@zavato The Eversolo A6 does not have AES out. The A8 does. Maybe worth upgrading?
Upgrade Suggestions please
Hey All,
I'm running an Eversolo A6 with Beatechnik LPS to a Merason DAC1 Mk2 via Supra Excalibur USB. Sounds really good but still pales to my analog rig. Any suggestions on where to upgrade to get closer to vinyl?

@maprik - then worth trying the A6’s SPDIF output. You can get a surprisingly very good SPDIF coax cable that is very reasonable- Canare CV-77S terminated in Canare 75 ohm rca plugs. It’s surprising that many cables sold as 75 ohm cables mess it up with terminations that aren’t 75 ohm terminations. This is why I believe all 75 ohm digital interfaces should have BNC connectors. |
@maprik There’s lots of info all over on AGone forums in getting a digital set up on par with vinyl. The whole chain needs to be tip top. Just like a Turn table, tone arm, needle, phono pre are needed for vinyl. These are the basic parts. A good quality audio switch with a good PSU. High quality ethernet cables and'or optical ones. Ethernet filtration (Network Acoustics or the like). Mid to high end DAC High end streamer. Quality Shielded cables/connects. Digital is susceptible to noise and the goal is to avoid it

no it’s not. There’s no benefit in AES connection in a streamer if the streamer clock is worse than DAC clock. |
