Eversolo Announces DMP-A6 Gen 2 All-In-One Streamer
One of the hottest brands from 2024 has hit the ground running this year with the announcement of its 2nd generation DMP-A6 all-in-one music streamer.
The Eversolo DMP series has earned numerous international accolades, including earning not one but two StereoNET Applause Awards. The DMP-A6, renowned for its outstanding performance and incredible value, has been named "Best Streamer of the Year" by multiple leading media outlets around the world. Now, this highly celebrated product is ready for an exciting new upgrade!
The newly announced DMP-A6 Gen 2 is a music streamer, DAC, and Preamplifier. Eversolo says its newly upgraded DMP-A6 Gen 2 is "a HiFi streamer that fuses superb sound quality with advanced technologies. It's more than just a music device; it's your new connection to the world of sound."
The company's press release boasts:
From hardware design to every detail of audio processing, the DMP-A6 Gen 2 is crafted for audiophiles who seek the ultimate music experience. It's not only tailored to meet your listening needs but also to make every music session a beautiful artistic journey.
Improvements include an ultra-low-noise audio linear power supply. Its fully optimised power system reduces noise levels to below 40uV, providing a purer and more stable power source for the audio circuit, significantly enhancing overall sound quality over its predecessor.
With a wired network connection, the DMP-A6 Gen 2 also introduces the WOL (Wake-on-LAN) function, which allows you to wake up the device through the app without manual operation.
The DMP-A6 Gen 2 chassis is manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminium with a seamless CNC process that gives it both a rugged and elegant appearance. The metal body not only improves durability but also effectively shields external interference, ensuring the pure transmission of audio signals. The refined matte texture also offers a premium tactile experience, making every interaction luxurious and sophisticated.
The 6-inch high-definition touchscreen on the DMP-A6 Gen 2 has been tuned for better colour accuracy, resulting in improved display performance. The large touchscreen integrates convenience with aesthetics, making playback information and the interface crystal clear. Whether browsing your music library or adjusting settings, the intuitive and smooth operation ensures that every touch is a delight.
The DMP-A6 Gen 2 is equipped with two ES9038Q2M high-fidelity decoding chips. According to the company, expert sound tuning delivers beautiful and detailed sound. The two high-performance DAC chips handle the left and right channels separately, providing incredible dynamic range and subtle detail resolution.
The DMP-A6 Gen 2 utilises the XMOS XU316 audio interface, with a significantly upgraded XMOS chip that supports DSD512 Native and PCM 768kHz@32Bit decoding. The DMP-A6 Gen 2 employs dual low-jitter clock synchronisation, combining high-precision clock oscillators with optimised algorithms to minimise clock jitter. Featuring a fully balanced circuit architecture, it has balanced design from decoding to output. It offers both XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced interfaces.
The DMP-A6 Gen 2 is powered by Eversolo's proprietary EOS audio engine, which breaks through SRC limitations and provides authentic high-fidelity sound quality. Whether playing local music or from third-party apps (such as Apple Music), it delivers the best possible resolution. The DMP-A6 Gen 2 also utilises the EVC output engine, which uses a unique volume adjustment algorithm to accurately eliminate errors at various gain levels. This allows volume adjustments without altering the signal shape, providing more complete audio information to the downstream DAC.
The DMP-A6 Gen 2 supports various master formats, including DSD, MQA, FLAC, APE, and WAV. It also offers an extensive selection of network music services, including Eversolo's customised versions of TIDAL, Qobuz, Highresaudio, Presto Music, Radio Paradise, and many other mainstream streaming services. It also seamlessly supports Roon and TIDAL Connect.
Powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 processor, with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, the DMP-A6 Gen 2 effortlessly handles large files and high-resolution audio streams. It also supports HDMI multi-channel output, including DSD Native and up to 5.1 channels of output, merging music with your home theatre system to deliver a stunning surround sound experience.
In addition to the DMP-A6 Gen 2, a "Master Edition" will also be available as a further upgrade from the standard version, featuring two ultra-low-phase-noise femtosecond audio clocks and OPA1612 operational amplifiers, providing more accurate support for audio synchronisation and signal amplification.
Whether you're a dedicated audiophile exploring the details of music or a music lover pursuing high-quality music, it's easy to see why Eversolo is rapidly receiving accolades and setting new benchmarks for what is possible in affordable hi-fi.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
