Which one? My one tells v1.1.75 is up to date.
It is a bit strange, I also updated to the new firmware (1.80). The Radio Paradise and Deezer icons and everything is there which come with the update, yet when I go to the 'About' tab to check my fw version it says 1.75.
When I try to manually update again, it says I have the newest version. Reboot or switching on/off didn't help to solve this. I don't care too much, it is just a bit strange.

Yes strange behaviour. The latest version is 1.1.80 and that is what my A6 says after the update. If you see the Radio Paradise and Deezer integrated into the Streaming section, then the update has occurred. Only thing to try would be a factory reset, then try the firmware update again, but as you say it's liveable with.

A quick factory reset solved the issue. Now it is showing 1.80.

Just tried ripping on the A6 following the latest firmware upgrade. Previously when I tried ripping, there were issues with no artist being attached to the rips, so the library integration would then not display the artist concerned, the files would play but were orphaned without an artist name. I documented this on post#22 on this thread. So I gave it another go hoping things would improve. Happy to report that this is the case but there are still things to fix. After the CD is recognised, I see correct art, album name, track names but no apparent artist at all. If you press the edit button to the right of the album name, you will see that only the generic name "artists" is connected with the album. If you type in the correct artist name and proceed with the rip, then the resultant album folder will have the entered artist name appended on the end of each track name. If now you add this into your music library via an update to library, then you will now find the artist correctly discovered under artist, and album also found OK under albums. To maintain consistency of organisation of my library of rips, I moved these A6 rips inside an artist folder that I created as the ripping does not do this I.e. artist,album,tracks sequence of files. This is also added to library ok and the artist now discovered correctly. I don't know why the ripping database step doesn't show the artist and that I have to enter it manually, an issue to be fixed in the future. The library construction does appear to work better now with the new firmware, I could never get the artist to be listed properly even when I manually entered artist name before the latest update. So far just 2 CDs ripped, same manual input of artist name required on both, but overall process fast. So definately some improvements to ripping.

May I ask what streamers (I use Tidal mainly) would be recommended in the range of $2000 preowned for my Yggdrasil OG DAC?

thanks so much in advance :)
Purely as a streamer the Eversolo would work fine. I have a Rose Audio RS250 and you can get that for your budget. The big advantage for me is the possibility to watch video as well. And Rosetube can play YouTube without ads. Guilty pleasure... I use it more for video than audio 🙄

Excellent written review of the DMP-A6 on the Darko.Audio website by John Grandberg. Lots of detail including using it as a digital transport rather than the usual DAC oriented reviews. Overall he rates the A6 very highly even using it with very expensive external DACs.

Meant to add a link here when my article went live, but I forgot until now. Here is a LINK if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

I rate the DMP-A6 very highly and gladly use it with or without an outboard DAC.
