DAC to pair with Eversolo DMP-A6

I just remembered; Eversolo now has a DAC - no streamer, the Eversolo DAC-Z10.

This has a better chipset than the A8 and a better clock.  The Z10 is about the same price as the A8.

Connect the A6 to the Z10 via USB to get all the advantages of the Z10's components including its OCXO clock.  IIS would still use the A6's (inferior) clock.

You could even eventually add an external clock such as the Stanford Research FS725 (which I use) or the NR2110-RO from Novus.

@cbowie88 Why didn't you just get the DMP 10? Wouldn't that have been a better option.

I liked the smaller size and figured saving the extra cash to towards a DAC.

bigkidz    @mihorn More component (DAC + IC cable) will add more distortion and sounds worsen.  Please explain how you came to this conclusion.

I learn from my experience. I know few ways to eliminate the distortion noise. One way is reducing parts in signal chain. All audio parts contain the metal which is usually bad quality and they all generate the distortion noise. Some DACs have >1k parts and noises are so much. Many people misunderstood those distortion noises as a resolution, a wall of sound, immersive sound, etc. In fact, they are veils and masking the music behind noises. Alex/Wavetouch audio

@mihorn thanks for the clarification.

Appreciated.
