EverSolo DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen2 Network Streamer & DAC

The Streamer That Made Touchscreens Standard

EverSolo's DMP-A6 changed what people expect from a music streamer: a big, beautiful touchscreen, an interface that works, and sound that competes far above its price. The DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen 2 is the refined flagship of that line, a network streamer and DAC with upgraded clocks, op-amps, and display over the standard Gen 2.

Two ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chips process the left and right channels on their own, fed by an XMOS XU316 processor handling PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz and native DSD512. The measured results are remarkable: distortion of 0.000087% and a signal-to-noise ratio above 128dB from the balanced XLR outputs.

The Master Edition upgrades matter where they count. Ultra-low-jitter clocks tighten timing, an upgraded OPA1612 op-amp array lowers noise, and a linear power supply keeps noise under 40 microvolts. You also get a sharper touchscreen and an RGB-lit volume knob unique to this edition.

A Complete Digital Music Hub

Streaming runs through EverSolo's own interface on the 6" touchscreen or its control app, with Tidal, Qobuz, HighResAudio, and more built in, plus Tidal Connect and Roon support. An internal SSD slot accepts drives up to 4TB, turning the unit into a music server for your whole collection, alongside 32GB of built-in storage.

Connections cover nearly everything. HDMI ARC brings TV sound into your system; USB, optical, and coaxial inputs handle other digital sources; Bluetooth covers casual listening. Outputs include balanced XLR and RCA analog, plus USB, optical, coaxial, and even HDMI with 5.1 support. A 10-band EQ lets you fine-tune the sound to your room.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Eric Teh of StereoNET scored the Master Edition Gen 2 8 out of 10 with an Applause Award in a March 7, 2025 review, describing "a neutral-to-warm presentation that is detailed yet musical" that "excelled at handling busy mixes and maintaining clean and distinct separation between voices and instruments," concluding: "Bang-for-your-buck-wise, you won't go wrong with this one."

Who Is This Streamer Best For?

• You want a streamer you can actually see and touch — the 6" touchscreen with album art and VU meters is the best interface in its class.
• You have a music file collection — the internal SSD slot (up to 4TB) makes it a server and streamer in one.
• You want your TV in the system — HDMI ARC brings movie and TV sound through your hi-fi.
• You value measured performance — dual DACs, upgraded clocks, and 128dB+ SNR compete with pricier separates.
• If you want a headphone output or amplification built in, the DMP-A6 has neither — it's a source component for an amplifier or powered speakers.

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Join your network over Wi-Fi or gigabit Ethernet, then run the balanced XLR or RCA outputs to your amplifier or powered speakers. Prefer your own DAC? The USB, optical, and coaxial outputs pass a digital signal instead. Connect your TV to HDMI ARC, add an SSD for local files, and control everything from the touchscreen or the EverSolo app.

Firmware updates arrive over the network, and EverSolo has a strong record of adding features and services over time.
