{"product_id":"eversolo-play-streaming-amplifier","title":"EverSolo Play Streaming Amplifier","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Need to Know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is the EverSolo Play?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Play is EverSolo's first all-in-one streaming amplifier. It combines five things that normally live in separate boxes: a network streamer, a hi-res DAC, a stereo power amplifier, a phono stage for turntables, and a full suite of EQ and room correction tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect it to your home network and a pair of speakers. That's it. Your music — from every streaming service, from a turntable, from a TV, from a NAS drive — plays through one small, square box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt won the \u003cstrong\u003eEISA Best Value Streaming Amplifier 2025–2026\u003c\/strong\u003e award. EISA is one of the most respected independent audio award bodies in the world. For a first product in this category, that's a significant achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Play is designed for a specific type of listener. You want great streaming and a big feature set. You want a clean, simple setup with fewer cables and boxes. And you want to spend $699 — not $1,500 or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's at its best in small to medium-sized rooms, with bookshelf speakers, standmounts, or sensitive floorstanders. Its 60W per channel handles most speakers confidently at real-world listening volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also an excellent choice if you want to use it as a streaming transport feeding a separate DAC. The USB digital output supports DSD512 and PCM 768kHz — so your existing DAC can do the conversion while the Play handles everything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Design — Square, Compact, and Built Well\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Play is a perfect 9-inch square and 3.25 inches tall. The compact square format is popular in this product category right now — and EverSolo executes it cleanly. The body is CNC-machined aluminum alloy with a glass fascia on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight is 3kg (6.6 lbs). Heatsink fins run along the underside to keep the electronics cool. In testing, StereoNET noted it stays only \"moderately warm\" even after extended listening sessions — there's no fan and no noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front panel has a 5.5-inch color touchscreen and an illuminated volume knob with an RGB light ring that glows in any color you choose. The screen can display album art, VU meters, or a streaming service grid — your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStreaming — Everything, Built In\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect via Gigabit Ethernet or dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz + 5GHz). The antennas are internal — no antenna sticking out the back. Roon Ready is certified. Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, and DLNA are all supported. AirPlay is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in apps cover Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer, Apple Music, HighResAudio, SoundCloud, TuneIn, KKBOX, Radio Paradise, and more. The streaming platform supports 32-bit\/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 via the EverSolo EOS audio engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's also a fun feature called \u003cstrong\u003eListen at Will\u003c\/strong\u003e — it plays genuinely random selections from all your logged-in services and connected libraries. Music discovery by surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DAC — AKM AK4493SEQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC is an AKM AK4493SEQ — from AKM's Velvetsound range. Velvetsound DACs are known for a smooth, musical tonal character. The AK4493SEQ decodes up to 32-bit\/768kHz PCM and native DSD512. Signal-to-noise ratio is above 109dB and distortion is below 0.0037%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Amplifier — 60W Class D\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in Class D amplifier uses a Texas Instruments power module. It delivers 60W per channel into 8Ω and 110W per channel into 4Ω. The power supply uses PFC-LLC technology for energy efficiency, and includes both inrush current and overheat protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStereoNET's Eric Teh summed it up well: this is \"a friendly music maker for smallish rooms and\/or moderate volume levels — a role that it performs very well.\" The Play is not designed to drive a large room at concert levels. For that kind of use, the DMP-A8 paired with the AMP-F10 is the better path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt-In Phono Stage — A First for EverSolo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Play is the first EverSolo product to include a phono stage. It supports both MM (moving magnet) and MC (moving coil) cartridges. Connect a turntable directly — no separate phono preamp needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC input is set to 74dB gain with 0.5mV sensitivity. These settings are fixed — there are no adjustable loading options for the MC stage. For casual to moderate vinyl use this works well. Serious audiophile turntable setups with high-output MC cartridges or custom loading needs may prefer a dedicated phono stage. Call us at 800-942-0220 and we can help you assess the match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoom Correction and EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoom correction is built in and fully automated. Run a sweep tone from the unit, and the Play analyzes the response, then generates FIR filters to compensate for your room's acoustics. It takes a few minutes and requires a compatible measurement microphone (not included — check EverSolo's compatibility list).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of room correction, you also get a \u003cstrong\u003e15-band graphic EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003e10-band parametric EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e with independent left\/right adjustment, and \u003cstrong\u003e23 genre presets\u003c\/strong\u003e covering EDM, blues, classical, jazz, and more. Smart bass management handles the subwoofer output crossover — adjustable from 40Hz to 500Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Play Is — and What It Isn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Play is a remarkable all-in-one product for its price. But it's worth being honest about its place in the lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt does not have an internal SSD slot — local music storage means connecting an external USB drive. It has no XLR balanced outputs. It has no analog preamp outputs for connecting an external power amp — the speaker outputs are it. And the phono stage is good but basic; no adjustable MC loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need those things — especially preamp outputs or internal storage — the \u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/prnt-evdmpa6g2\"\u003eDMP-A6 Gen 2\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/prnt-evdmpa8\"\u003eDMP-A8\u003c\/a\u003e are the right next steps. But within its mission — one box, just add speakers — the Play does an excellent job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverSolo Play Streaming Amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC power cable ×1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser manual ×1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Speaker cables, interconnects, and a room correction microphone are not included.

For $699, that's an exceptional concentration of capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAKM AK4493SEQ DAC — Smooth and Musical\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AKM AK4493SEQ is from AKM's premium Velvetsound range, known for a warm, musical presentation. It decodes up to 32-bit\/768kHz PCM and native DSD512. SNR is above 109dB and distortion below 0.0037%. The USB digital output sends full-resolution audio to a connected external DAC if you prefer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e60W Class D Amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Texas Instruments Class D module delivers 60W per channel at 8Ω and 110W at 4Ω. The power supply uses PFC-LLC technology for efficiency, with built-in inrush current and overheat protection.

MM cartridges are supported at standard sensitivity. MC cartridges are supported with 74dB gain and 0.5mV sensitivity — fixed, with no adjustable loading. A ground terminal is provided. Connect most turntables directly with no extra hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHDMI ARC Input\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect your TV's HDMI ARC output to the Play and your TV's audio plays through your speakers. Movies, streaming video, gaming — all of it, through your hi-fi system in the living room, with no extra boxes or audio converters needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoom Correction — Automated\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Play runs automated room correction using FIR filters. Play a sweep tone, measure with a compatible microphone, and the Play generates a correction curve based on your room. It compensates for peaks and dips caused by room acoustics — making the speaker placement you have sound more accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e15-Band EQ + 10-Band Parametric EQ + 23 Genre Presets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo levels of equalizer are built in.

The crossover frequency is adjustable from 40Hz to 500Hz. Smart bass management coordinates the bass output between your main speakers and the sub — so the two work together cleanly rather than doubling up on the same frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUSB Digital Output — for Your External DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe USB-A output sends a digital audio stream to a connected external DAC — up to DSD512 native and PCM 768kHz\/32-bit. If you own a great DAC already, the Play can act as its source. This makes the Play a capable streaming transport as well as an integrated system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eListen at Will\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of EverSolo's more playful features.

You control the Play via the 5.5-inch touchscreen on the front or the free EverSolo Control App on your iOS or Android phone or tablet. The app mirrors the touchscreen and allows full remote control from anywhere in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect a turntable directly to the Play?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the built-in phono stage supports both MM and MC cartridges. MM works at standard sensitivity. The MC input is fixed at 74dB gain and 0.5mV sensitivity, with no adjustable loading. For most cartridges this works fine. If you use a high-output MC or need custom loading settings, a dedicated phono preamp will serve you better. Call us at 800-942-0220 and we can help you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Play with a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. There's a dedicated mono subwoofer output on the rear panel. The crossover frequency is adjustable from 40Hz to 500Hz. Smart bass management coordinates the output between the sub and your main speakers so they work together cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Play have preamp outputs for a separate power amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — there are no analog preamp outputs. The speaker terminals are the only way to connect passive speakers. If you want to drive a separate power amplifier from the Play's signal, you can use the digital outputs (USB or coaxial) into an external DAC with preamp outputs. If you need a proper preamp out, the DMP-A6 Gen 2 or DMP-A8 are the right models. Call us at 800-942-0220 and we'll help you think through your options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Play have an internal SSD slot for music storage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — unlike the DMP series streamers, the Play has no internal M.2 SSD slot. For local music storage, connect an external USB 3.0 hard drive or SSD to either USB 3.0 port. The Play sees it immediately and can browse and play from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Play Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — officially Roon Ready. Set it up as a Roon endpoint and control playback from Roon on any tablet or laptop. It also supports Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, and Spotify Connect for streaming direct to the unit without Roon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Play different from the EverSolo DMP-A6 Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey serve different needs. The DMP-A6 Gen 2 ($859) is a streaming DAC with no built-in amplifier — it connects to a separate amp. The Play ($699) is an all-in-one with a built-in 60W amp, phono stage, and subwoofer output. The Gen 2 has XLR balanced outputs, an internal SSD slot, and a more audiophile-focused output stage. The Play is the simpler, more complete single-box solution. Call us to talk through which fits your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers work best with the Play?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Play works best with bookshelf speakers, standmounts, and sensitive floorstanders in small to medium-sized rooms. It delivers 60W at 8Ω and 110W at 4Ω — enough for most home listening. Very inefficient or demanding speakers in large rooms may need more power. Call us at 800-942-0220 and we can suggest speaker pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there also a CD Edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Play CD Edition ($799) adds a built-in CD-ROM drive. This lets you play CDs directly, and rip them to an attached USB drive. The standard Play ($699, this listing) does not include the CD drive but is otherwise identical. See the CD Edition listing separately on our site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does room correction work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Play runs an automated sweep and analyzes the response through a compatible measurement microphone (not included — check EverSolo's compatibility list). It then generates FIR correction filters and applies them in DSP. The correction takes a few minutes and measurably improves frequency accuracy for your specific room and speaker placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\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.
