I am pretty certain I am going to buy the Master version of the DMP-A6. Hans tested it and ended up adding it to his system. It is so inexpensive for being what it is. ---

> [@rkindel](#): > > The Pangea XL cables make a obvious difference in my system with most of the components I’ve tried it with and it’s at a price point that I don’t have to go to great lengths to hide the invoice from my wife. I think that’s a win win. You’re happy with the change, and that counts for more than a little. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. For those that can afford and appreciate it great. For the rest of us, live within your means. I am happiest with a primary focus on music, not audio components. My music library speaks to that. ---

Welcome to the Master Edition club. At first I wasn’t sure if springing for it over the standard edition was a smart decision. I knew it sounded great but, without a standard to compare it to I couldn’t know if it really was better. It was great to see that review this week from Hans confirming my choice. Do you stream to a external DAC? ---

It’s sure something how opinions can vary on a product. Harsh would not how I would describe it at all. Maybe I need to hear a $2000 power cord. Or maybe I should make it a point never to. ---

> [@aangen](#): > > I am pretty certain I am going to buy the Master version of the DMP-A6 I know you’ll probably wind up with master and standard at two separate locations, but it is incumbent upon you to test them side by side into the same DAC and tell us if there’s a difference. ---

I will trade you an Eversolo for an Ethos. Seems fair. ---

I’ve recently noticed that in eversol’s Tidal app, in the queue of songs, you can see whether the next song is flac or mqa encoded. This is not visible on the device itself or the original Tidal app, but only on the eversol tidal app on the phone/tablet :). ---

You’re probably right. Mostly just set up for part 2 with the actual review material. Biggest takeaway is that he believes the Master Edition actually does sound better than the standard edition. Not that long ago that no reviews were addressing this. ---

> [@rkindel](#): > > Biggest takeaway is that he believes the Master Edition actually does sound better than the standard edition. Not that long ago that no reviews were addressing this. saw that, too, but was it clear if he compared using the units’ internal DACs or though the same external DAC? Other reviews addressed it, but most said that the ME sounded better bc of its internal DAC. Through an external DAC, there was no difference. ---

Has anyone done much testing of the Eversolo’s preamp vs. a dedicated preamp? If its preamp is pretty good, that really does make it a killer piece of kit [Previous page](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/eversolo-dmp-a6-master-edition/33667.md?page=44) [Next page](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/eversolo-dmp-a6-master-edition/33667.md?page=46)
