Apologies if this question has been answered already: does the DMP-A6 volume also control the digital outs?
If you set the A6 to use both RCA+XLR the output is at RCA levels
No - You can only change these settings:can you set the RCA+XLR gains individually
If you connect the A6 to your Benchmark DAC2 HGC via one of its digital outputs . the A6 would function as a plain streamer/media playerWhat will I gain by interposing a streamer, such as the Eversolo
What does a streamer give me that I don’t have now?If you connect the A6 to your Benchmark DAC2 HGC via one of its digital outputs . the A6 would function as a plain streamer/media player
Except for the convenience & remote control feature, nothing.What does a streamer give me that I don’t have now?
Thanks. I have an inexpensive steamer that I hate and have put back in its box, but was able to connect the Mac to the streamer via Ethernet and relocate the DAC/headphone amp near my bed for late night listening. With the current set up, the Mac runs 24/7, the Benchmark DAC and Marantz AVR each have a remote control, and I control Audirvana using an app on my iPad.Except for the convenience & remote control feature, nothing.
Of Course they do have different voltages, that is inherent to Balanced vs Single Ended. Though the voltage of XLR should not change when switching between XLR only and XLR+RCA. That proves the device is broken by design.If you go back to the 1st post (the review) you'll see that RCA and XLR outputs have different voltage.
If you set the A6 to use both RCA+XLR the output is at RCA levels.
Please read carefully what I wrote : I do have a NAS. And I am not talking about adding an SSD for a local library, I am talking about the amount of memory available to install the apps and future updates that might be larger. These will not install on the SSD. The amount of "ROM", as they call it incorrectly, is not enough to be future-proof.Really? You have up to 4Tb internal m2 SSD + virtually unlimited USB storage . .
You can also use a NAS with features such as RAID 5/6 etc (which people caring about reliability, resiliency and redundancy do)
XLR usually have higher voltage than RCA (typically doube)Of Course they do have different voltages, that is inherent to Balanced vs Single Ended. Though the voltage of XLR should not change when switching between XLR only and XLR+RCA. That proves the device is broken by design.

Mine did for awhile too . It’s a rolling update so you should get your notice soonSo where is the newest update hiding? Nothing on EverSolo website about the newest 2. whatever update I believe mine is 1.80 but when I hit my button on updating it, it still says up to date on the screen.
I have the mini3 and no question to me the dac in Eversolo sounds better. Minii4 I have no idea , never heard itI got both the eversolo dmp-a6 and the matrix mini-i4. There’s no saying otherwise, the ever solo beats the matrix in terms of a streamer standpoint but it sounds lean and bright. On the other hand , the mini i4 sounds more full bodied. I’m a bit torn because I like the ever solo as a streamer but I like the sound of the mini i4…
