Eversolo DMP-A6.

[James105]

Hi,

Anyone have any experience with these? the reviews all seem good. I've been looking for something with internal storage and a nice screen. As far as I can find this is about the only option at the price, but after you add a 2TB SSD it's £1000.

Anybody know of any alternatives I should check out?

I found it sounding a bit 'thin', and ultimately a little uninvolving. Might suit the right system, but I don't think it's a product for everyone. The Bluesound Node X sounded better, but that's now discontinued and the Icon is their latest and greatest, and should sound better than the X.

You'll be limited for storage and a nice screen, especially at this price point - the more features on board, the more it eats into the budget, and less the money will have gone into pure sound quality.

If you're talking about the A6 one can insert a SSD drive - so it's not really limited for storage.

If you're talking about sound quality of the Icon - well it's a fully balanced design, and I don't see how you come to that conclusion.

Thanks, I might keep looking.

I meant limited finding options with storage.

And I came to that conclusion by listening to it - design/build etc wasn't taken into account.

I've watched a few reviews on eversolo products thin and brighter sound is mentioned on a few of them that's including there new amplifier that matches the A10.

The new F10 amp yes, surprising considering it's AB and not Class D like the lesser one.

From what I glean, and with the latest firmware updates, I believe you can tailor the sound just as you want.

I agree. I think the Eversolo is too good and lacks character. I always compare it with Japanese whisky. The way they produce it is perfect and superior to how many Scottish and Irish distiillery make whisk(e)y. But because it's too perfect it lacks what the good Scottish & Irish have.

I've never actually had any Japanese whiskey before, but I know what you mean.

Like many of these Chinese companies (see the ASR list) I feel they've focused so much on producing a product with a stupidly low distortion figure (how low can we detect?) that they've forgotten or ignored everything else. If you look at iconic (and extremely popular) hi-fi components over the decades, how many of them actually measured that well? How many of them produce a flat frequency response?

Fwiw, EverSolo Audio have just announced the new DMP-A6 Gen 2 on their FB page.

Hopefully they've added eArc/Arc so we don't have to stump up 2k for the privilege.

Fingers crossed 🤞
