In search of a streamer which does well with reading from a 2TB external SSD

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I have tried a few with some success, but I am after something which really works well without freezing-up and has a better than HEOS app.

I have tried a couple of Fiio DAPs, a Cambridge CXN, and I currently have an Eversolo DMP-A6. The Eversolo is the best of the bunch, but is still prone to freezing-up.

It's not the unit or the SSD M.2 because it works fine on the unit's touch screen, but the app is a different story.
I have the DMP-A6 hardwired (CAT7) to the router (350 Mbps) and the Wi-Fi feed where I use the app is very strong according to a Wi-Fi signal strength app.

Budget is $1500 max. Recommendations from those who use a SSD are what I am most interested in. I have no desire to stream from any services as I have over 5k CDs ripped to digital files. My only other use for it is radioparadise.
