Thanks for your reply!The Atmos tracks play at a normal volume on my phone using the app. I have not tried casting it to the Cube.
Would be interesting, how it works for you, if you tried casting.

Any chance that Atmos support will ever come to A6?The UHD 8000 development might have slowed down major firmware updates? Interesting to see if the UHD8000 allows Tidal and Apple Music Atmos support.
Are there maybe hardware limitations, why I cannot play Atmos? I´m afraid we will have to wait for another Eversolo. Some days ago I saw a video on Youtube from someone, who visited an exhibition (forgot, which one it was) , who said he knows from Eversolo that they will come up with some new streamers, some cheaper ones without DAC and some that are higher end. I guess and hope that some of those will play Atmos.
Right now I use an Oppo to stream multichannel local files, Fire Cube for Amazon Atmos Music and a Cinema 30 for everything stereo streaming. If I bought an Eversolo, it would have to do the "work" of the Oppo, the Cinema 30 and the Cube for music and that would have to include Atmos.
I´m wondering how much that licensing might cost, if cheap devices like a Fire TV stick can pass through Atmos.
I use the digital coax to some active speakers, and the good news is that the A6 now achieves smooth volume control across the full range without any sudden jumps or silences, but the bad news is that the implementation still needs work as there remains a constant hiss that gets worse at low volumes.I just installed version 1.3.30
I think the EVC (Eversolo Volume Control) improved a lot on this version. I am controlling a miniDSP SHD Studio connected via USB and it seems to be working good. At least way better than on previous versions. I really prefer this way than using two different remotes.
What is your experience?
@mirror88. Hello, dear developer. After updating Eversolo A6 to version 1.30.30, the trimming service Qobuz stopped working. Error: service unavailable.
Is that a beta update? Mine is still on 1.3.23.
I would appreciate it very much if anybody could tell me how long it takes for the DMP-A6 (either of the two editions) to wake up (become fully operational) from the standby mode. I have just read the discussion between several members of the community (in particular, @glc650, @nawfal07, @hearone) in June 2023 about whether the standby mode in the DMP-A6 is a real standby or essentially a full shutdown. Irrespective of the semantics, this discussion was very useful, but it does not give a clue regarding my question.
The rationale for asking the question is the following. I have had the Cocktail Audio N25 as a music server/streamer for a couple of years. It takes about 45 seconds for the N25 to wake up from the unique standby mode (the WLAN connection is established after 35 seconds), which is essentially a full bootup, and I am starting to feel pretty fed up with this sluggishness each time I want to use the N25. The option to leave it always on is, in my view, not a technically sensible solution. I am therefore considering buying either the DMP-A6 (either version) or the Cambridge Audio CXN100. The CXN100 has two standby modes, the full standby mode (as I understand, the startup time is 5-8 seconds) and the network standby mode (essentially immediate reaction), both with a low (by industry standards) power consumption. I want to know how the DMP-A6 and the CXN100 compare in this regard.
Another question (not, I think, unrelated to the above). When comparing the information about the DMP-A6 and the CXN100, I looked at the pictures (abundant on the Web) of the two devices without the cover. I am aware of the dual DAC in the DMP-A6, etc. That said, the electric circuit in the CXN100 seems to be substantially more sophisticated from the electrical engineering point of view. One of the differences worth mentioning is that the number of capacitors (of any type) is by far larger in the CXN100 (this concerns all parts, including the power supply part, where also the size matters). Although I am by no means an expert in the field, the minimum knowledge, common sense, and intuition suggest to me that this is probably a telling fact about the technical quality (which may or may not be essential to the sound quality in the case of these two devices). What is the view on this of more experienced people in the forum?
