That app expects to be on a phone since it is the Android version. In your error message it says right there, Cellular or WiFi connection. So, try turning on Wifi on the device and see if the app works.
oh, sorry, i thought you loaded music files onto the SSD of the Eversolo and you were getting that message on the eversolo phone app.
No experience with NYA app/service/subscription, etc…
Yeah, I tried it; no luck. Just got the frozen 45 adapter 
One other issue: If I use “device volume” in Roon, it’s limited to 15(!)
Is there any way to change this? On my iPhone, I tried to enter volume to 100; it wouldn’t accept it. Or should I just use fixed volume (but lose the ability to change volume with iPhone).
Or is this just an arbitrary figure and just leave it be?
EDIT: Looking on the Eversolo, I see that it goes from 1-15, so all is well.
When you say “most devices”, are you referring to AVR?
My Pioneer AVR does have network trigger for Roon to turn it on, and after it finishes playing a few tracks, it turns itself off based on time-out timer, so I really like it.
To my knowledge, most DACs do NOT have this kind of network power standby feature (except Topping ones) which makes me hesitate a bit because I don’t know of their power consumption, espeically if they don’t have a trigger function.
I thought EU is very strict about electronic devices like these being left on when not being used/played, so I am curious why these Chinese DACs don’t have more advanced trigger functions available?
As Roon endpoints with standby I’ve the Naim Uniti HE, Naim, Naim Q2, MA Element i2, MA Mini 3 Pro, Lumin T2, Lumin U1 mini, Rose RS250, Fiio R7, …
Only the Eversolo hasn’t implemented none standby modus and this isn’t IMHO satisfying really…

Wow, in this case, it’s a shame that Roon gave them the certification without this requirement.
Surprised that a cheaper device like Fiio has it too. What is Eversolo thinking?
is this a roon requirement?
just to clarify… are you talking about the thing being able to be woken up from sleep by the network?
I wonder if those devices that CAN be woken from sleep are really “off”… we’re just talking about saving energy, right? (Otherwise you’d just leave the unit on, but with the screen off, which is what I do.)
I bet tho, that this could be a firmware update. To program it in sleep mode to use a minimum amount of energy; just enough to look for a network signal.
Ahdunno. Not an expert in these things.

Power control is optional not a requirement for any vendor same as volume control of preamps etc. But it’s a missed opportunity on such a device.

yes, my Pioneer AVR is in standby (unit not on) until I send a track to it from Roon, then it powers up.
I think “off”. “network standby”, “on” and “screen off” could be different things.
Here is my understanding
“off” = no power
“standby” = unit has power but it’s in sleep mode waiting for trigger to turn everything on
“on” = powered on
“screen off” = powered on just with screen shut off
I am not sure if Eversolo can implement a “standby” mode via firmware, if yes, that’d be awesome!
yeah, i think we’re thinking the same things… all’s I’m wondering is whether a device that says it’s in standby or power-save mode or whatever, that can be woken up, is using the same amount of energy as if it were on.

Yes, you can use the DMP with Roon, but it’s so unnecessary if all you really do is stream. I have some files on the local drive, but mainly use Qobuz. And the Roon interface is so much easier to use. I just found my Pontus II sounds so much better than the built-in DAC of the DMP.
yep, I’m using the DMP-A6 with Roon, but as a transport. So I’m not using its internal DAC. I’m sending the signal to the Pontus II.
It’s lovely.

Most modern streaming devices or amps won’t use much power in network standby compared to being on but it’s a little more than standard standby mode.
My Amp has two PSU’s as do Naim amps. Toroidal when on and an SMPS for when it’s in network standby. Network standby consumes a little more energy than a full standby mode but it’s not much more. Most give you a choice to enable network standby or not. If not only remote will bring it on.
Unlikely as it has to built into the hardware to do it it’s not just software. As power is needed to keep the network alive for a network standby. Standby and network standby are two different implementations and one uses slightly more power than the other to keep the network side going as Airplay etc are then all available, they would not in a full standby mode.
To sum up, is this a Roon Ready device that isn’t actually ready? Seems a major flaw in the certification requirements if so.
There’s no issues using this device with Roon. 30 seconds after turning it on it shows up as Roon Ready in Roon and is ready to use. If you have already enabled and configured the device in Roon your settings are there as well.

I am debating between an external DAC like Pontus II vs DMP A6. What makes Pontus II so much better than A6? Or is it more individual preference?
Yes it’s fine it just doesn’t have a network standby mode so Roon can’t power it on/off not something that is require for certification.
Preference one is likely not as neutral and has colouration compared to the other likely down to the Pontus being an R2R dac. You just prefer an R2R implementation, many don’t as they are not as accurate measurement wise and as a result not as neutral as using a chip based DAC. Go with what your happy with but it seems an expensive option if not using its in built DAC as that’s significantly adding to its cost and likely get just as good results with something say cheaper like the new CA or NAD streamers digital out.
