 "The Verdict - DMP-A6 (Standard Edition)"

"With the DMP-A6, Eversolo has created an amazing value product that's a great entry point into streamed, networked, hi-res digital audio. It's a computer-less, all-in-one-box solution to facilitate media storage, streaming and digital preamp functionality. It's more intuitive to use than rivals from Matrix Audio, for example, and provides much greater flexibility. Next-tier down solutions like the Bluesound Node and Sonos Port offer a fraction of its capabilities, so you need to go a long way up in price to find a similarly capable and flexible digital media platform."

Self-Developed EOS Audio Engine

EOS (Eversolo original sampling-rate) audio engine is developed by Eversolo engineers, with the support of outputting original sampling rate, that is, audio playback completely bypasses the Android SRC restriction, supporting the direct audio output of third-party apps (Apple Music hi-res Direct output).

Hi-Res Audio & Master Recording Decoding

The DMP-A6 is Hi-Res Audio certified by JAS, which equates to guaranteed superior sound quality. Almost all ultra-high sampling master recording formats are supported by DMP-A6, including CD-quality formats (FLAC, WAV, APE), DSD512 (.dsf/.dff/.iso/.dst) stereo/multichannel and MQA. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording.

2x ES 9038Q2M DAC Decoding

Dual ES 9038Q2M chips are used to establish Double Differential Quadruple Converter for DMP-A6 DAC decoding. Two DAC chips correspond to two channels for D/A conversion output independently. So that it effectively avoids the interference between channels, reduces the background noise, obtains a better signal-to-noise ratio, and greatly improves the dynamic range and other audio indicators. Supporting DSD512, PCM768kHz/32bit, and MQA hard decoding.

The DAC setting of the DMP-A6 provides seven types of digital filters, with different modes corresponding to different sound characteristics, which can be switched according to personal preferences.

3rd Generation XMOS 316 Audio Processor

With a 3rd generation XMOS 316 audio processor, the DMP-A6 has faster speed and higher USB bandwidth, ensuring the lossless transmission of high-definition audio data. The USB port supports DSD512 Native, PCM768kHz/32bit and MQA full decoding. The Optical and Coaxial ports support DSD 64 (DOP), PCM192kHz/24Bit. 

Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth Module

Connect mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and other compatible devices to the DMP-A6 via Bluetooth for seamless high-quality wireless music playback. The Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth module used by the DMP-A6 supports SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD/LDAC codecs and is compatible with Bluetooth 5.0.

Large LCD Touchscreen for Better User Interaction

The DMP-A6 is a professional streamer system equipped with a large 6" LCD high-definition touchscreen. The simple but responsive user interface runs as smoothly as a smartphone and provides intuitive touch controls for accessing system settings, your local music library, third-party apps, and more.

DOH Chips for HDMI DSD Multichannel

As a multi-channel streamer, the DMP-A6 features dual DOH processing chips for HDMI audio especially to play and output master DSD music through the HDMI Out connection. Except for the support of DSD Native multi-channel raw output and D2P output (PCM multi-channel output) decoding, it also provides a regenerated high-precision independent clock for HDMI.

Internal High-Speed M.2 SSD Slot

Expandable with additional storage, the DMP-A6 features an M.2 NVME 3.0 2280 SSD slot built into the underside of the chassis, allowing you to integrate a solid-state drive up to 2TB without needing to open up the streamer case. Faster, stable and with no noise, SSDs are ideal for local high-quality music playback. SSD sold separately.

Rich Input and Output Ports

With its diverse talents and connections, the DMP-A6 easily integrates with just about any system. As a streaming source device, of course, it can be thought of as a digital turntable with access to a huge record collection via all its compatible streaming services and library of your own files.

The network streamer can connect with high-end decoding devices via the HDMI, USB, Optical and Coaxial digital output ports. Alternatively, as a decoder itself, the DMP-A6 connects with audio source equipment like PCs and mobile devices via the Coaxial, Optical, USB Type-C inputs ports, and wirelessly with APTX HD Bluetooth. Through the balanced XLR and single-ended RCA analogue outputs, you can connect directly to active speakers or to a hi-fi stereo amplifier in your two-channel or multi-channel system.

Fully Balanced Preamp Circuit

The DMP-A6 analogue circuit adopts a fully balanced design from DAC chip to the XLR and RCA stereo output. It provides better noise immunity and improves channel separation by eliminating shared loops for stronger and more consistent signal quality.

Low Ripple High-Performance Power Module

The DMP-A6 is equipped with a low-noise regulated switching power supply module and several dedicated audio capacitors with less ripple and interference. A choke filter circuit is specifically made for AC input, reducing high-frequency line noise in the region of 100kHz to 5MHz, ensuring cleaner power, a softer background noise, and clearer musical details.

Dual Accusilicon Femtosecond Clock Processing

Low-jitter high-precision dual Accusilicon Femtosecond clocks are integrated into the DMP-A6 Master Edition. Two high-precision crystal oscillators effectively reduce jitter and achieve more precise audio decoding.

Professional Tuning and Reliable Audio Indicators

The DMP-A6 has been expertly tuned, and the circuit has been thoughtfully constructed, thanks to the wealth of knowledge from engineers at Eversolo who come from a background in development in the hi-fi industry. THD+N is -120 dB (0.00009%), SNR is 128 dB, and dynamic range is 128 dB. The leading indicators provide a strong base for high sound quality.

Handpicked Audio Components

The sound quality of the DMP-A6 analogue output is monitor-level. The primary elements of the audio circuit are of very high quality, including WIMA capacitors from Germany, NICHCON dedicated audio capacitors, Murata chip capacitors and Omron relays from Japan, TI Audio Operational Amplifiers from the USA, etc. The goal is to provide a more authentic and pure sound performance with parts that have been proven reliable.
