Eversolo DMP-A6.

[Jasonovich]

I understood where you were coming from Jason, as I'm sure many others did too, it was a valid comparison. Some of us are very entrenched but it's always good to have an open mind, mix this with some wit and we all get along just fine 🙂

Thanks Doug 👍 likewise 🙂

Sorry slightly off topic.

Do any of you know how I can connect my iPod classic to the A6?

You should be able to get, possibly from Amazon cable conversion from iPod classic to USB C, the rest below should be straight forward.

Thank you very much for that.
One issue I have is when I connect my iPhone via the usb c input, I don’t get anything, A6 doesn’t detect it for some reason. Any music I play, it comes from the phone. No detection at all. Any idea why that is?

Check the volume on your iPhone, and did you actually start playing music?

The iPod may not actually work. Apple had a proprietary way of bypassing the DAC and/or newer interfaces like the A6's may not be able know how to extract the data from the iPod.

AFAIK, only some Rotel amps can read iPods from the USB port.

oh dear! it works perfectly with my arcam irdac. I put the irdac on FB marketplace, got a buyer aswell. I may have to cancel the sale.

Volume was up, played music from my iphone, yes. I haven't actually played any music (tabla) for years. Should get back to it tbf.

It is archaic design, I can only assume some of the pins have been disabled and A6 isn't seeing the iPod.
I'm also thinking if it is Charging cable only, does it handle data as well as charging?
You could contact Eversolo customer services, they may have a work around the problem.

This is getting ridiculous, I'm sure the A8 will follow suit soon. Why the need for 4 streamers?????

The A6 Gen2 is out, now the A6 Master Edition Gen 2.

You are absolutely right! When I connect android devices with usb c it works but any IOS device doesn’t even get detected.

You're missing ther point entirely Jason. I'm not talking about performance. If you have an Intel chip and an AMD chip of equal power, you could not know which chip you were running your programs on. This is the idea I'm trying to get across with the DACs. Many people on here think a DAC is a device in a box. You take it out of the box, you plug it into the mains and then plug it into the rest of your system. This is not a DAC. A DAC (and I cannot believe I'm saying this) is a Digital to Analog Converter. It's a small silicon chip with contact pins around it and it spits out bits of information to other circuits. These circuits take the waveform and process this, via many components, until it can be passed to amplifer stages. My argument is that this slice of silicon, costing about ten quid, has no intrinsic sound quality, but only supplies data for another component to eventually turn into sound. I think there are many on here blinkered by bling and see their Topping device as just the chip inside. There's more to it than that. If this fancy Topping Centaurus (good grief) had the AKM DAC inside it, I very much doubt anyone would be jumping up and down complaining, or rejoicing in the fact that Topping were not using the ESS chip as advertised. If Topping made this product with both ESS and AKM chips on the production line, with EVERYTHING else the same, I doubt anyone would notice any difference.

From what I can gather most people think of a DAC as the box they have just paid five hundred quid for, not the chip inside.
You need to accept that these boxes all sound different, even to my sixty year old ears. I have no interest in arguing about chips and all the rest of it, just what comes out of the dac, soundwise. Isn't that what audio is about?

It is silly. If you want a decent streamer, wait for the Eversolo DMP-A8 Gen 2 which is probably on the way.

Yes I agree. People think the DAC is the box and not the chip inside, but I still think this plays little, or no part in the overall sound and it's the other stuff in the box actually creating the desired sound.

I have an Eversolo DMP-A6 and I am in a doubt about using it as DAC and preamp instead of connecting to an external DAC.
Also I want to ask if that would be a better option to use his preamp function or directly connect to my power amp? Can the preamp function improve the sound quality or not?
I mention that before Eversolo I had WiiM Pro and Topping E30II.

I've just bought one. I went through the mill before finally deciding on it. I wouldn't put much stock in the opinion of someone who says that he finds it "a bit thin". The only thing I have found that sounds better than this is the Audiolab 6000N which unfortunately should be avoided because of its truly heinous application. All of the Cambridge offerings up to and including the CXN 100 are truly joyless pieces of hardware. I lost my will to listen to music auditioning them. If someone tells you that it sound "a bit thin" then that's down to their amp and speaker set up. Nothing for the money touches the Dmp-a6. The only caveat is rumour has it the gen 2 version is coming soon. If the gen 2 wasn't rumoured to be coming I would recommend buying the Eversolo now.

Hey jbee, I came across your opinion and I would like to know more 🙂 Currently I own Audiolab 6000N Play and I am thinking about switching to DMP-A6 gen. 2. In your opinion, in which aspetcs 6000N Play sounds better then Eversolo?

I hope you don't mind my interjection, I thought I chip in 😊
Check out Lachlan's review. The Gen 2 DMP-A6 is possibly your best option in terms of user interface and sound quality.

My neighbour had the Gen2 and an Icon to compare about 6 months ago before deciding which to buy ..... he's still got the Icon.

He did like the Eversolo as well but his comments were it was mind blowingly good with some tracks but really not so with others and as such had a love / hate relationship with it, the Icon in comparison didn't suffer from the same variance and was much more consistent.
