Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer Review

[yllanos]

Hi fellows
A quick question for the owners of the dmp-A6.
I’ve seen you have now a fft analog spectrum, but on every photo, it starts at 50hz (as the one of the preamp topping a70 pro btw)… Looks too high for my taste, even if it’s just a cosmetic feature.
I would like to know if it can be modified, to a 20hz-20khz range for example.
And if not, why do they all start @50hz? Technical reasons ?
Cheers

It cannot be modified. I'd like the same as well

 

[ubiq]

Ok… thanx.
That confirms my thought. Too bad :-/
I don’t get it: threshold of 50hz seems so archaic.

Hi everyone, I would like to point out an oddity that I found when playing an MQA file: in the test I did I used the same song and, in the device settings on Roon, the options activated are the same; in the photo on the left the signal path between Roon server, Pi4 with Volumio+Roon extension connected via USB to DMP-A8, in the second photo Roon server connected directly to the internal reader of the DMP-A6. While with DMP-A8 the signal path seems to be regular since there is no intervention of the Roon software other than authentication, I don't understand why with DMP-A6 the MQA signal is processed by Roon. Do I need to change some settings or is it a software bug?

The A-6 is Roon ready the A-8 is not, if you haven’t already compare the ‘device settings’ in a roon.

I know that dmp-a8 is not roon ready, but what makes me strange is that dmp-a6 indicates an "enhanced" signal and not "loseless"

That is very clever from the A6: indeed an MQA stream IS NOT lossless. It might (IMHO) not even be enhanced; but enhanced has many meanings when it comes to audio, so I would give it an A+ to the Eversolo.

a friend of mine got this strimer and going to the equalizer section I saw that it also has signal balancing which many people told me wasn't there, did they add it recently?

 

[octavius]

Yes it was added in last firmware with all EQ features...

 

[Akary]

the channel balance is on both versions, is there no difference on a software level from the normal version to the master version?

What is the change log for beta 1.2.64?

What is the change log for beta 1.2.64?

It's a beta, so there won't likely be an official change log. I think they only publish them for full releases.

What is the change log for beta 1.2.64?

Good afternoon. Give me a link to the firmware, I don’t see updates for the device, even beta

My understanding is that Beta releases are not released through the device update mechanism, meaning you need to download the .zip file and manually trigger the update at your own risk.

Yes, I visited, but I don’t see any topics there with links to new firmware

 

[Purité Audio]

Usually discussed separately in the A-6 and A-8 sub sections.

New version 1.2.50/1.2.80 for DMP-A6/DMP-A8 release

No new beta for that yet that I can find

 

[Akary]

if you connect it to the TV with the HDMI output will the lyrics of the song also be displayed or is it just a replica of the display?

No, DMP-A6 produces only a blue screen. HDMI out is here audio only.
