Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer Review

[nawfal07]

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think the EverSolo DMP-A6 is the only streamer that can natively output DSD multi-channel from Roon.

Hi there. I am new here and would appreciate all kind of help from this forum. I have just purchased the DMP A6. At this moment, my setup is a Naim NAC 202 pre amplifier and a NAP 200 amplifier. I would like to connect the DMP A6 to my Naim NAP202 pre amp. Could I do this? How should I connect it? Could I connect the RCA ouput of the DMP A6 to the Naim pre amp? All help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Corrigez-moi si je me trompe, je pense que l'EverSolo DMP-A6 est le seul streamer capable de sortir nativement le multicanal DSD de Roon.

Yes, practically, reserved for a few very high end models, DOH processing chips, another advantage of this streamer in my eyes, I don't have that with Rose, thanks for the concrete illustration.

That is correct. My great fear, if you read the Roon forum, is that Zidoo/Eversolo may have to remove it in an upcoming firmware, unless I'm misunderstanding what is being said. I hope this doesn't eventuate as this feature is fantastic for those with an AVR and whom want an Oppo type 1 cable solution with HDMI and sets the A6 apart from every other streamer.

I tip my hat to Mirror and the engineers for making this a reality. Good work.

Yes, you connect it just as you would a cd player or any other line level source. It appears you have two rca inputs on that preamp , cd or aux, either will work.

Yes. Connect the RCA out to one of the inputs on your NAC. Set the volume pass through to ON in settings and control the volume on your amp.

How about if I connect from the DMP A6 RCA output to the CD input DIN socket of the NAC? Is that possible? I'm planning to get a RCA to DIN socket cable. Sorry for not making myself clear. Thank you

Update from @mirror88 :

“Thank you to the Roon team for their support. Just yesterday, we resolved all technical issues and successfully passed the Roon ready certification.There are still some marketing assets being submitted.”

Definitely possible with the right cable.

Good news. Just waiting for it to appear on the Partners page.

Hopefully no features had to be given up to meet certification (ie. Roon Multi-Channel Native DSD via HDMI). Guess the next firmware update will shall see.

To preamp or not to preamp? Currently have the ever-solo a Schiit Saga S and an Akitikka GT104 power amp, I have read on here where many say not to use the volume control on the digital side, does that logic apply here and I should keep the Saga S for volume control?

Thank you gentlemen for assisting me with the connection. Now the DMP is playing nicely on my setup. 1 more newbie question, could I connect the TV to the DMP A6 using optical input connection? Do I need to set the "volume pass through" mode to ON as what I did when using the RCA connection? Thank you

Yes, I have my tv connected to optical, you'll just have to change the input to optical to listen, same setting for volume pass through, you want the it sending out it's best/maximum signal to your preamp. The primary reasons to turn that mode off would be if you had active speakers and wanted to control the volume using from the DMP-A6 or if you had no other means of volume control in your system.

Anyone order an A6 in mid May and not receive theirs yet? I am still waiting and placed an order on May 18th.

Yay! I ordered mine May 7th from Altitudo Audio. Just received e-mail this afternoon confirming that it's shipped.

Lucky. I also ordered mine from Altitude Audio. No shipping message yet

They are ground shipping via Canpar. Mine is supposed to arrive July 5th. It's coming from Quebec, not Winnipeg. Altitudo told me it's coming directly from their distributor - Motet distributing, I think.

Interesting. Thanks for the info

How do I bypass the DMP -A6 internal Dac and use mine? Thank you for your help.

 

[Purité Audio]

Simply plug your dac into the DMPs digital outs. Ie USB

Connect your external DAC, and then switch the outputs on the A6 with the app to whatever you connected it to...
