So true

Was it no good or why back to shop?

@@MrBiggmartin The device itself is brilliant. It’s the app… if you use Tidal connect ther’s no way to control the volume (or am I missing something?) so you need the app running in the background anyway. Also if I’m listening to the music and trying to go back couple of seconds using track progerss slider it isn’t working. Same from the display. I’m using wired connection. Tried on Wifi same story. If using Tidal integrated into app you can’t use search engine to search for the track from your favourites. It only works as a general search for the whole Tidal library. I’m still playing with it but can’t find solutions. Last thing I was told that it uses ir to pair with remote. No it uses bluetooth so I can’t paiymy Logitech Harmony so if you want to use it as a preamp you need the app all the time.

Why?

​@@mmmdddd4358I use Roon with mine and have none of those little issues... Run both Tidal and Qobuz plus CD rips with integrated management in the Roon UI.

What is the reason you purchased the Eversolo, while most of its functionality is built in the M10 already?

@@laurensvandenbroek1580 Hello As I noted on my comment above, yes I have the Eversolo DMP-A6 connected to a NAD M10v2 integrated amplifier/ streamer through the single-ended RCA output and also through the digital COAX output. However, the main reason for me getting the Eversolo DMP-A6 was to connect it to a Lake People G108 headphone amplifier, a well regarded HP amp. Initially I was planning on getting the NAIM Unity Atom HP amplifier edition. However, once I learned about the Lake People G108 and its superb sound quality and value for money as a headphone amp I decided to get the Eversolo DMP-A6 to use it with the G108 and I’m very satisfied with the results…. extremely pleased with the sound quality coming through my headphones from the Eversolo DMP-A6/Lake People G108 combo. These two devices are connected through the balanced XLR output/input. By the way, I’m also very happy with the NAD M10v2 integrated amp/streamer (using Bluesound’s BLUE OS streamer SW) as the hub for my audio/video system in the living room. Both the BLUE OS and Eversolo streamers are very competent and both have weaknesses and strengths. I find the BLUE OS streamer has a lot more functionality (like the subwoofer management function for example) while the Eversolo streamer management “skills” are superior (more coherent in design).

Me too!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for sharing

Out of curiousity: why would you buy a product with a built-in DAC as you have the TT2 already, ie., wouldn't a dedicated streamer make more sense?

@@Kah0ona my guess is this person wants the screen. Because I would love a streamer with no dac with screen and the ability to mirror to a Tv. Pulse let’s be honest dacs are constantly upgrading. Personally I don’t feel that they surpass cds yet even with their higher bit rate. But that’s because cds had three decades to refine the sound. Dacs will get there. Now full transparency I don’t own a $10000.00 dac. But my system is somewhere in the $40000.00 range. I’m not bragging sincerely as it’s the hobby that I have sunk most of my money in. And most of my kids are grown, so I was finally able to sink money into something I wanted.

This is an excellent decision because it's the streeming part is the star and not the build in dac

I would also love to see a 'streamer only transport' from Eversolo, it's a pity to pay for the internal DAC if you use a superior external DAC all the time.

My pleasure

Thanks for sharing

I have the Eversolo DMP A6 and never had a problem with it, sounds good too.

Thanks 👍

Much appreciated!

Coming soon

Glad you think so!

대단히 감사합니다.

Thank you too!

Hi Julian: Could you let me know where you purchased the Masters Edition? I am looking for a seller here in the US. Thanks Hot Rod 😊

Summit Audio. Owner’s name is Amir. Canadian internet direct seller. I’m extremely happy with the Eversolo so far. Excellent as both a streamer and dac.

Thank you too!

I have tried to get a review sample. No dice. Sorry.

You mean the reclocker plus Gustard, of course.

Yes input into Gustard via usb silver cable and ifi ipurifier usb3.

Thanks

Hi John: Could you mention where you purchased your EverSolo Master Edition? I am looking for a seller here in the US. Thanks, Hot Rod

Summit

Summit Audio Canada. I ordered mine 6 weeks prior to all the reviews coming out.

I picked the master edition for my system, which is about $20,000. Have not tested the two streamers side by side but I would suppose the difference is not huge. I would say it probably depends on the level of your overall system and budget as to whether the difference is worth it to you. I didn't want to save $400 and later decide I should not have skimped... I would guess it would probably take a $10,000 plus system to hear much difference between the two eversolos. Hope that helps.

@@toddt5562 Good catch, my completed system is almost exactly $10,000 but it is resolving enough to hear the differences between any changes. Even cable changes spring out. Also I think in general an upgraded clock for a reasonable price is almost always a good investment for streaming systems.

As said, I don't know.

accusillicon clocks are 50 bucks each

Thanks Hanz. You're the best at laying this all out, so that a simple man can get it figured out and I appreciate it very much. Good review sir.

I will try, but please be patient.

@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Absolutely dude. I'm old and don't get jack done. Comparatively speaking, your a track star.😁

Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing

I ha ve no experience with your PC, so I van't say for sure. But it is my guess that the Eversolo will sound better than your PC but yet not up to the quality of your DAC. I would look at streamers like those by Auralic.

My pleasure

A cheaper way it to use an AudioQuest DragonFly or equal, connect it to the USB DAC output via a short cable and have it lying next to the Eversolo.

takk til deg også

Thanks a lot!, Hans

I wouldn't. I'll soon put a video with my opinions on the internet trend of adding a DAC to streamers with built-in DAC's.

I have no experience with the SR8015. so I can't say.

I'll come back to your question in a later video. There is no quick answer.

I heard denafrips is about to release their own streamer !

Fair enough!

Might want to watch Tharbamar's review first

Nope

Hoe check je welke samba versie hij heeft?

I'm in the USA and I got my master edition from summit Hi-Fi in Toronto. Ordered online.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel - Thanks Hans.

The Manu MKIII Farad I use is, of course a bridge and not a streamer. But judging on the sound quality only I clearly prefer the Magna over the Eversolo Master Edition. But it has a great user interface, works great, has a very good DAC built in and a very good app for about the same money. It's comparing lemons and peaches.

I have not tried the HDMI and I have no experience with your receiver. Why don't you try?

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel thank you - I will get the Eversolo on Wednesday - will try but I also bought RCA cable.

Sorry but no, the Eversolo has no recording facilities. You will have to use your computer to do that.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel thanks hans for your responce!

I didn’t review the standard version so I can’t say.

It's been too long to remember the 368 performance.. Sorry.

If only….

I have not reviewed the Linn so I can't say.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Okey, but im interested of the dmp master edition, but is it s better streamer than the Node 130, whats the biggest differens :)

I make reviews so that I don't have to tell every one personally how good a product is. If you watch my videos closely, you must be able to make up your own mind.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Obrigado!

Of course not. Why else would people buy true high-end preamps. People with. money aren't idiots in general. Having aid that, for its price it has a good preamp.

Yes, absolutely

No, digital volume control nowadays can even be better than analog ones.

Yes, you could choose between *.wav and *.flac for ripping. Not every USB Drive works. I guess cause of drawn juice. But some report about some issues with booklet and cd informationen in folder management.

Thanks for sharing

My colleague John Darko has a comparison video on line: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ppOjg5iizL7KlIE.htmlsi=cnQ2ZZwAYSWqQPz-

Yes, absolutely

I had no time to find out or redo it.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel but I'm guessing it's a glitch in the video, not something on the Eversolo's screen itself?

I really don't know. But thanks for sharing.

You don’t want it

No it hasn't. You can only use it for surround of you use it with an surround receiver.

Reconstruction filters are part of the digital to analog conversion so play no role when you use the digital outputs.

Thanks @@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel

what do you mean with replay gain? It has a volume control that can be controlled from the front or in the Eversolo and Roon apps

​@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel When I rip CDs to flac, I use replaygain (normalisation) so all tracks are same volume on playback. Neutron Player has reads this level from the tracks id tag data. The actual files are still the original levels, so if played on a unit without replaygain function, the levels are up and down. Not a problem with playing an album, but I play all 23000 tracks on my drive with shuffle. Many thanks, Tony.

Working on it.... Will take a few weeks though

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Oh you are... how wonderful... Thank you!

There is a clear difference between the standard and ME when you use the SODIF output (which is the best way to connect a DAC on it). It uses superior clock crystals and they only have effect on SPDIF, not on USB. USB2 or USB3 are equal for audio since Audio Class 2 uses the same mode on bot USB2 and 3. In some cases there might be more pollution on the USB3 but, I have heard.

I will review the Aries G2.2 but it is in a different class than the DMP-A6. I have owned the original Aries G2.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Great. I’m looking forward to it 👍🏼

Especially SPDIF is clearly better on the Master Edition.

It can't output over Bluetooth so you need to connect over wire.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Thanks! That much about high-end wireless speakers and moving from classic set-up to wireless (aka modern)...

I'll have a video on the use of external DACs soon

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Im lookin forward to that, I love your Channel

That depends on you and your stereo. I have chosen the Master Edition

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Just doing a bit of research now, the consensus seems to be to go with the Master Edition.

@@Rascallucci if you can afford the additional cost I’d wait for the dmp a8 which has the latest AKM chipset that has a warmer profile as opposed to the ESS chip in the a6 series.

The MiniDSP Studio is a good choice

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel so ddc should be the last piece of investment after having an endgame dac and streamer?

If you buy the best streamer, you don’t need a ddc isn’t needed. See my setup 1a

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel can I incorporate dirac live in my roon core and then just use an off market streamer as roon endpoint?

Sure. It by the way is not an Apple format but just MPEG4

🙏

Watch my review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hth7edl4ubzRmYE.htmlsi=xHUtxUFoMhHFqkwo

If you want a good streamer for a Pontus 2, the WiiM pro isn't the best choice.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannelwill you please advise me, thank you! I am aware of Denafrips is coming out with there own streamer, soon available, as reported by Alvin from Vinshine Audio. But it is yet to be ready for home use because of limited software availability.

It's a very good product. Perhaps I didn't have my day?

The Eversolo is a more balanced solution

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Hi Hans, thanks for the repy. I wanted to inform you that, after extensive testing, I have chosen for the Chord Qutest DAC in combination with the WiiM streamer. The sound balance, presentation and overall vividness of the music was just better compared to the DAC of the eversolo. Might be interesting for you to hear the difference as well :) Kind regards Dennis

RCA to RCA is fine.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel thanks

There can be an improvement if you a good DAC between € 1000 and € 2000

Kanto tuks

I don’t know your speakers. But if they have amplifiers built in, you can.

ja

Eversolo ME and save for the Beatechnik linear power supply

The digital 'pre-amp' is more a function than a separate circuit. The quality is equal to 'direct out'.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel tx

Enjoy the music.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Well! I just took delivery of the Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition this morning. So far, I am really liking it. I need to spend a little more time with it as it was just delivered this morning and I spent most of this afternoon tinkering around with it. I also installed a 4 TB SSD in it. So far I've played a couple of CDs using a Pioneer Elite DV-79AVI through the optical input on the DMP-A6. It did sound very clean and detailed. Tom Englund's voice came out clear on Evergrey's latest one that I tried out ("A Heartless Portrait") I have also queued up a couple of internet radio stations and was really impressed with how good they sounded, despite being compressed audio being streamed, especially Prog Palace Radio with uses a 320kbps stream. I just wish the damn thing would display the track and artist info like my Pioneer Elite N-50 did for internet radio stations. There were a few times I've heard something and I was like "Who is that? That is AWESOME!". Oh well, at least Shazam on my Apple watch does a good job at identifying tracks. At least this DMP-A6 has a MUCH nicer display than that postage stamp sized display on the N-50, though. I've added my digital music library consisting of over 19,000 tracks! I've tried a few FLAC/lossless tracks to see how they sound. For example, the album "The Beast Within" by prog metal act AmartiA sounds extremely clean and detailed on my setup through the DMP-A6. It gives me goosebumps listening to that like this! My initial impressions of the DMP-A6 are extremely good! Yeah, my music tastes are very heavy into the power and progressive heavy metal. I also got quite the collection of classical recordings as well, so I will have to bust some of that out and listen on this device! I absolutely CANNOT stand hip-hop or rap, so I refuse to listen to any of that. Also to add, yeah, the VU meters are pretty cool (people say those are not even "true" VU meters), but I'd love it if they had a spectrum analyzer display as well. Since this is basically a customized android setup, I wonder how difficult it would be to mod/hack it to include a spectrum analyzer display instead of the VU meters.

I have heard it does. But I don’t have a subscription so I can’t confirm.

it does...I've used it for a couple weeks. You have to go into the apple music settings in the built in app and change that. EDIT: It defaults to standard CD Quality, but you can change the "music quality" setting to be hi res lossless.

Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

How does it perform as player only when connected to external DAC .

That is terrific. I wish other streamers could do that. I have the Evo 150 and all I get is AAC files.

You can use Facebook DM. But there really is no need. I am healthier than I have been in years.

No, you need a separate DAC and netwerk player.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Can you shed any info on the eversolo engine and pass through Should they be on if usin a external DAC etc ? Thanks

I'm a roon user and I just got the master edition DMP-A6. I've only had one listen but in terms of your question. I rather like having the screen on the unit as opposed to nothing. It's an elegant looking piece of kit at a more than reasonable price. I output to a holo-audio May dac kte. Obviously early days in my evaluation but I'm hoping it will be good enough that I don't need to spend more money.

To each its own.

I can make miracles work but not wonders.😁

In Roon open Settings -> Audio and add the DMP-A6 to the active Roon endpoints.

Thanks for the suggestion Hans. Yes, I already have enabled the DMP A-6 as a Roon endpoint under Settings-> Audio.

It is unclear if it's a Roon issue or an Eversolo issue.

To have MQA function correctly software volume control, like volume leveling and any DSP function should be switched off in Roon. It works fine here, so it should work with you too.

Thanks Hans. I have verified all settings in the Roon core and in the eversolo are correct. On the Eversolo I had the fixed sampling rate at 192 kHz. This is only used when playing tidal through the Eversolo app. Think that's what confused me at first.

I have not reviewed the Cocktail audio N25 DAC so I don't know
