A cut diamond.
The Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 is a further development of the original DMP-A6 Master Edition streamer. New features include a linear power supply, Retina-level high-definition display and HDMI ARC connection. The Master Edition is a clear leap in sound quality from the basic A6.
The mechanical quality of the device is impressive, and the usability of the DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 is excellent, but both of these would be secondary if the sound quality were not up to par. Whether we are talking about measured performance or subjective opinion, the DMP-A6 series represents the absolute top of its class.
Eversolo is a manufacturer that many people in Finland had not heard of until a moment ago, but Eversolo's parent company Zidoo may be more familiar. Either way, Eversolo's products have won numerous "best in class" mentions in a short time in the international press and online publications. Eversolo's products are very aggressively priced and it is difficult to name competitors that would offer comparable performance and mechanical quality at the same price point. In addition, the software of Eversolo's products is really polished and functional, and the manufacturer listens attentively to market feedback and wishes and releases updates at a steady pace.
The result of long development work
The Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 is the result of a long development process that has sought to take into account the pros and cons of several network players on the market and create a product that combines as many positive aspects as possible with minimal shortcomings, without escaping the stratospheric price range. The DMP-A6 Master Edition features a quad-core processor and large memory capacity that are optimized for music playback. Numerous digital inputs and outputs, multi-channel DSD HDMI output, dual ESS9038Q2M professional-grade D/A chipsets, a fully balanced structure and impressive mechanical quality produce a result that has led to the best result in its class in the opinion of several publications. All this is reinforced with an ultra-quiet linear power supply, which improves performance even further. HDMI ARC allows you to connect a TV to the Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2, thus turning the streamer into 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 SC limitations, enabling bit-accurate audio playback from 3rd party applications - e.g. Apple Music hi-res direct output.
EVC volume control for digital output
EVC, or Eversolo Volume Control, uses a unique algorithm that ensures that the signal waveform remains as original as possible when the volume of the digital input is adjusted. This is a great joy for all DSP speaker users, as this means that the DA conversion of the streamer and the AD conversion of the speakers can be omitted, the signal is fed to the speakers at the desired volume as digital and it remains as clean as possible without additional conversions.
Online music services
The DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 offers comprehensive support for the most popular music streaming services on the internet, such as Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, etc. Thanks to continuous development, new services are added at regular intervals based on user feedback.
Extensive 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/multichannel and MQA, etc.
Large LCD touch screen
The Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen 2 is equipped with a large 6-inch Retina high-resolution touchscreen. The DMP-A6's simple yet elegant user interface makes controlling settings, your music library, and third-party apps easy and effortless. It works 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), it also provides high-resolution separate clock for HDMI. This allows it to be used as a digital turntable.
Internal high-speed M.2 SSD storage slot
The M.2 NVME 3.0 2280 SSD slot allows for fast mass storage installation without removing the cover. The maximum storage capacity is 4 TB. A fast, stable and silent solution - the key to local high-quality 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 extra mains hum from the outputs of this device or from the power supply itself mechanically. All this results in a blacker background from which the details of the music 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 interfaces. 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 precise signal processing.
Fully balanced preamp
The DMP-A6 series' signal chain is fully balanced from the D/A chipset to the XLR and RCA outputs, ensuring improved signal-to-noise ratio and channel separation.
Channel-specific ES 9038Q2M D/A circuits.
Unlike many other network repeaters and D/A converters on the market, the DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 utilizes channel-specific ES 9038Q2M converters instead of a single stereo D/A chipset. This virtually eliminates crosstalk between channels, reduces background noise, and results in better signal-to-noise ratio and greater dynamic range.
Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth module
The DMP-A6 series supports BC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/apt HD/LDAC Bluetooth formats. You can easily connect your mobile device, computer and other Bluetooth-compatible audio sources to the DMP-A6 and enjoy hassle-free music playback.
Controlling functions with the application
In addition to the touchscreen, the device's functions can be easily controlled via a free app 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 sound of the device by changing the settings of the D/A circuits' filters. The differences between the different settings are subtle, but worth experimenting with.
Robust mechanical structure
The mechanical construction of the DMP-A6 series is impressive. You won't find thin metal covers or the like on this model. The mechanical construction of the device is easily comparable to that of many competitors' devices that are several orders of magnitude more expensive.
