Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 Universal Streamer Unveiled at CES 2025
12.01.2025 06:28 | ~2 minutes read
The second generation of the Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 network audio streamer offers the user a built-in digital-to-analog converter on two audiophile ES9038Q2M DAC chips from ESS Technologies, a proprietary EOS audio engine that further optimizes sound quality and expanded HDMI commutation capabilities (ARC support and multi-channel audio streaming, including DSD Native).
In addition to all of the above, Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 has a built-in preamplifier “on board”; the model is also Roon certified. The Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 network streamer uses an XMOS XU316 audio interface with an upgraded XMOS chip that supports decoding of DSD digital streams up to DSD512 Native and PCM up to 32-bit / 768 kHz. The new product uses dual low-jitter clock synchronization, combining high-precision clock generators with optimized algorithms to minimize jitter. With a fully balanced architecture, the device offers both balanced and unbalanced analog outputs.
With a quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, the Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 network player handles large files and high-resolution audio streams with ease. The device’s body is made of aerospace-grade aluminum.
In addition to the base version of the Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 player, a Master Edition version will also be available, featuring dual femtosecond clock oscillators with ultra-low phase noise and OPA1612 op-amps for more accurate audio synchronization support and signal amplification. The base version of the Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 is now available for a suggested retail price of $859 USD / €869. The Master Edition will be available soon for $1,280 USD / €1,299.

Remton audio 481 MK2 – a Tube Phonostage Based on NOS Tesla Resistors
The Czech audio equipment manufacturer Remton Audio has introduced a tube (4 x JJ ECC81) phono preamplifier with Remton audio 481 MK2 Limited edition – this approach is explained by the use of NOS Tesla resistors with a deviation of only 0.25 dB in the range from 20 Hz to 50 kHz. These resistors are quite rare, so the circulation of both the first and second versions of the phono preamplifier is limited.
TOTALDAC d1-CD – Top-Loading Compact Disc Transport
French company TOTALDAC has released the d1-CD CD transport, the “ultimate solution” for High End disc-based systems. The TOTALDAC d1-CD transport is based on the top-loading CD-PRO8 drive, and also features separate clock generators for the drive and audio outputs, as well as an intelligent ground distribution system.
