That I don’t know, heatsinks would suggest an amplifier, they had been re-badging a Stark unit so perhaps something of their own design?

A-8 with bits stuck to the outside of it.

The labels says something like:

DMP A 10
Music ..../ DA?/DAC/Preamp ...
 
Looks like it says 'Music streamer DAP DAC PRE-AMP' to me and the first image suggests it is an R2R DAC as well.
Edit: or possibly 'MUSIC STREAMER DMP DAC PRE-AMP'
 
If it packs some serious CPU power,class A pre-amps,linear regulators,etc heatshinks seems to be at just the right size.
Interesting (but to me only if it has analog VC) even if I don't need a streamer,looks alone are enough (in black of course)
 
The A8 is around $2000? A10 $2500 minimum?? Probably closer to $3000.
Don't see a headphone jack on the front.
R2R dac? No thanks.
Subwoofer out would be nice.
Looks like the panel says Music Streamer- DAP-DAC- Preamp.
DAP? Internal hard drive? Digital Audio Processing?
Find out soon enough.
 
Looks like R2R..
 
Looks like R2R..
That concerns me, if it refers to the DAC (just a plea for the extreme "audiophile' audience), but the "sub-out" selection that I saw might be compelling. Do they ever refer to volume controls as R-2R?

EDIT: In reading more about the A10, I'm sure the R-2R on the volume control knob refers to a resistor ladder analogue-type of volume control and NOT to the DAC.

Can the a6 send different eq profiles to the Xlr and rca outputs? Finally found something my adi2 cannot do,literally can’t believe that’s a fact

Also does the A6 integrate well with Amazon music had like the Wiim does?
 
Your ADI can’t stream music.

I ordered one of these units yesterday but I'm going to have to wait a few weeks I'm told.
I considered ordering the Masters Edition but realized the main differences are lower noise / higher quality op amps in the analog audio circuit and higher quality femto clock oscillators...The differences was $700 here in Canada...
I looked on Digikey an Mouser and the higer quality op amps are only $12 each I'm still researching the price for the femto clock oscillators. Probably wouldn't cost more than $200-$250 total to upgrade it myself. But no way I'm paying a $700 CA upcharge for op amps and clock parts I'm not even using..
This streamer only has a 1 year warranty so it might be a modifiers dream further down the road. I like to tinker...
I really just wanted a high end streamer/server but what I wanted is way too expensive right now.
I will bypass the A6 Preamp and internal dacs anyway and hook it up to my Primaluna tube dac and tube preamp separates.
The company updated their firmware and the A6 will now accept 4TB M.2 SSD
( up from the original 2TB maximum)
The A6 also apparently allows you to rip CD's directly onto the internal M.2 SSD using an external USB CD disc drive plugged into the USB C digital input. The player has a CD ripping app software installed apparently. I can likely even plug my Cambridge Audio CXC


Transport's digital out into the SPDIF digital
do the op-amps require soldering? Have you looked at discrete op-amps from burson or sparkos?


input and rip them from there too.. Don't know ?
I'm learning a lot about the Eversolo DMP A6....I wish they made a separate Streamer/Server without the analog output section and dac circuits for the same money but with higher end parts and engineering.
I've got a feeling the noise would be gone with no analog output section. I'm surmising the Masters Edition addresses most of the broadband THD issues reported in the review.
Amir should test the upgraded Masters player...
Regardless, there still seems to be too much good stuff going on with this product to pass it up..The OS looks really promising...
Looking forward to learning it's ins and outs.....
 
It can and does with a Wiim streamer
Do you need the ADI, Wiim pro plus up are transparent built in eq etc etc.
Keith
 
A big thanks to Amir, thank you so much for your dedication and hard work!
Has anyone looked into upgrading op-amps to discrete models?
