Excellent Video! EverSolo should produce a series of these tutorials. This is a lot better than trial and error, and figure it out on your own approach.

Hi, Before doing the installation of my new internal SSD 4 TB, I watch your video to do a perfect job at the first time and avoiding any problems with the format. (Ex: If i have to format the device on a computer before the installation and which type of format is better for the Eversolo). With you're help i'm saving my time and doing everything without any problems. Thank You for you're help and continue in this way: creating great videos...!!! (Sorry for my poor English writing) and by the way, no, i'm not ZZ Top...

I own a DMP A6 and I also added a 970 Evo Plus, 512 GB though...However, I formatted the drive in eversolo device and it would NOT recognize it, firmware 1.1.56, since than it looks they addressed the issue with 1.1.75 and I hope it is ok now. I did not try again as I formatted the drive in my PC and moved it into eversolo, so... I hope they fixed it. Otherwise the eversolo is a brilliant streamer/dac

How is the installed SSD performing? I have considered using the 970 EVO Plus, but benchmark tests are showing it tends to heat up and people are recommending to use a radiator, which probably will not fit in the Eversolo. On the other hand I do not assume reading and writing audio files should be that demanding on the SSD. What do you think?

I bought the Master Edition about 3 weeks ago. Problem recognising SSD (Samsung EVO 970), keeps dropping connection. Managed to rip 4 cds and the unit would not recognise cd player (Rioddas External CD Drive, USB 3.0 Portable CD/Dvd ). Tried anothe cd player (Hitachi-LG GP60 External DVD Drive) and it was not recognised either, display started to flash on and off. Sent it back to retailer who contacted Eversolo who said there is a problem with the power supply to cd and ssd at the same time. They think they can fix it with a firmware update. Still waiting for that. I updated the system when I received it 3 weeks ago.

I have had exactly the same problem, the display flashes on and off this resets my album file amongst others back to the start so can't play what I want. The ripper works but refused a lot of cds ,the album art is also missing on a few cds. I had my eversolo replaced but have now got the same problems, i have the latest firmware edition but this has not changed the performance. The loop now stays on sporadically , it's all so frustrating , I am sure this is more common than a lot of people think. I would be very grateful for some possible solutions, I don't have any streaming issues at all.
