as CD, track #1,2,3… etc.

Nice hardware, software, support seriously lacking. NOT worth buying. IMO. YMMV.

My Dad has an A6 Mastee.   Was working perfect and about a year into it they botched the FW and it no longer recognizes his DAC.  

Its a know issue with several other DACs.     It's been over a year and no resolve.    When I asked for an RMA 5 days before the warranty was up they stopped communicating....   

Decent hardware , terrible support and FW .   Its had about 5 updates, each one had issues.   

Bluesound is a much better platform , it may not have all the bells and whistles but it works for the most part.  

Anyone spending $2k to $4k on an Eversolo is nuts.   

I had a chance to use a WiiM Ultra and I would choose that over the A6 .  

Any potential buyers should read the pages of problems over on the Zidoo forum.  

New problems were drop out son Qubuz.    Really frustrating to have to put that thing in my systems to troubleshoot.
