Believe the Hype: Eversolo DMP-A6 Network Streamer and DAC Features Class-Leading Interface, Audiophile-Grade Parts, Six-Inch Color Touchscreen, and High-Resolution Playback up to DSD512
The Eversolo DMP-A6 network streaming DAC is the kind of audio component that leaves experts shaking their heads and listeners second-guessing whether or not what they read about it is too good to be true. Spoiler alert: This price-to-performance marvel is everything it claims, and more. Particularly for listeners looking for a simple one-stop solution for high-resolution streaming — as well as those with an external DAC who want a class-leading user-friendly interface, smart controls, and a phenomenal software experience.
Packed with two ESS SABRE ES9038Q2M DACs, a Quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 processor, fully balanced preamplifier circuit, beefy power supply, and low-jitter dual clock, DMP-A6 supports up to native DSD512, 32-bit/768kHz PCM, and full MQA as well as Bluetooth 5.0, NAS drives, DLNA, and CD players by way of its optical input. Qobuz, TIDAL, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, the list goes on: The Roon-ready DMP-A6 puts them all at your fingertips and gives you a six-inch LCD color touchscreen to help pilot every move. A mobile app; massive memory capability; M.2 SSD slot that allows 4TB of external storage; seven types of digital filters; professional-grade equalizer; and DOH chips for HDMI DSD multichannel operation add to its considerable arsenal.
Bolstered by an in-house-developed EOS audio engine, third-generation XU316 16-core processor, and audiophile-grade parts that extend to WIMA and Nichcon capacitors, Murata chip capacitors, Omron relays, and TI op amps, this 3.5 x 7.3.x 10.6-inch dynamo plays with the level of involving sound to match its comprehensive technology. Housed in a solid aluminum CNC-machined chassis, it also touts connectivity that adapts to practically any environment. A USB 3.0 input, Ethernet input, USB-C input, and coaxial input complement a pair of XLR outputs, pair of RCA outputs, coaxial output, and HDMI output. DMP-A6 can accommodate virtually every protocol to access storage devices shared in the LAN; it can connect to everything from computers and mobile devices to active speakers and power amplifiers.
When it comes to proof of its abilities, the DMP-A6’s measurement specs walk the talk. Its THD+N is -120dB; its SNR and dynamic range come in at 128dB. Want management functionality? DMP-A6 features the Eversolo Music Library, which automatically retrieves metadata from the cloud and permits easy ways for you to make lists, search songs, and organize your collection. Craving the look of VU meters? Done. DMP-A6 arrives loaded with meters and spectrums that can be displayed on the large front panel.
Backed by a one-year manufacturer warranty, DMP-A6 throws down the gauntlet in the field of sub-four-figure streamers.

“Connectivity is superb; its design effectively combines network-attached storage in the same box, greatly simplifying the user experience for many people. It even successfully addresses common issues encountered with integrating music services like Apple Music. The software proved to be stable and responsive, making it a joy to use.”
—Craig Joyce, StereoNet, Applause Award
“No matter how we play songs and from whatever source, the Eversolo takes it all in its stride. It’s a very taut, punchy sound. The streamer delivers music with solid, clear notes and good space around instruments – it’s an upfront presentation that sounds as efficient as it is to use.”
—What Hi-Fi?, four-star review
"[The] success lies not with its D/A conversion abilities (though that aspect certainly is formidable) but rather in the unique software experience, combined with the highly capable hardware platform and comparably reasonable price. While there are plenty of devices out there which accomplish (most of) the same tasks (on paper) I have yet to experience one that nails everything quite like Eversolo does.”
—John Grandberg, Darko Audio
“The Eversolo DMP A6 at $859 is an all-out assault on the establishment, and that must be applauded by those of us who love a great audiophile value. Its feature set is significant and, when combined with its build quality and appearance, it is understandable why this product is intoxicating and popular within its segment.”
—Greg Handy, Future Audiophile
“The DMP-A6 is simply superb value for money! Taking into account all the features, build quality, and sound it will be the perfect digital front-end for many people’s systems. The sound is neutral, flat, and clean, and it doesn’t lack dynamics or punch.”
