Same chassis, same DAC chips, same streaming platform, same linear power supply. But inside, EverSolo made targeted upgrades that take the performance further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt $1,399, it sits between the standard Gen 2 and the DMP-A8. It's the right choice when you want the compact, practical A6 form factor but with better clocks and a more refined output stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Different in the Master Edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour things set the Master Edition apart from the standard Gen 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccusilicon femtosecond clocks.\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard Gen 2 uses good dual clocks. The Master Edition upgrades to Accusilicon femtosecond-grade oscillators — one for 44.1kHz-family audio, one for 48kHz. These are exceptionally precise for this price range. Lower jitter means sharper imaging, cleaner detail, and a more stable, controlled sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOPA1612 op-amps.\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard Gen 2 uses Texas Instruments OPA1642. The Master Edition steps up to the OPA1612. The OPA1612 has a noise floor of just 1.1nV\/√Hz and distortion of only 0.000015% at 1kHz. These are the same op-amps used in EverSolo's more expensive DMP-A8. The result is a quieter, more transparent output stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetina-level high-resolution display.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Master Edition's 6-inch touchscreen is upgraded for sharper clarity and better color accuracy compared to the standard Gen 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRGB gradient light ring.\u003c\/strong\u003e The volume knob on the Master Edition has a customizable RGB LED ring that glows in any color you choose — or can be switched off entirely. It's a visual flourish that gives the unit its own distinct personality. A gold logo (vs. silver on the standard Gen 2) marks it out at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DAC — Dual ESS ES9038Q2M, One Per Channel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chips handle conversion — one dedicated to the left channel, one to the right. Running them independently cuts interference between channels and produces better stereo separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circuit is fully balanced from chip to output. The Master Edition's XLR outputs measure 5.2V with dynamic range above 128dB and THD+N of just 0.000087% (–121dB). These are very strong numbers for a unit at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Are Reviewers Saying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStereoNET — Applause Award | Eric Teh — March 7, 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStereoNET reviewer Eric Teh gave the DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen 2 their Applause Award after a full test.

The Master Edition ($1,399) uses OPA1612 op-amps and Accusilicon femtosecond clocks. The OPA1612 is quieter and lower distortion. The Accusilicon clocks are more precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth have the same DAC chips, the same linear power supply, the same HDMI ARC input, and the same streaming features. The Master Edition is the better choice if audio performance is the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Master Edition Gen 2 compare to the DMP-A8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DMP-A8 ($1,980) adds features the Master Edition doesn't have: analog inputs (XLR and RCA), an R2R hardware volume control, an I2S output, and a larger chassis. The A8 is the right choice if you need to connect analog sources or want the most complete preamp setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Master Edition Gen 2 is the better value if you only need digital sources and want the compact A6 form factor with a refined output stage. The OPA1612 op-amps and Accusilicon clocks get it very close to A8-level performance for $580 less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Master Edition Gen 2 Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — it is officially Roon Ready (certified). Connect it as a Roon endpoint and control from Roon on any tablet, laptop, or phone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect my TV to the Master Edition Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The HDMI ARC input accepts audio from a compatible TV's HDMI ARC output directly. TV audio — movies, streaming video, gaming — plays through your hi-fi system. This is the same feature present on the standard Gen 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Master Edition Gen 2 have analog inputs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — it accepts digital sources only. There are no analog inputs. If you need to connect a turntable, CD player with analog outputs, or other analog sources, the DMP-A8 is the right model. Give us a call at 800-942-0220 and we'll help you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a remote control included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Control is via the 6-inch touchscreen or the free EverSolo Control App on your phone or tablet.

The M.2 NVMe SSD slot on the underside holds up to 4TB (M.2 NVMe 3.0, 2280 form factor, sold separately). No screwdriver needed — installation is tool-free. Connect a USB CD drive and you can rip directly to the internal SSD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Black and Silver versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are identical in every technical way.
