Title: Compared with my reference and Innuous Pulse mini
Review: Heads up - this is a detailed review, first impressionsFor many years, I have used the best streamer under 1k: Sonos connect with the W4S mod, coax out to my DAC. Sound wise, there wasnt anything close under 1k. Sonos port with W4S mod - inferior, Blusound - not close. I just wanted something a bit more responsive and was dissappointed when the Sonos port sounded inferior even with the W4S mod. So with the recent releases of promising products, I bought both the Innuos Pulse mini streamer and this Eversolo DMP-A6 and compared them. There is so much you can learn from the web reviews, and from experience, there can be little info on sound quality. Example - the W4S Sonos connect has very few reviews for what was for its time, an outstanding product. (It still is). So here are my impressions:Sound quality as a streamer into an external DAC: (my primary use)SPDIF (coax out): All 3 are close. Eversolo is the best by a slight margin. Very slightly cleaner in the highs, Well balanced. Sonos is a very close #2 and I could live with this as well. Slightly brighter, a tad more dynamic. Innuos: #3 Cleaner highs than the Sonos but with the stock power supply has a layer of grunge that an external power supply removes. With an external power supply, it is a bit less clean and a bit less dynamic than the other 2. Again, these differences are slight.USB out: Eversolo and Innuos (with external power supply) are the same. with innuos stock power supply , innuos is slightly grungier, which surprised me. USB I didnt like because it was less dynamics than SPDIF coax, both units. Through USB, highs are cleaner, better sibilantsApp: Innuos and Sonos apps are the best. #1: Innuos #2: Sonos #3 distant third is eversolo app. Eversolo is hard to navigate and not that clean. Innuos app is rock solid. Eversolo app would not allow me to connect to my iphone app via the camera scan.Tidal streaming: On Sonos and Eversolo, you can use the native Tidal app, via Tidal connect. Innuos you have to use their app, which is very good anyway. Eversolo app is frustrating, so very happy to avoid.Front panel - #1: Eversolo #2: Sonos #3: InnuosBack panel: #1: Eversolo #2: Sonos #3: Innuos Main benefit is that eversolo and sonos has wifi built in.Sound with built in DAC: Did not review. I have read that the Eversolo DAC is not that good.I am going to keep the Eversolo and Innuos for a while and see how they evolve and how easy to live with. I am impressed by the rock solid Innuos - it just works and it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into it and with their app. The Eversolo by comparison is full featured and has a flovor of lets put everything in and see what sticks. I can give up all the bells and whistles on the Eversolo for a better app and their excellent sound quality. Will update after more use.Edit 1: Used a 2TB intel 670p NVMe. Works great. Amazon sells 2TB for $70, 1TB for $40 right now. I would suggest that you use an external enclosure to connect to your computer or server to transfer your music the first time. Format it in exFAT, and then transfer your music. Then move the drive to the Eversolo. I first tried it by installing it into the eversolo and transferring it via wifi. It was soooo slow. Would take about a month to transfer my music. Then did it the way I suggested and that took about a minute. Also, I noted that the CPU in the eversolo is a weak performer compared to the innuos pulse mini, about 3x slower. So anything you ask the eversolo to do that requires CPU is going to be slow. The sound quality coming from the drive is superior than streaming through Tidal. Earlier I commented that the sound from the W4S sonos connect was brighter than that from Eversolo; now the balance from the drive is the same as streaming from the Connect, but more detailed. So far, the Sound Quality is the best from the NVMe with hires sources. (I tested with a 96kHz 24 bit track vs Tidal MQA).Edit2: Spent some time comparing USB vs SPDIF output. For those who are unaware, SPDIF output takes the audio digital signal and clocks it using onboard crystal oscillators to your external DAC. The external DAC uses the clock from your device (DMP A6) as the master clock. USB just sends the digital signal via an asynchronous format to your DAC. Your DAC then reclocks it with onboard crystal oscillators before doing the conversion to analog. So which sounds better will depend a lot on whether the clocks on the DMP A6 vs your DAC. The master edition of the DMP A6 supposedly has better clocks so SPDIF should sound better, whereas the USB should be the same. That said, my DAC has a pretty decent USB conversion, at least as good as the DMP A6. I used the highest quality digital signal from my NVMe for comparison and went from USB to SPDIF everything else the same to my DAC. My conclusion is that the USB output is cleaner, but I didnt always prefer the USB out. The biggest different was the soundstage. The SPDIF was up front, immediate and more exciting, whereas the USB out was further away. For pop, I generally preferred the SPDIF, whereas for classical, I preferred the USB because everything was cleaner, more precise. If you have a cheaper DAC, you probably would prefer the SPDIF. I tried it on a cheaper DAC and I preferred the SPDIF. So it all depends on your preference and the quality of the USB clocking on your DAC vs the DMP A6.

Title: Comparing DMP-A6 Masters Edition to the excellent Eversolo DMP-A8
Review: Before the DMP-A8, I first purchased the Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition and found the sound to be bright, analytical, borderline harsh, compressed, and thin...basically not realistic or natural like my existing sources. Many have written about these traits and I confirmed this in my use. With the DMP-A6 ME thru my Ayon Audio Spirit III Class A tube amp, Ayon Audio Triton, CA Edge A, and Legacy Audio speakers I experienced the first time these amps sounded bright and fatiguing. Even the WiiM Pro Plus using fixed volume with its economy design and lower end AKM DAC sounded more open, airy, more warm, and more realistic in blind AB comparison, and at 1/5 the price. My intended use is as an all in one unit utilizing both single ended and XLR analog outputs with good volume control being important so I can drive power amps directly.I tested the DMP-A6 ME thru multiple different integrated amps and directly driving power amps including with fixed volume and all the filters. The best results were thru a Anthem Statement A2 power amp with Slow Roll-off DAC filter, which was still bright sounding but not as fatiguing as the other more accurate amps. Also remember there is an EQ where the treble can be trimmed but I am a believer in testing flat to see how the unit really sounds.As I really liked the software, interface, and quality I decided I would give Eversolo another try so I purchased the DMP-A8 with time to compare them side by side before the return window was up. The high end feature set in this A8 is very good and the difference in sound thru the A8 was immediate and overwhelmingly better with a very full, detailed, warm, and natural sound having better highs, extended bass, and a natural textured midrange. Yes there is a large price difference but those who say these two units sound similar must not have adequate amps and speakers, as it is night and day difference between these two units...think 1990's digital verses analog.The A8 sound was very full and all encompassing with a wide and deep soundstage and the micro details were exceeding many other high end DAC's I own and have tried...all without being too bright or glared over and still while providing that warm textured midrange timbre that is so important. Though the A8 is not the very best combination I have heard, it is 95% there and certainly at the best price. I have no doubt this AKM Velvet Sound Veritas combination is a lot of the difference over the ESS DAC's in the DMP-A6 ME. Either way, there was not one setup (including in my sound treated near anechoic home theater) where the A8 did not trump the A6...and yes it is much more expensive but given the many features, excellent DAC, digital side DSP, Linear Power supply, analog inputs, and very good preamp using r2r volume control it is worth the money. If you do not have the budget there are other options (including anything from Cambridge Audio and even the low cost WiiM Pro Plus) that sound more natural without the glare. If you like a more etched, detailed, bright sound the A6 might be for you but if you have bright sounding speakers, look out.I think the extended range, immediacy, sound decay, and naturalness of an accurate Class A tube amplifier really shows the weaknesses of the DMP-A6 ME and the strengths of the DMP-A8 as Class D amplifiers, like so many persons are using now, haze over the frequency extremes and retract the midrange (I tested a Rotel Class D power amp as well). Furthermore, the DMP-A8 destroys the A6 ME in the quality manner in which it smooths out old recordings like the classic Jazz and 1980's rock...old Rolling Stones albums sound really good. A great test of how well the upper, middle, and lower frequencies can be handled by the DMP-A8 verses the A6 is Wynton Marsalis's Unforgivable Blackness...which is a masterpiece that is very well recorded.The downside of this A8 is that it is Chi-Fi so reliability could very well be an issue but looking at the components and high quality and intelligent layout of the circuit board...I hope I am wrong as the warranty of 1 year for a component at this cost shows little confidence from Eversolo. Either way, I am keeping the A8 and have returned the A6 ME, but I will be sure to buy an extended warranty for at least 3 years and I will certainly come back with comments if it fails.

Review: My current reference DAC cost 25 times this EverSolo device. Is it better? Yes! Is it $24K better? That's a tough call.I have been waiting for this device to arrive for months, and it was worth the wait. It arrived in great packaging, double-boxed, nestled in a drawstring bag in a foam cutout. Simple Get Started guide included. So, I unpacked and admired it, then connected to my pre-amp via high-end RCA cables, downloaded the EverSolo app, connected it to Tidal and Qobuz, selected a mix to listen to, and sat back to hear....nothing. It took some digging through the online user guide to find out how to switch output from the default XLRs to RCAs, but then it worked, and worked well. There's lots of features on the device, including cool VU Meter displays (brings back memories), but what matters is the functionality of the device and the sound quality.Functionality first. The menu on the large screen is easy to work with, and even easier with the well-designed app. I was searching for music and enjoying it within five minutes, and a few weeks later I am still playing around with the options, like DAC personality! Part of the fun! As for sound, it is remarkably good. Near my reference quality. A/B testing revealed a very very slight lack of impact on transients, and a lack of "slam" on tracks with fast attacks, but this is minor and noticeable only if you are used to a high-end DAC.The design is fully balanced, with individual circuitry for left and right channels (multiple DACs). Overall, I am delighted with this EverSolo streamer. It is installed in my second system, and is a joy to work with. I love this device and can't recommend it enough. And that's from a dyed-in-the-wool audiophile with six or seven high-end DACs in my music racks! A bargain!

Review: In these days of prices inflated to 'what the punter is prepared to afford' you can't really say this is a cheap high class streamer. However it takes the cheaper and slightly cheaper streamers and blows them into the weeds.....particularly in the field of the control software, which is both intuitive and attractive. As we have also seen - from the guys with the pin sharp hearing and discernment - it also sounds great too. Having used a half decent £1500 streaming home cinema receiver for a couple of years I wasn't prepared for any real discernible hike in sound quality......Emperor's new clothes etc. I bought the A6 for the control software (mostly). However, there is no question about how musical this sounds in comparison to the Denon. Listening to music is now listed as one of my hobbies again. I really can't stress this enough - it's been a life-changer. Coupled with the (unique?) easy plug and play SSD facility, this has proved to be a very wise purchase indeed. Just wish I could have afforded the A8!

Review: From other reviews I read online and watched on YouTube, I decided to pull the trigger on this streamer fully intending to only replace my current network streamer. I had separates for literally everything in my audio chain. I tested this in three configurations to see its full potential against my separates and this thing really blew me away. Using it purely as a streamer going in to my Denafrips Pontus ii via i2s connection, it was noticeably better than my bluesound node which is modified with a linear power supply but I wouldn’t say justifies the price difference. Using it as an all in one streamer/dac/preamp, the difference in price was definitely justified as the sound was wider, more precise in imaging and had improved dynamic range. When I used this as a streamer/Dac going in to my Schiit Freya+, my jaw dropped and I was like a kid getting a new toy at Christmas. Soundstage, dynamics, and imaging were all just mind blowing. I see why Eversolo has made such a name for themselves in such a short time. The internal Dac embarrassed my former Dac that is 2/3 the price of this unit and streamer performance is rock solid with capabilities for bit perfect network streams. The hdmi arc means I don’t have to compromise on audio from my tv which was a major selling point for me. If you are on the fence about this unit, I will say it’s worth every penny.
