Trully amazing device. It ticks all the boxes for me. Playback quality is fantastic, rich functionality especially once equipped with NVMe storage. I love I can rip my CDs into flac files. I am reviewing Gen 2 version here.

In these days of prices inflated to 'what the punter is prepared to afford' you can't really say this is a cheap high class streamer. However it takes the cheaper and slightly cheaper streamers and blows them into the weeds.....particularly in the field of the control software, which is both intuitive and attractive. As we have also seen - from the guys with the pin sharp hearing and discernment - it also sounds great too. Having used a half decent £1500 streaming home cinema receiver for a couple of years I wasn't prepared for any real discernible hike in sound quality......Emperor's new clothes etc. I bought the A6 for the control software (mostly). However, there is no question about how musical this sounds in comparison to the Denon. Listening to music is now listed as one of my hobbies again. I really can't stress this enough - it's been a life-changer. Coupled with the (unique?) easy plug and play SSD facility, this has proved to be a very wise purchase indeed. Just wish I could have afforded the A8!

Brilliant streamer. The high res audio is amazing when paired with a quality set of speakers. I have had no issues what so ever and would not hesitate to recommend this product.

I bought this as a streamer by the reality is that I mainly use it to stream my cd collection as a flac file server (with streaming capability if I can convince myself to subscribe to a music service). Superbly featured, great looking, compact, excelkent sound quality and fantastic build quality. I bypass the built in DAC using the usb out and my amplifier DAC ... it is what i have always (for the last 40 plus years) wanted in a music server.

Dont buy now, wait till the Gen2 is available. Fantastic bit of kit.

Amazing sound and features, I brought a Crucial P3 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD to fit in the internal slot which was a problem at first but after realising it wasn’t seated properly it worked and formatted, user interface is amazing and fairly easy to get your head around, I would highly recommend, it seems like I’m listening to my music in a new way I’m hearing things I’ve never noticed before

Game changer over my bluesound node.

Don't believe the hype from online reviewers for this item, it is average at best and given the choice again I would go with a streamer from Cambridge Audio. The main problem with this player is that the sound is harsh in the treble making it fatiging over long listrnening periods. Another issue is the software is simply not up to scratch and I'm talking about software updates that render the player unable to connect to your home network which can only be solved by a factory reset which wipes your entire music library. I reached out to Eversolo about this but got no reply. Not good. **Update** further star removed for this product. Once again it has removed itself from my home network and refused to reconnect requiring a further factory reset and once again I have lost my whole music library.

Prima streamer/dac met een heel prettige weergave van digitale bronnen. Veelzijdig in gebruik. Kan als voorversterker worden gebruikt, dus volumeregeling van de streamer/dac wordt dan gebruikt. Een hele goede app die probleemloos en snel werkt. Alles bekende streamingsdiensten zijn aanwezig om te kunnen gebruiken. Helder touchscreen met een goede weergaven en in te stellen naar persoonlijke voorkeur. Apparaat nu sinds lange tijd in gebruik en ben er zeer tevreden over. Het geluid is naar mijn mening (dit is heel persoonlijk) erg prettig en aangenaam. Dit is natuurlijk ook afhankelijk van de gebruikte apparatuur. Voor de prijs een hele dikke voldoende voor het geluid en het gebruiksgemak.

Betreibe diesen Streamer nunmehr seit 10 Tagen ohne Probleme in Verbund mit einem externen DAC (Rme ADI-2 Pro FS-R) ohne Probleme als Streamingtransporter. Die Bedienung des Geräts über die APP und auch am Gerät selber bereitet keine Probleme. Die wichtigsten Streamingdienste wie Tidal, Qobuz sind nativ implementiert. Selbstverständlich auch ist Spotify- und Tidal Connect vorhanden. Hatte vorher den Bluesound Node N130. Da gab es immer wieder Probleme damit, dass die APP keine Verbindung mit dem Streamer aufnehmen kann. Sehr schönes und informatives Display. Da ich eine einen sehr guten Wandler habe konnte ich auf den Aufpreis für die verbesserte Master Edition des DMP A6 verzichten. Die Klangqualität konnte dennoch auch über digitale Ausgabe an einen externen DAC im Vergleich zum Node zulegen. Insgesamt wirkt das Klangbild aufgelösten als vorher. Ich denke, dass ich nun mit der Streamerwahl am Ziel angekommen bin. Hatte angefangen mit den Yamaha NP S303 und ging über den Pioneer N70AE zum Bluesound Node. Der Pioneer war eigentliich gut, aber die APP war schlecht gemacht. Habe mich jetzt dennoch zur Masteredition durchgerungen. Den externen Wandler werde ich mir wohl sparen können.

Heads up - this is a detailed review, first impressions For many years, I have used the best streamer under 1k: Sonos connect with the W4S mod, coax out to my DAC. Sound wise, there wasnt anything close under 1k. Sonos port with W4S mod - inferior, Blusound - not close. I just wanted something a bit more responsive and was dissappointed when the Sonos port sounded inferior even with the W4S mod. So with the recent releases of promising products, I bought both the Innuos Pulse mini streamer and this Eversolo DMP-A6 and compared them. There is so much you can learn from the web reviews, and from experience, there can be little info on sound quality. Example - the W4S Sonos connect has very few reviews for what was for its time, an outstanding product. (It still is). So here are my impressions: Sound quality as a streamer into an external DAC: (my primary use) SPDIF (coax out): All 3 are close. Eversolo is the best by a slight margin. Very slightly cleaner in the highs, Well balanced. Sonos is a very close #2 and I could live with this as well. Slightly brighter, a tad more dynamic. Innuos: #3 Cleaner highs than the Sonos but with the stock power supply has a layer of grunge that an external power supply removes. With an external power supply, it is a bit less clean and a bit less dynamic than the other 2. Again, these differences are slight. USB out: Eversolo and Innuos (with external power supply) are the same. with innuos stock power supply , innuos is slightly grungier, which surprised me. USB I didnt like because it was less dynamics than SPDIF coax, both units. Through USB, highs are cleaner, better sibilants App: Innuos and Sonos apps are the best. #1: Innuos #2: Sonos #3 distant third is eversolo app. Eversolo is hard to navigate and not that clean. Innuos app is rock solid. Eversolo app would not allow me to connect to my iphone app via the camera scan. Tidal streaming: On Sonos and Eversolo, you can use the native Tidal app, via Tidal connect. Innuos you have to use their app, which is very good anyway. Eversolo app is frustrating, so very happy to avoid. Front panel - #1: Eversolo #2: Sonos #3: Innuos Back panel: #1: Eversolo #2: Sonos #3: Innuos Main benefit is that eversolo and sonos has wifi built in. Sound with built in DAC: Did not review. I have read that the Eversolo DAC is not that good. I am going to keep the Eversolo and Innuos for a while and see how they evolve and how easy to live with. I am impressed by the rock solid Innuos - it just works and it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into it and with their app. The Eversolo by comparison is full featured and has a flovor of lets put everything in and see what sticks. I can give up all the bells and whistles on the Eversolo for a better app and their excellent sound quality. Will update after more use. Edit 1: Used a 2TB intel 670p NVMe. Works great. Amazon sells 2TB for $70, 1TB for $40 right now. I would suggest that you use an external enclosure to connect to your computer or server to transfer your music the first time. Format it in exFAT, and then transfer your music. Then move the drive to the Eversolo. I first tried it by installing it into the eversolo and transferring it via wifi. It was soooo slow. Would take about a month to transfer my music. Then did it the way I suggested and that took about a minute. Also, I noted that the CPU in the eversolo is a weak performer compared to the innuos pulse mini, about 3x slower. So anything you ask the eversolo to do that requires CPU is going to be slow. The sound quality coming from the drive is superior than streaming through Tidal. Earlier I commented that the sound from the W4S sonos connect was brighter than that from Eversolo; now the balance from the drive is the same as streaming from the Connect, but more detailed. So far, the Sound Quality is the best from the NVMe with hires sources. (I tested with a 96kHz 24 bit track vs Tidal MQA). Edit2: Spent some time comparing USB vs SPDIF output. For those who are unaware, SPDIF output takes the audio digital signal and clocks it using onboard crystal oscillators to your external DAC. The external DAC uses the clock from your device (DMP A6) as the master clock. USB just sends the digital signal via an asynchronous format to your DAC. Your DAC then reclocks it with onboard crystal oscillators before doing the conversion to analog. So which sounds better will depend a lot on whether the clocks on the DMP A6 vs your DAC. The master edition of the DMP A6 supposedly has better clocks so SPDIF should sound better, whereas the USB should be the same. That said, my DAC has a pretty decent USB conversion, at least as good as the DMP A6. I used the highest quality digital signal from my NVMe for comparison and went from USB to SPDIF everything else the same to my DAC. My conclusion is that the USB output is cleaner, but I didnt always prefer the USB out. The biggest different was the soundstage. The SPDIF was up front, immediate and more exciting, whereas the USB out was further away. For pop, I generally preferred the SPDIF, whereas for classical, I preferred the USB because everything was cleaner, more precise. If you have a cheaper DAC, you probably would prefer the SPDIF. I tried it on a cheaper DAC and I preferred the SPDIF. So it all depends on your preference and the quality of the USB clocking on your DAC vs the DMP A6.

Denna streamer är en "game-changer" - låter fantastiskt bra med många möjligheter för anslutningar!
