In this video, I unbox, setup, and review the EverSolo DMP-A6 streamer/DAC. Overall, this is the coolest audio device I have tested in a really, really long time and it took my 2 channel setup to the next level. If you're looking to up your audio game, the DMP-A6 should be at the top of your list.

  • Best reviewer on the Eversolo after watching over a hundred videos … I really do appreciate the in-depth about the connecting to the receiver and amp now I can fully purchase one
  • @Manly
    Wow Jellyfin is available too. NICE!!!
  • @Writer_Davide
    I use Eversolo analog 2 channel pure direct through my Denon. The sound was quite forward and stage a little constricted but very clean and accurate. Almost what I wanted but not quite. I installed LPS-A6 and everything changed. It’s now exactly what I want. It’s a solid upgrade. I recommend it.
  • @gregbartley2475
    I have had mine for a good while now and really like it. I bypass the internal DAC and use a Gustard R26. I wish Eversolo would make a streamer with no internal DAC and an I2S output.
  • @vitaliy_7422XS
    This is all about the Eversolo DMP A6. But are there any significant differences between A6 and A6 Master Edition version as it comes to sounding or maybe convenience? For I've heard of there's some upgrading and enhancements in terms of circuitry. Would like to know your opinion, thanks.
  • @frankknoll664
    Sehr gute Vorstellung 👍 Mir persönlich fehlt leider ein Subwoofer Pre Out. Schade 😞
  • @user-mb4wh2xf5c
    I have Spotify app on my phone and use bluetooth to stream through my Denon reciever..why would this DAC better better? Thanks
  • @josephkelly478
    @upscaled_reviews . Is it possible to show how you connected the eversolo to make use of the dac? I have it connected to my pioneer receiver through HDMI as a streamer but I don't get enough sound. I will really appreciate it you can assist with that . Thanks in advance
  • @hapskie
    Trying to find a list of apps that are supported on the A6, especially if there is a DAB+ app. Any idea where this can be found?
  • @4thumb4
    I have Zidoo Z1000pro and bought the dmp-a6 in January. I love them both, but was looking into selling them both and picking up a Zidoo Neo X. The Neo X plays hi res audio and play video files. Any chance you can get Zidoo send you a Neo X to review? Love your channel!
  • @chebrubin
    Please do a follow-up on multichannel DSD, FLAC and PCM via HDMI output. Simply nothing sounds better. Note: you might need to "download" some media. But once you hear DSD multichannel you will never go back to Apple Spatial on a Apple 4K TV.
  • @mrpmj00
    lol, took u long enough. I love my DMP-A6. As good as it sounds, a delta sigma chip still sounds 2D. I use an external R2R dac Denafrips Pontus II 12th-1. And then I hear another improvement with the DDC by Denafrips Iris 12th. source=Apple Music lossless. By the way, turn on the A6's shortcut bar and put the Apple Music icon on there. To take it another step, I upgraded to the Cardas Clear USB cable and Cardas Parsec RCA cables and I hear an improvement.
  • How do I use the dac while streaming the internal apps? Do I connect the the a6 to a preamp?
  • @RanTausi
    Does the A6 have a bass and treble control ?
  • Does this thing have a preamp so you can plug power amplifier’s straight in and play.😡
  • @BoRerunn
    I have to disagree.... It's wonky. Yes it has allot of APPS but they don't connect that easy. It's feature packed but the DACs are old already. ESS is up to 9080
  • @jkim4712
    Eversolo looks good for sure. But if you got decent DAC, $149 Wiim pro with external LPS sounds as good or better than Eversolo.
  • @derekf7772
    The just announced Wiim Ultra Streamer sounds like a challenger to the Eversolo?
