Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer Review

[Gremlins]

"Squeeze Connect" for LMS has been released for these.

I cannot find it on google store

Any other apps?

EQ already in the new ‘alpha’ firmware, general release soon.

What kind of EQ? normal EQ or parametric EQ?

What kind of EQ? normal EQ or parametric EQ?

The Alpha release is explained in this post. The way I understand EQ is only for the internal player at the moment. I guess the hard drive? And not streaming through the ethernet port?

That's really cool . It says 10 band(or may be little less in final version)PEQ as well ..

I saw it on Squeeze box forum:

Eversolo DMP-A6 support? - Squeezebox : Community : Forums

Hi there, A new streamer named Eversolo DMP-A6 is running some sort of Android underneath and supports installation of 3rd party applications with APK-files. I wonder if this means that the device could somehow support our eco system? With kind regards, Claus

I could use the spdif out to feed Hypex fusion amps ... but i need to know BEFORE i try f the knob controls the volume

So any software updates is automatically proposed by the A6?

When will be the EQ update available?


Also, i wonder why we have only 4 VU meters options available? Getting 15 of them would be nice from eversolo, does it tale hard work to design and implement?

Volume control works with usb-output, if output is not on "fixed".
should be same with other digital output, but no warranty.

Finally got this. Everything seems good outputting to an external DAC via USB, but importing/scanning music seems to take forever and that is with a 2TB NVMe SSD.

Thanks ... i just need confirmation
I canot jist try and blow speakers out of volume canot be adjusted

 

[Salt]

For testing You can downgrade amp output at hypex amp dsp, oh?

Some TB needs some TIME...

Mine scanned my 2 TB SSD in about 5 minutes IIRC. Very fast.

I thought it should be fast. I don't know what the deal was. Perhaps my tagging and cover art embeds were too elaborate? I also noticed that the phone app often lags quite a bit.

 

[Spyerx]

The EQ contains a 10 band regular EQ and a Parametric EQ that is very customizable.

You can setup individual profiles for different outputs.

It seems to work well.

It worked on these sources for me: internal SSD, AirPlay, Sirius XM side loaded app, Apple Music side loaded app, Qobuz.

 

[Mariano Rena]

The parametric EQ is great, now I can correct the non-linearity of the speakers!!!
I had added a ribbon and it screamed too loud (I don't put non-inductive equalization resistors in series, it distorts the sound).

Spyerx ,
how does Sirius Xm sound , what’s the bit rate you’re able to get ?
16/44.1 or lower ?

thanks

During the development of our hybrid queue, we realized we might encounter the most complex user experience task in this field, which has never been seen before. Because the A6 needs to handle various inputs and outputs, supporting third-party apps, and not all integrated services can utilize it (depending on different API characteristics), so there's a certain learning curve associated with this feature. The experience and presentation related to the Hybrid Queue functionality built into this version are the result of over a dozen modifications internally. This is the best we can achieve. Currently supported services include:Local Track/TIDAL/Qobuz/HIGHRESAUDIO/Deezer/Netease. When a third-party app is playing or the output source is not from the internal player, the playback queue remains inactive. Pressing "PLAY NEXT" often confuses users because it appears to do nothing visibly, you can't see the current playback queue. Therefore, we added the option "PLAY NOW." Unlike other players, this option doesn't replace the current queue but simply adds the current track to the top of the queue and starts playing immediately. We will also include a PLAY Queue Button located in the bottom right corner of the Control App.



The EQ function is only available when the input source is the internal player and is effective only for stereo PCM with a sampling rate lower than 192 kHz. All stereo audio with a sampling rate higher than 192 kHz or all multi-channel or DSD audio will bypass output. Of course, as some of you may want, a global bypass will also be an option. As we sincerely hope to offer users with more choices, so instead of a simple global EQ function, we configured different curves for different output setups using profile settings. This inevitably brings some learning costs. But I believe you'll figure it out quickly. Currently, it features a 15-band GEQ and a 10-band PEQ (Freq/GAIN/Q) that can be customized. While we've tested its stability, there might be a reduction in the number of bands in the final version to lighten the CPU load. This is why this version is labeled as Alpha.

And the Control APP for Android tablet coming soon.

And the Control APP for Android tablet coming soon.

Then, once this all is over, we (poor, miserable only-dac users) might possibly get the new VUs and maybe EQs on the DAC-Z6/Z8 too, couldn't we...? After all nobody cares about us since about april this year... ;-)
Really, we would be extremely thankful to receive these as a Xmas gift from the dev-team...

Kind regards, Al.

Z6/Z8 will get the new VUs soon but have no EQ support. Sorry but the product attributes of DAC determine that its update frequency will not be too fast

Spyerx ,
how does Sirius Xm sound , what’s the bit rate you’re able to get ?
16/44.1 or lower ?

thanks

Whatever their "max" setting is, which is suspect is at best 320 or 256. I'll have to check what the device shows the bitrate as, I'm not sure.

It's not hifi but ok for background music. It probably sounds a little soft, but not muffled when compared to CD sources.

So, Sirius changed their app. It's ... different. Anyway, the screen layout makes it impossible to access the "..." to change the bitrate settings (it's covered by the toolbar on the screen). But, it seems to hold settings from your account and I have it set to max on my iPhone. I know its not the mid or low as I can hear those, they sound like crap.
