Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen 2 Network Player

Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen 2 Network Streamer

The Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen 2 is an updated premium version of the already excellent DMP-A6 network streamer. It combines superb sound quality and versatile features with ease of use.

A refined diamond.

The Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 is further developed from the original DMP-A6 Master Edition streamer. New features include a linear power supply, a Retina-level high-definition display, and an HDMI ARC connection. The Master Edition offers a significant audio quality leap compared to the basic A6.

The mechanical quality of the device is impressive, and the usability of the DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 is excellent. However, both of these would be secondary if the sound quality wasn't up to par. Whether we're talking about measured performance or subjective opinion, the DMP-A6 lineup represents the absolute top of its class.

Eversolo is a manufacturer that many in Finland hadn't heard of until recently, but Eversolo's parent company, Zidoo, might be more familiar. Either way, Eversolo's products have quickly won numerous "best in class" mentions in international press and online publications. Eversolo's products are aggressively priced, and it's difficult to name competitors that offer comparable performance and mechanical quality at the same price point. Additionally, Eversolo's product software is truly refined and functional, and the manufacturer listens attentively to market feedback and wishes, releasing updates regularly.

Result of long development work

The Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 is the result of extensive development work that aimed to consider the pros and cons of several network streamers on the market and create a product that combines as many positive aspects as possible with minimal shortcomings, without the price spiraling into stratospheric categories. The DMP-A6 Master Edition includes a quad-core processor and large memory capacity optimized for music playback. Numerous digital inputs and outputs, multi-channel DSD HDMI output, dual ESS9038Q2M professional-grade D/A chipsets, a fully balanced design, and impressive mechanical quality combine to produce a result that many publications have deemed the best in its class. All of this is enhanced by an extremely quiet linear power supply, which further improves performance. HDMI ARC allows connecting a TV to the Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2, making the streamer the core of the entire AV stereo system.

EOS audio processing

EOS (Eversolo original sampling-rate audio engine) is a technology developed by Eversolo engineers that completely bypasses Android's SRC limitations, enabling bit-perfect audio playback from third-party applications – for example, Apple Music hi-res direct output.

EVC volume control for digital output

EVC, or Eversolo Volume Control, uses a unique algorithm that ensures the signal waveform remains true to its original when adjusting the digital output volume. This is a great benefit for all DSP speaker users, as it allows bypassing the streamer's DA conversion and the speakers' AD conversion. The signal is fed to the speakers digitally at the desired volume, remaining as clean as possible without unnecessary conversions.

Online music services

The DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 offers comprehensive support for the most popular online music streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, etc. Thanks to continuous development, new services are added regularly based on user feedback.

Broad support for Hi-Res files

The DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 supports almost all Hi-Res audio formats, including CD-quality formats (FLAC, WAV, APE), DSD512 (.dsf/.dff/.iso/.dst) stereo/multi-channel, and MQA, etc.

Large LCD touchscreen

The Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen 2 is equipped with a large 6-inch Retina-resolution high-definition touchscreen. The DMP-A6's simple yet elegant user interface makes controlling settings, music library, and third-party applications easy and effortless. It operates as smoothly as a mobile phone.

DOH chipsets for multi-channel DSD HDMI

As a multi-channel network player, the DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 utilizes DOH chipsets specifically for HDMI audio playback and Hi-Res DSD music output. Not only does it support DSD Native multi-channel native output and D2P output (PCM multi-channel output), but it also provides a high-precision discrete clock for HDMI. This allows it to also be used as a digital turntable.

Internal high-speed M.2 SSD slot

The M.2 NVME 3.0 2280 SSD slot allows for quick mass storage installation without removing the cover. The maximum storage capacity is 4 TB. A fast, stable, and silent solution – key for high-quality local music playback.

High-quality power supply

The DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 is equipped with a new linear and very quiet power supply. You will not hear any extraneous mains hum from the outputs of this device or mechanically from the power supply itself. All of this leads to a blacker background from which musical details can emerge as undisturbed as possible.

3rd generation XMOS processor

The 3rd generation XMOS 316 processor ensures very fast data transfer and bandwidth when using USB connections. USB inputs support up to DSD512, PCM768@32bit, and MQA formats. Optical and coaxial inputs support up to DSD64 (DoP), PCM192@24bit frequencies.

Low jitter dual clocks

The DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 utilizes two ACCUSILICON FEMTOSCOND oscillators for even more precise jitter elimination and more accurate signal processing.

Fully balanced preamplifier

The signal path of the DMP-A6 lineup is fully balanced from the D/A chipset to the XLR and RCA outputs. This design ensures better signal-to-noise ratio and channel separation.

Channel-specific ES 9038Q2M D/A chips.

Unlike many other network streamers and D/A converters on the market, the DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 uses channel-specific ES 9038Q2M converters instead of a single stereo D/A chipset. This virtually eliminates inter-channel interference, reduces background noise, leads to a better signal-to-noise ratio, and greater dynamic range reproduction.

Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth module

The DMP-A6 lineup supports BC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/apt HD/LDAC Bluetooth formats. You can easily connect your mobile devices, computers, and other Bluetooth-compatible audio sources to the DMP-A6 and enjoy effortless music playback.

Controlling functions with an app

In addition to the touchscreen, the device's functions can be easily controlled via a free app downloadable for Android and Apple mobile devices. A traditional remote control for basic functions is also available for €20.

Adjustable filters

You can fine-tune the device's sound by changing the settings of the D/A chip filters. The differences between the settings are subtle but worth experimenting with.

Robust mechanical construction

The mechanical construction of the DMP-A6 lineup is impressive. You won't find thin sheet metal covers or similar in this model. The device's mechanical construction is easily comparable to the construction of many competitors' devices that are several orders of magnitude more expensive.
