Flexibility, Functionality, and Fun Await: Eversolo DMP-A10 Serves as a Network Streamer, Preamplifier, DAC, and Room-Correction Device, Features Audiophile Components and Native High-Res Playback

So as long as we're on the same page: You’re looking for a component that can serve as a wireless streamer, powerful DAC, integrated amplifier, room-correction device, digital hub, and preamplifier — all the while looking great, living up to across-the-board audiophile standards, occupying a compact footprint, and selling for less than $4k? While in the not so distant past that would’ve been an impossibility, the Eversolo DMP-A10 makes that a reality in the here and now. 

Visually distinguished with CNC-engineered aluminum alloy casing and a sharp 6.5-inch LCD touchscreen, DMP-A10 boasts a combination of flexibility, functionality and fit that make it a fantastic option for most any system or situation. Its fully balanced preamplifier circuit, R-2R analog volume control, XLR inputs and outputs, and +10dB analog gain are just the beginning of its sonic-minded build. Small albeit crucial details like WIMA capacitors, T1 op amps, Nichicon caps, and Murata SMT parts have also been looked after and implemented to help take this unit to another level. 

Able to support up to native DSD512 and 32-bit/768kHz PCM, DMP-A10 boasts an ESS ES9039Pro DAC, XMOS XU316 processor, and OCXO clock system to play high-resolution (and more) audio with accuracy, smoothness, and finesse. Treasured traits such as clarity, air, detail, and naturalism emerge whether you’re streaming from one of the many integrated services (TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer, others) or from an external USB source. For the latter approach, DMP-A10 uses iCoupler technology to send both the clock signal and data to the isolated side in correct time order, then resynchronizes them to preserve consistency. Bluetooth 5.0, SBC/AAC, DLNA protocol, and Roon Ready support are also here. 

But really, the choice of how you want to connect is up to you. DMP-A10 functions as a DDC (digital-to-digital converter) wherein signals from the USB input, coaxial/optical input, and ARC input can be output as SPDIF or analog signals after EQ adjustments. Analog output can also be captured by the high-end ADC and subsequently output as SPDIF or analog signals. Want to hook DMP-A10 up to your local network with fiber optics? Working in tandem with an optional SFP module, its SPF fiber network interface eliminates interference in network switches and related equipment. 

Inside, a high-speed electrical isolation system that separates interference from the circuit boards ensures that whatever you listen to will come across with purity and precision. The commitment toward physical isolation even extends to the shielded display panel. Dual power supplies — the analog version which can be reduced to below 30uVrms for stunning quiet and allows for compatibility with voltages everywhere without the need to flip switches — provide robust, stable, ultra-low-noise operation. Also on offer: Two M.2 NVMe SSD slots that accommodate up to 4TB*2 storage expansion, a 10-band PEQ (parametric equalizer), two subwoofer outputs, and silver-plated single-crystal copper wiring in the audio terminals. 

Controllable via the on-screen display, app, or supplied remote control, DMP-A10 easily updates via OTA upgrades and wears the desirable Hi-Res Audio certificate badge from the Japan Audio Society.  Factor in its room-correction abilities and option to have you change the display to a pair of old-school VU meters, and there’s really nothing DMP-A10 doesn’t do to enhance your listening experiences.

High-Speed Electrical Isolation System
DMP-A10 separates noise and interference from different circuit boards. The complete physical isolation eliminates any possible interference to audio circuits in the transmission of system circuit signals, ensuring that the audio signal remains pure and undisturbed. The display panel features a shielding design as well.

OCXO Clock System
Eversolo's custom-developed temperature control technology for OCXO clock system ensures both audio crystal oscillators(45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz) operate at a constant optimal temperature point, thus eliminating frequency fluctuations caused by temperature changes and delivering extremely low phase noise. Each oscillator undergoes a strict testing process. With jitter levels below 50fs, more accurate clock signals are provided to the audio system, revealing more clarity, detail, and air.

Dual Power Supplies
DMP-A10 features dual power supplies with ultra-low background noise, providing stable power output for both the digital system and analog audio circuits. The ripple of the analog audio power supply can be reduced to below 30µVrms, creating a quiet and pure listening environment. Additionally, it incorporates a patented intelligent switching technology for the linear power supply voltage input, enabling compatibility with voltages worldwide without flipping switches.

Isolated USB Audio
By incorporating an advanced electrical isolation circuit, DMP-A10 minimizes interference from high-noise power sources and grounding loop issues when connecting external DACs and USB devices. Utilizing iCoupler technology, it transmits both the clock signal and data to the isolated side in the correct time order and then resynchronizes them to maintain consistency. This ensures that USB signals are transmitted with high fidelity, reducing jitter and maintaining signal accuracy.

Eversolo Original Sampling-Rate Audio Engine (EOS)
This ensures you get the original sample rate output from your favorite music apps. MP-A10 bypasses the SRC limitations, sending audio to your speakers without any changes. It also supports direct output from third-party apps like Apple Music for high-resolution lossless playback.

SFP Fiber Network Interface
To eliminate interference from high-frequency noise in network switches and other network equipment, DMP-A10 introduces an SFP Fiber port, allowing you to connect DMP-A10 to local network via fiber optics. In this case, cleaner audio is delivered without electrical connection between the network switch and the DMP-A10. Traditional RJ45 Ethernet connections are also supported.

Analog Volume Control
A fully balanced analog volume adjustment network composed of precision resistors and relays achieves accurate volume control, effectively suppressing distortion and noise in the analog signal. It also features volume protection, automatically reducing excessive volume to the designated safe level when startup or switching inputs. The incorporation of R2R analog volume control ensures that the DAC can operate at its optimal bypass state continuously.

Parametric Equalizer Module
DMP-A10 features a 10-band PEQ(Parametric Equalizer) module, allowing precise adjustments to specific frequencies, gain, and Q factors, which significantly enhance sound quality. In different listening environments, sound reflections and absorptions can vary, causing certain frequencies to be too strong or weak. By using PEQ fine-tuning, DMP-A10 ensures that the sound remains natural and pleasing. Additionally, it supports FIR filter imports, loudness adjustments, and dynamic compression.
