As a streamer, it connects to your home network and plays music from Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and more. As a DAC, it converts that digital audio into sound your amp can use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's compact — about the size of a shoebox — and fits neatly on a desktop, a shelf, or in a rack. The bright 6-inch touchscreen on the front puts everything at your fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original DMP-A6 was a massive hit. This Gen 2 version keeps everything people loved and makes meaningful improvements — at the exact same price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's New in Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverSolo listened to their customers and upgraded what mattered most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuieter power supply.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen 2 gets a linear power supply — a type known for producing very low noise. The original used a switching supply. This change alone can make the music sound cleaner and more natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI ARC input.\u003c\/strong\u003e ARC stands for Audio Return Channel. If your TV has an HDMI ARC port, you can now send your TV's audio directly to the DMP-A6 Gen 2. That means movies and streaming video through your hi-fi system — no extra cables or boxes needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetter volume control.\u003c\/strong\u003e The new EVC Output Engine improves how the unit handles volume changes. It keeps the audio signal clean and complete at every level — so soft and loud sound equally good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSB-B input.\u003c\/strong\u003e The USB input has moved from USB-C (laptop-style) to USB-B — the type found on most hi-fi and studio gear. A small change, but the right one for audiophile use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12V trigger output.\u003c\/strong\u003e This lets the DMP-A6 Gen 2 automatically switch your power amp on and off. Turn on the streamer and your amp wakes up too — no reaching behind the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWake-on-LAN.\u003c\/strong\u003e Want to start listening without leaving the couch? The app can now wake the DMP-A6 Gen 2 over your network. Your music is ready before you even get up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DAC — Dual ESS ES9038Q2M\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the DMP-A6 Gen 2 are two ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chips — one dedicated to each stereo channel. Running a chip per channel cuts interference between left and right. The result is better channel separation, a lower noise floor, and a wider, cleaner sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circuit is fully balanced from the DAC chips to the outputs. This helps reject noise that can creep in from outside the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured performance is strong. The dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio both hit 128dB. Total distortion (THD+N) is –120dB — 0.00009%. These are real-world results, not just marketing numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStreaming — Everything, Built Right In\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DMP-A6 Gen 2 connects directly to your home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. No computer or separate streaming device needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in services include Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Radio Paradise, HighResAudio, TuneIn, IDAGIO, SoundCloud, Calm Radio, and Presto Music. More are added via regular firmware updates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoon Ready, Tidal Connect, and DLNA are all supported. The free EverSolo Control App for iOS and Android mirrors everything on the touchscreen — so you can browse and control from the sofa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverSolo's EOS audio engine bypasses Android's built-in audio limits. This lets the app deliver audio at its true, full resolution — not a compressed version of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Great App — and a Great Screen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6-inch touchscreen is bright, sharp, and fast. It shows album art, track info, VU meter displays, and all settings. Swiping and tapping feel like using a modern smartphone — no lag, no frustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EverSolo Control App is consistently praised by reviewers as one of the best in the category. It's clean, logical, and does more than most rival apps — without feeling complicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also cross-search across all your streaming services at once. No more switching between apps to find what you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This Best For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You want a great streamer and DAC in one box — without spending a lot.\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\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You use Roon.

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.
