Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer Review

[Nutul]

sorry - work life gets in the way with my new setup! Yes, exactly this - if I toggle the passthrough switch between on and off (where when 'off', the volume is maxed out) the passthrough volume is about twice that as it being off - it's substantial. Granted, I'm not hugely knowledgeable in the hifi arena, but I'm pretty good at gain-staging with music gear (synths/drum machines etc), so perhaps I'm taking bad habit across with me. But yes - I'd assume that the passthrough and the full volume in the normal setting to be largely the same - this isn't the case.

Any help would be much appreciated!

So, check in the EQ settings if, perhaps, there is a flat profile active and the output gain is - again, perhaps... - set to something in the lines of -5 or -6dB (which roughly means halving the volume, you may agree...)

I think the outputs (and the inputs, IIRC) have independent volume memory, but sometimes get fooled... try to switch input, and return back to the current; and/or do the same with the output.

ETA
Also, I remember hearing about different levels on the RCA outs, depending on whether the output selected was only RCA vs RCA and XLR together. Play with that as well.

Just my 2c.
Cheers, Al.

now reached 400 bugs , which is fixed for bugs, in eversolo dmp6.
with all firmware
the question .is it dangerous ,to use beta firmware.

Much appreciated.

So there was no EQ on - I turned on the flat profile, left it on the default -5dB, and that's shaved the overdriving off that I heard in the first instance (this is with the 'Passthrough' set to 'On'). This means I can run the unit in 'Passthrough' mode without the outputs being too hot. I've not an experienced ear, but the flat EQ profile doesn't appear to colour the sound, so that's pleasing.

'Passthrough' is still double the volume of non-passthrough - I've checked the input/output to ensure it remains internal player to Analog-RCA - tried switching between sources and back, and makes no difference.

I may try a Factory reset later, but the turning on the flat EQ @-5dB has tamed the outputs for the time being, and that means I can hear 'Everything in its Right Place' without said occasional distortion!

I appreciate everyone's patience with my noob-ramblings - I haven't ruled out that I've done something terrifically stupid here, that I'll discover at a later date, but for the time being, it's running beautifully!

@aljepan the flat EQ curve does not alter the sound, because it is... ehm... flat. ;-)

I'd like to know as well? Tempted, but not ticked the extra little box yet! If you do, can you easily revert to official firmware if you just untick the Beta box?

Yes, but until an official release is available, you're stuck with the latest beta you installed...

Can someone post the new beta version of firmware 1.4.06?

Nope.
Or soon.

Good morning,

I wonder if someone can help me with this question. When we have an album in our Discotheque, it is by an artist, for example, Patti Smith. This is reflected in the tags as Artist Album. Within that album, there is a song that the artist of the album sings with a collaborator, for example, Nick Cave. This, within the tags, appears as Artist and we add both names: Patti Smith\\Nick Cave. Well, when searching within Eversolo for Nick Cave, for example, it only lists the songs in which he appears as an artist of the album, but not in those in which he appears as an artist, and I cannot find in Eversolo all the songs in which he appears. Is there a way to do this? Thank you very much and best regards!

Sorry thought there was antoher version out there that I missed and couldn't find anything on

Contemplating getting one of these, now I sent the Fiio S15 back (too darned buggy). How good is using it as preamp? I need it to drive my poweramp. I want a all in one unit same as the FiiO S15 was it worked really well as a pre just their software is just so bad I couldn't continue withit. I got that to replace using RME ADI 2 and a pc/streaming as I want more choice of apps to play and have an all in one unit for convenience. Its not clear how good the digital volume control is on the unit and how its implemented 32/64 bit? I want also to use the DSP. Am I better off going for the A8 if I need the preamp? I dont need multichannel but I do need DSP and its limited to downsample on the A8?

I find the software is generally good, though not perfect - app reconnections needed quite often after using other apps on the phone and sometimes a lag before the track info updates on the phone even though it's started playing it. I did use the pre-amp in the A6 to start with, but it seemed I had to turn the volume in my integrated up quite high to match levels from other sources, and I felt the sound was a little muddy. I switched to by-pass the A6's pre-amp and the sound quality as well as volume control improved to perfection imho (Luxman integrated amp).

Thanks but turning of the preamp isnt an option when using a dedicated poweramp unless you want to be deafend. Why would you use it with an integrated amp its never going to work having two levels of attenuation I would only use fixed for that scenario and attenuate on the amp. I need to know how it performs as a pre to a dedicated power amp really.

if have eversolo dmp 6, and really good dac.
i have gustard a22.
digital transport.
eversolo dmp 6, use to play files, to gustard a22, on coax.
gustard a22, has class a output, on 6volt.
sounds more analog.
what is your experience, dac and digital transport.
