[amrutmhatre90]

could anyone kindly let me know please? thank you

I don’t think so you can do it

that's very unfortunate for my use case :/ thank you for answering me though!

GAPLESS

When you read your Flac files, you can listen continuously (gapless) ?
JRiver offers this option but not found on the A6

Cheers
Alain

"out" or "in" ?

In, the both is ok
Out, I don't know because I returned my A6 to audiophonics.
I don't like that the sound is cut off when leaving an entry to return to streaming (this forces you to return to the menu).

I'm going to ask your question to a friend who has an A6.
I imagine you ask the question before buying one, otherwise you would have tried
Best regards
Alain

Salut Alain, and thank you yes, both outputs at the same time

i really would appreciate it if your friend could check indeed, would be very kind of you both

Out of curiosity, what is the use case where you need two digital outputs active at the same time?

I believe they are fed simultaneously as there is only a single "SPDIF"output selection that identifies both, of course the SPDIF output selection is only available when Internal Player is the selected input source.

 

[Monosauras]

@mirror88 That is great news , and the deciding factor for not returning the unit back to the vendor.

A few more AIRPLAY bugs to report , The Cambridge CXN V2 in comparison does not exhibit the same behavior as below during Airplay

* Apple Music pauses when making or receiving calls.
* Apple music pauses when opening certain apps simultaneously on iphone eg Decibel Meter.
* Apps like instagram which have sound will also play simultaneously when opened on the phone during Airplay playback.

Do you think there is a chance Airplay Lip Sync issue can be resolved via an update or that is just not possible?
Thank you so much

This is because it doesn't have Airplay 2 yet, only Airplay 1. You'll see they silently removed mention of AP2 on their official page. Hopefully it will be added in soon, and hopefully the company have learnt not to advertise features that aren't going to be ready for a while as though they currently are.

well, i wanted to feed active speakers with the coax out and use the toslink output to go into a miniDSP 2x4 for subwoofer integration.
If there is any other way (/better) to achieve this, I'm listening

I want to be able to use the internal player, but also another source as digital input (via USB)

I saw earlier that the VU meters only work with the analog out when it’s outputting beyond a certain dB output.

The VU meter doesn’t really mean very much in this context, so I would think it’s more of an audio visualization than anything serious.

Is that still the case, and can Eversolo, @mirror88 , add in a normalized/dB ceiling setting so that the VU meters can be “used” at lower volumes?

It's not just the analog outs, also the digital outs - each have their own volume control settings. I believe it's already on the list for the next update.

We are in order on this functionality of a visualization of a replica of a vu-meter, only two brands offer this Hi-Fi Rose and Eversolo on the audio network player market, if someone has an Eversolo and a Yamaha 1200-2200 or 3200 type amp which has real VU meters, I will ask a friend who has one, when he returns from vacation to compare, since I have a Rose I will see if it is the same between the two devices (DMP and Rose)....

I have a Yamaha A-S1100 with meters, but I'm not really understanding what you are asking for or suggesting to compare ?

You connect your DMP in analog to your Yamaha 1100 and you put the DMP on function vu-meters and you compare the two devices at the level of the vu-meters and look at the two visualization of vu-meters...

 

[sigbergaudio]

There's no support for normalization as I understand? Is that something that is considered? The spotify feature for soft normalization without loss of audio quality is very useful, but generally not supported through spotify connect it seems(?), which is a shame.

Hello.
Please tell me how the eversolo a6 plays with the yamaha as1100? I mean the dac function. How is the sound? how is the bass? how are the highs, the scene?? how are the voices?? I am asking you because I also have a yamaha as1000 on scansonic M9 standfloor speakers, and I'm going to buy an eversolo a6, but I'll use the internal dac

I would actually prefer to see a spectrum analyzer setting, which measures the digital file output, design similar to the Topping D70 Pro Sabre:

 

[eburb]

My current, non streaming dac, does this, and it is actually quite useful. Especially with other members of the family. Sometimes a child will switch the input to something un-used, and then when I stream something via Chromecast connected to the optical in, thankfully the DAC will auto switch and play. Just one less thing to worry about. Or perhaps the wife puts on a CD, which is connected to the coaxial digital input. Since it auto switches, I can tell my family "just put in the CD and press play". For many non tech people, the less buttons they have to press the better.

So I would suggest, please consider adding this as an optional feature. (I know Eversolo employees are in this forum!)

Yeah, my Bluesound Node 2 auto-switches when I turn on my TV (HDMI input), start streaming Airplay2 from my phone, etc. and it is a REALLY nice feature. Would love to see it (along with an HDMI ARC input) on the DMP-6A!

I'd like to connect this eversolo to the Cayin C9 portable amplifier.. I'd be grateful for any suggestions on it.
thanks. picture attached.
I am already using the XLR connections on the Everolo with a Topping A70.
