An old-school design sans streaming or any other such fancy stuff, it’s still come a long way since the first Digilog of the nineteen eighties. Large, heavy and festooned with buttons and status LEDs, it’s extremely well made inside and out while offering 32-bit, 768kHz PCM and DSD512 playback plus MQA, and excellent connectivity. Its sound is the star attraction though, thanks to its wonderfully open, detailed and musically enjoyable character.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOutstanding Product Award\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe M6x was honored with an Outstanding Product Award from \u003cem\u003eHi-Fi Choice\u003c\/em\u003e magazine. \"Musical Fidelity's latest converter is a winning combination of foolproof usability, wide file compatibility and accomplished performance that favours any musical genre.

Three key features make current-feedback amplifiers outstanding for audio. The high slew rate prevents odd order distortion anomalies. Current-on-demand at the output enables the amplifier to respond quickly and linearly; when large amounts of output power are suddenly needed, the amplifier can respond extremely quickly without raising the noise floor of the system and degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. Gain-independent frequency response allows the full bandwidth of the amplifier to be used over a wide range of volume settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMechanically Sound, Too!\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWith close attention paid to every aspect of the M6x DAC, the mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidelity tradition. Front panel and side panels are milled from extruded aluminum profiles. The exterior doesn’t only look clean, stunning and indestructible, but it also protects the internals against outer electromagnetic fields, and in the same way it protects your other hi-fi gear against electromagnetic fields generated by the M6x DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConnect with Your Favorite Music on a Hypnotic Level\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe M6x DAC connects you to your favorite artists on a hypnotic level.

As you get reintroduced to your music library, you might want to discover what else is possible and hear it from different stages. Customizability and settings turn the M6x DAC into a powerful tool for experts, which elevates it into a league of its own. Explore the sound stage with upsampling or without, and see if you are drawn in deeper. Choose between seven different digital filters and a complete oversampling bypass, disabling those filters.

The AMP-F2 is a power amplifier only — it has no volume control, no DAC, and no streaming. You need a separate preamp or streamer\/preamp to control volume and select your source. It pairs naturally with EverSolo's DMP-A6 or DMP-A8, but works with any preamp that has XLR or RCA outputs. Speakers and speaker cables are also required and not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat preamp or streamer pairs best with the AMP-F2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverSolo designed the AMP-F2 to work alongside their DMP-A6 and DMP-A8 streamer\/DAC\/preamps. A USB-to-Trigger cable is included so the two units power on and off together. That said, the AMP-F2 works with any preamp that has XLR or RCA balanced outputs. If you'd like help picking the right pairing, give us a call at 800-942-0220.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"bridged mono\" mean, and do I need it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridging combines both channels of the amp into a single, more powerful mono channel. In bridged mode the AMP-F2 delivers up to 450W at 2 ohms — enough for almost any speaker. Most listeners won't need it. It's most useful for very power-hungry speakers or for building a dual mono-block setup with two AMP-F2 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers work with the AMP-F2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost any passive speaker. The AMP-F2 can handle loads as low as 0.8 ohms and delivers up to 16.5 amps of output current per channel. This gives it the ability to drive demanding, low-impedance speakers that would challenge less powerful amps. It pairs equally well with efficient bookshelf speakers and hungry floorstanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a remote control or volume control on the amp itself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The AMP-F2 is a pure power amplifier with no volume control and no remote. Volume is controlled by your preamp or streamer. Power on\/off can be automated via the 12V trigger connection — when your preamp or EverSolo streamer powers on, the AMP-F2 follows automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the AMP-F2 run hot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Class D amplifiers are very efficient. The AMP-F2's heat output is rated at 65 BTU per hour — about the same as a light bulb. It draws only 14 watts at idle. You can safely place it in a closed or semi-enclosed rack without worrying about heat buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the AMP-F2 differ from the EverSolo AMP-F10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F10 is EverSolo's higher-powered Class AB amplifier. Class AB designs use a traditional analog output stage with a large transformer and large capacitors — the AMP-F10 weighs significantly more and runs warmer. The AMP-F2 uses a more modern Class D design. Both are capable amplifiers, but at different price points and with different sonic characters. Call us if you'd like help deciding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the AMP-F2 work with my existing non-EverSolo preamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

The chassis has also been upgraded to aerospace-grade aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything that made the original great — the streaming, the DAC chips, the screen, the app — is still here. The Gen 2 just does it all with less noise and more features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the DMP-A6 Gen 2 and the Master Edition Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth units are the same size and do the same jobs. The Master Edition ($1,099) adds upgraded Accusilicon femtosecond clocks and better OPA1612 op-amps (vs. OPA1642 in the standard). The standard Gen 2 is the better value if you want the core streaming and DAC performance without the clock upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need anything else to use the DMP-A6 Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll need an amplifier or powered speakers. Connect the DMP-A6 Gen 2's XLR or RCA outputs to your amp, plug in Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and you're ready to play. No computer required for streaming. For local music, you can add an M.2 SSD (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work as a pure streaming transport without using its DAC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Use the USB-A, coaxial, or optical digital outputs to feed a separate DAC. The DMP-A6 Gen 2 sends the digital audio to your external DAC and does nothing else. Many users who own a high-end external DAC do exactly this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DMP-A6 Gen 2 Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — it is officially Roon Ready. Set it up as a Roon endpoint and control everything from the Roon app on a tablet or laptop. No extra configuration needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect my TV to the DMP-A6 Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The HDMI ARC input lets you connect your TV's HDMI ARC output directly. TV audio — movies, video streaming, gaming — plays through your hi-fi system. This is one of the most useful new features in Gen 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DMP-A6 Gen 2 have analog inputs for a turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the DMP-A6 Gen 2 accepts digital sources only. There are no analog inputs. If you need to connect a turntable or other analog source, look at the DMP-A8, which includes XLR and RCA analog inputs. Give us a call at 800-942-0220 and we'll help you choose the right model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a remote control included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The DMP-A6 Gen 2 does not include a remote. You control it from the touchscreen or the free EverSolo Control App on your phone or tablet. EverSolo's Bluetooth remote is available as a separate purchase if you'd prefer a physical control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DMP-A6 Gen 2 compare to the DMP-A8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DMP-A8 ($1,980) adds several things the A6 Gen 2 doesn't have: analog inputs (XLR and RCA), an R2R hardware volume control, more connectivity options (including I2S output), and a larger chassis. If you want to connect analog sources or need the most complete preamp setup, the A8 is the step up. The Gen 2 is the stronger value if streaming and DAC duties are all you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I install a drive for local music storage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. An M.2 NVMe SSD slot sits on the underside of the unit — no screwdriver needed. Install a drive (up to 4TB, M.2 NVMe 3.0, 2280 format, sold separately) and you can store your full music library inside the unit. Connect a USB CD drive to rip your CDs directly to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Since 1981, we've helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take your time.
