Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer Review

[multisport4me]

Yes, my latest is v 1.1.46

Not sure what to make of that. I clearly see an output called XLR-RCA on mine and that was a feature added to 1.1.46. Maybe try the update again or wait for 1.1.50 coming in the next couple of days.

That’s strange, check the firmware version on your unit, perhaps the update wasn’t successful.

Okay, someone suggested adding a spectrum analyzer to the DMP-A6 ala the latest Topping D70 Pro. I did a quick search of the Google Store and I found this. @mirror88 can this be loaded up as an app on the DMP-A6? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bti.sAnalyzer&hl=en_US&gl=US

UPDATE: I was able to install it but it doesn't do anything. It occured to me after I deinstalled it that Eversolo bypasses the standard Android audio driver(s) so perhaps if I disable the EOS audio engine it will work. But obviously this means Eversolo would need to implement their own spectrum analyzer or get a company like this one to build support for EOS into their APK. Good enough as a proof of concept though if I can get it to work with the standard Android audio engine.

Possible bug: When using the HDMI output of the A6 and Roon I notice that if I queue a song or sometimes even just attempt to play another song in a list, it appears the HDMI output loses sync with my AV10 when that next song starts to play. Specifically, I see the song playing in Roon, but hear no audio. This does not happen when using the HDMI output of my Roon Rock server nor does it occur when using XLR analog outputs of the A6. So I've confirmed the issue is related to the HDMI output of the A6.

Hi everyone, need some help. Anyone with the DMP-A6, would you be so kind and take a screenshot/photo of the entire display showing the album cover, track details, etc when playing a song on Apple Music?

Cheers.

Did someone say VU does not work with DSD playback? And if so, is it firmware fixable? Foobar has an output setting, DSD+PCM, which is essentially two streams, one (DSD) for the audio stream and the PCM stream for the visuals.

The Eversolo demo video shows the screen while interacting with the Apple Music app beginning at around 7:51 into the video -

I don't really use the VU meters but when I've tried them they seem to work fine with DSD.

Thank you so much! Looks like it can’t display the playing song full screen, you see the app interface most of the window. Doesn’f look nice.

I can display the playing song full screen in my Apple TV 4K, perhaps different version.

Yes, it's been mentioned before in this thread. Apple has yet to allow built in streamer integration of Apple Music aside from use of Airplay to stream it wirelessly from the app on a device. It appears that Eversolo have attempted a work around this with integration of the Apple Music Android app from Google Play in their android based OS.

Here's a link to the earlier discussion -

Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer Review

I found it and installed it. I believe its literally an Android phone app. Honestly, a bit cumbersome to install as you can't do it from the Eversolo app - I had to do it from the A6 screen. Once installed I set the Apple Music settings to lossless, etc. and yet....I still have not gotten...

I have never understood how one can become emotionally attached to electronic components, I would buy the streamer that fulfils your needs, has the features you require because as long as they send a bit perfect output ( through the same dac) they are going to sound identical.

UPDATE 2: I tried disabling EOS and the bars moved....once, then froze. It was a worth a shot.

Ah, good news. thanks! I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger every day.

Question for fellow Roon users: shouldn't I expect to see cover art/info when the A6 is connected via USB to my Roon Rock server?

I noticed improvement in sound when using z8, wider soundstage and better dynamics, a more mature presentation in one word.

Both screens look stunning

Cheers.
