I was referring to your guess of £1500 for the new model. (Nobody sane would buy from Aliexpress with liability for customs, VAT and returning abroad for warranty. But that’s for another thread)
We have pretty much got that already in one box. And with a proper warranty and shops you can visit!Looks amazing. I wish they would release a matching Class D amp with 200WPC.
It looks like it's going to cost nearly £2k and there's no mention of Spotify connect support.

I gather they are well liked as a dealer, and a family link with Elite Audio. I was trying to think of the streamer and class D amp you wanted, and the Cambridge has both. That’s all!I bought my Audiolab Omnia as part of a trade in from Audio Emotion in Scotland and they are spot on.
I wouldn't think twice about another trade in, if I was looking for a new streaming unit.

Purely my opinion: They may have taken a leaf from the Japanese but they haven’t taken the whole Japanese ethos as they continue to churn out poor quality items. They may learn fast by pinching ideas from western and Japanese brands but they still produce a lot of tat. I think another member on here stated the Chinese are good manufacturers for western brands but turn your back on them and quality is the first thing to go, or they produce cheap inferior counterfeit copies of the licensed products.
IAG's 'expertise' has been spread too thinly across so many brands and model ranges. The QC is way below par and as I've mentioned before, I've done with the Chinese made / owned UK brands.
My experience of IAG has been different to yours. I've owned something from every brand, and although a lot of it hasn't suited me in performance I have never had the slightest quibble with QC. I challenge anyone to find a better made pair of small speakers than my QX1s around the same price. IAG's packaging is also superior to a lot of other brands.
So true, prices have really come down. I just paid £65.99 for a 2TB SSD NVME M.2 (Biostar new - I believe, there's 4 left in stock) on eBay and £20 for an external case, I'll plug this in the digital transport. The old Lacie 512GB external drive will be passed on to the Marantz CD/SACD player.
The link Pod has provided for this UK retailer has listed the price at £1.9K that's more than twice the price of DMP-A6. This is typical of a new product, first takers are going to pay a lot for the privilege. I suspect, give it a few months, it'll come down significantly once other retailers start selling.We have pretty much got that already in one box. And with a proper warranty and shops you can visit!

), you're not subject to EU tax. there's a Dutch retailer selling £200+ less (euros). I suspect you will need to pay for the shipment.

The CA is a different beast, it may have a D class amp integrated but it costs almost £3K and lacks the specs of DMP-A8 (top of the range AKM, not ESS as per the CA). I agree though, D Class would be absolutely fabulous.
It is a shame. The amplifier boards would easily fit inside a full width device, if they used something similar to those in the Audiophonics amp:
My JF digital transport, is heavily customised Android OS, you wouldn't know it. It's as smooth as butter but maybe because it isn't bloated like like a normal android phone.
Crumbs! You seem to be having some trouble reading prices. First you guess that the new Eversolo will be £1500 when it’s already advertised by several British dealers at £1890.
My bad, the CA price I looked at on Google was dollars not Pounds haha ... I need my eyes tested!
Some companies, like Audiolab are ditching DTS PlayFi and many BluOS machines might disappear, if the updates start to cause problems. I think Audiolab now use a Linux variant with the 9000N and you can bet your bottom dollar, Linux and its derivatives are not going away any time soon. Let's hope more companies start using Linux based streaming apps. Because it's open source software, licensing is not really an issue.
Linux is stable as a rock, I wish it had a much wider adoption in hand held devices, such as mobiles. It works a charm on my MAG 523 IPTV streamer box.
One of the reasons I struggle to recommend any streaming products beyond a laptop, phone, tablets ,computer or if you can get hold of one a chrome cast audio.
as I said it an unpopular opinion and I’m sure it is a fine product and is very slick in use. And if you’re Apple Music user its pretty much the only game in town.
