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.
