Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer Review

[Purité Audio]

‘Upgraded power supply’ !
You have seen Amir’s measurements of the A6, if you have then you should have realised that a boutique power supply will not make the slightest difference, actually that’s not true it will have devalued the unit’s second hand value.

Or maybe should I ask
Do I need a powered USB hub to connect those devices without harming the linear power supply ?

I appreciate your input Keith
But my question still stands
Thanks

Are there High-end grade USB-hubs with High-end grade power supplies ?

But seriously: what is the power consumption of the basic item plus the USB devices in correlation to the spec of that power supply?
Simple math.

Thanks Salt
Will look into it
I use peripherals in my pc which requires a steady voltage and a powered USB helps (USB drop out)
The reason I’m asking is because there was a instance where a powered usb was needed (more then one hard drive) for the new power supply
But I’ll check the unit specs later
Thanks again

So I ended up answering myself
Yes it does
I had problems after the last update for the cd player to initialize and it was lack of power
The stock power supply didn’t have any issues

The stock power supply didn’t have any issues

Amazing, isn't it???

 

[Deleted member 64613]

Amazing, isn't it???

It’s a trade I’m willing to live with
It feels less fatiguing and more relaxing with the new power supply
Which is of curse my own subjective opinion based on my experience with the unit for almost 2 years
It’s a keeper
To each it’s own I guess …

Just curious if the DMP a6 can be controlled from a web browser?
With china tariffs coming, i figure if i ever wanted one, i better get one...do you think these will go up in price with china tariffs?
one other question...if i plan on using with my own DAC, is there any reason to buy an a6 master edition or an a8?

It understands basic comands. Described in https://music.eversolo…DMP-A6_TCP_en_v1.0.pdf

I do appreciate anyone's point of view, and learning from it is the reason why I`m here
Insults and language are not

 

[Salt]

If truth is an insult (and besides: Keith is known for not insulting anyone, except truth is interpreted personally as insult), it might be the wrong place here?
Maybe You read through some themes here first to get some 'feeling' what it is about in this forum and esp. what is the difference to others in the mainstream.
Have fun.

I have an A6 "original", and I have noticed a recent update to the iPad app that I run on my iPad Pro... note that this app appears to have been updated in the past several weeks.

The update itself seems OK, and the new layout is... different - no problem that I notice, except for the fact that about half the time, when I start the app, it immediately shuts down!

I get an app-sized blank window, for a second or two, and then poof - no app.... if this happens the first time I try to use the app on a given day, it will stay that way for as long as I care to try using it. The next day, it may work - and once it starts a day working, it will stay that way until I shut it down.

So I am getting pushed to using my [Android] phone app for controlling my DMP-A6, which works, but is not nearly as nice to use as the iPad version.

Has anyone else observed this bug?

In case someone is about to ask, I use my DMP-A6 over WiFi, accessing a file share on my Synology NAS containing lossless local music files - and have never had an issue with WiFi (vs wired) - of course, the Android version of the app on my phone has no trouble, even if the iPad one is currently being uncooperative.

Hello, simple question please answer.

I have an a6 that has a linear power supply upgrade. if this power supply is not plugged in, when i connect it to the accuphase e5000 dac, there is a hum and TISS! but if i follow the power supply and connect it again in the same way, the hum and TISS disappear! the connection is plugged from the eversolo usb to the accuphase e5000 dac 60.

Regards.

Hi. My A6 just updated the software, but I failed to note the changes involved. Can anyone supply me a link to the list of upgrades. I know room correction was one of them!

Thanks

I'm impressed by this update (v.1.4.82). Adding FIR import (e.g. from REW) and built-in room correction to the DMP-A6 is unexpected and greatly welcomed. A quick room correction test with a USB UMIK-1 connected to the top USB B on the Eversolo noticably improves detail.

I've not yet measured with REW to get objective evidence, but it's impressive for a company to give such a big firmware upgrade to their entry-level device.
