It’s a decent streamer with many features, if you mean is the ‘master’ worth buying over the standard version then in pure sq terms no.But is the master version of this streamer worth buying?
Will there be a review of this too?

in terms of reproduction quality, a DAC with a PC or a streamer is always better because there is a lot of difference in terms of consumption because I have to turn on a PC and a TV while the streamer I only have to use the smartphoneIt’s a decent streamer with many features, if you mean is the ‘master’ worth buying over the standard version then in pure sq terms no.

I have this question also, please.I'm using A6 directly to AMP (Volume bypassed amp), and hence use the digital preamp/Volume control in A6.
Will an Analog preamp will be sounding better? Will an separate Analogue pre amp like topping Pre90 would be better than the built in A6 digital preamp?
What's the difference between an Analog and digital pre amp in short?
I use fully digital media for my listening.
The only scenario in which an analog preamp can sound better is if you can currently hear hiss out of your speakers with music playing, but the hiss goes away when you plug the DMP-A6 out of the Amp.I'm using A6 directly to AMP (Volume bypassed amp), and hence use the digital preamp/Volume control in A6.

An analog preamp preserves SNR by attenuating both signal and noise.What's the difference between an Analog and digital pre amp in short?
Thanks for the comment. No Hiss I can hear even if I put my ear closer to the speaker cone. Will stay with this setup.The only scenario in which an analog preamp can sound better is if you can currently hear hiss out of your speakers with music playing, but the hiss goes away when you plug the DMP-A6 out of the Amp.
If you can't hear hiss from your speakers at your MLP, then a separate analog preamp won't do anything.

A digital preamp only attenuates the signal. Noise stays constant.
Direct sweep with REW and using the filters from rew , will not work because PEQ is not available in USB inputs and no DSP available in A6. I tried this method and during verification the filters were not correctly implemented, due to the close q adjustments along with gain, Rew filters makes. It was distorting .So i made a sweep to understand the behavior, then played with the RTA to get the approximate values. Its a time consuming process.To use EQ effectively you need to acoustically measure with RE`W, which will pinpoint any issues you then use the filter parameters REW has created, and input them into the A-6.

Yes i followed the same steps as you mentioned. Laptop to A6 via USB and had the sweep done. While doing the sweep itself my XLR is the output. Then created the filters and used the rew filter values and manually implemented the filter values. But didn't worked , as the sound was completely distorted.Connect your laptop to the A-6 via usb, select the A6 as your default output, run REW, create filters, select XLR output on the A-6 and then ‘EQ’ and add the filters REW has created.

I entered all filters including positive gain filters until 100 Hz. But I limited max gain to 3(if I remember correctly) , so not much gain in it. But I can also try implementing only negative gain filters and see if it improves.You only entered negative gain filters in the low bass region?
