Guys, I'm learning about the DMP-6 and DMP-8 and trying to see if it's an option for my set up and if I'd be using it optimally. I currently have all my music on my laptop (ripped CDs on Apple Music as lossless ALAC and high-res FLAC files are run on my Colibri app). I stream Spotify (and could subscribe to Quobuz or Tidal, possibly. Undecided). Also undecided if I should use Roon. Sounds cool, but don't know that I'd use all it has to offer.

I'm thinking the DMP-6 would be a stand-alone solution where all my music and streaming could reside, taking the burden off my laptop? I have no need for listening in other rooms or other locations. My DAC and EQ duties are handled by my RME ADI-2 DAC FS.

Given my current set up, is the DMP-6 a match or superfluous/unnecessary?

I have the basic DMP-A6 and RME ADI-2. The difference to playing from an iMac with Audirvana is big. PEQ in Eversolo is better and easier than in RME.

How is it better? In what regard?

Transparency, rendering of space, separation of instruments. Eversolo is more user friendly

Interesting. I was looking at the DMP-A6/A8 as a replacement for the RME but was uncertain of the quality of the PEQ.
Moving them back to the top of the list

Nice! Does it have multiple EQ slots for saving presets like the RME does? I’m impressed if it can match or exceed the RME.

You can save several presets

Thank you guys- you've been really helpful in guiding my purchase decision. There are very few reasons NOT to buy this unit. I'll download the user manual and see if I can research my other questions.

While I enjoy having my laptop as the central brains of my music, I know it's not optimal because of reasons already discussed (memory, processing, possible jitter, etc.). I believe that with the A6/A8 (whatever I decide), I can listen to my files via SSD and stream. I'm concluding it will stream Spotify until I choose between other streaming options?

I suppose that when I'm browsing for music on-line with BandCamp, YouTube, etc, I could also have my laptop hooked up via USB and listen to those sites. The rest can reside right in the A6.

The A6 seems to be a bit lower in price these days, since the launch of the A6 Master and A8. Decisions!

easier since not that rich in functionalities. But it is quid--pro-quo!

What 'user frendly' has to do with the above 3!?

Two

More than two. In each slot you have 1 GEQ and 1 PEQ, but there are many slots. I have saved 3 slots so far and I still can save more

PEQ in Eversolo is easier to set up, has more functions, for example more filters can be used and most importantly it has 10 bands.

Nope! If you want to improve go for improvement in front or after wifi/modem.

Guys- If I connect my blu-ray player (for blu-ray audio only, not movies), will the A6 show me a listing of tracks on the screen? I'd like to not require a tv/monitor, if possible, for blu-ray audio.
