Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 – High-Fidelity Network Music Streamer & DAC

The Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 is a next-generation hi-fi network music streamer that combines a high-performance DAC, powerful processing and slick app control in one compact box. Dual ESS DAC chips, hi-res playback up to PCM 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512, HDMI ARC, and a linear power supply make it an incredibly capable digital hub for serious music systems.

Use it as a streaming DAC into your existing amp, as a digital transport into a favourite DAC, or as the central brain of a modern two-channel or TV-based system.

Key features & real-world benefits

• Dual ESS ES9038Q2M DACs with fully balanced architecture – delivers clean, detailed and dynamic sound, with excellent channel separation and low noise. Why it matters: you hear more of the recording and less of the electronics, even on revealing speakers and headphones.
• Linear power supply (Gen 2 upgrade) – improved, low-noise power design feeds the audio circuitry for better clarity and blacker backgrounds compared to the original A6. Why it matters: cleaner power equals cleaner sound, especially in quiet passages and subtle ambience.
• Hi-res audio support up to PCM 32-bit/768kHz & DSD512 – plus support for popular formats like FLAC, WAV, APE, and MQA. Why it matters: you can play essentially any modern hi-res file or stream without format anxiety.
• Roon Ready, TIDAL Connect & streaming service integration – works with Roon, TIDAL Connect and supports services like TIDAL, Qobuz and more (service availability may vary by region). Why it matters: it drops straight into your existing streaming ecosystem with minimal setup.
• HDMI ARC input + multi-channel audio output – HDMI ARC lets you pull audio from your TV into the DMP-A6 Gen 2, while HDMI can also output multichannel audio including DSD. Why it matters: your TV, movies and games can share the same high-quality audio chain as your music.
• 12V trigger & Wake-on-LAN (WOL) – trigger outputs and app-controlled wake-up make it easy to integrate with amplifiers and automation. Why it matters: one button (or app tap) can wake your whole system instead of juggling multiple remotes.
• Eversolo control app for iOS & Android – browse music, manage queues, tweak settings and choose outputs from the couch. Why it matters: you get a modern, phone-first control experience instead of old-school menu diving.
• Hybrid queues & playlists across services – create playlists and queues that mix content from different streaming services and local libraries. Why it matters: your listening follows your taste, not the limits of a single app or service.
• 10-band parametric EQ & DSP tools – fine-tune the tonal balance and system response to suit your room, speakers and preferences. Why it matters: you can dial in your system to sound “just right” without needing extra boxes.
• Powerful quad-core ARM processor & XMOS XU316 USB engine – ensures smooth UI, stable networking and low-jitter digital audio. Why it matters: the interface stays responsive and the audio path remains precise, even with big libraries and hi-res files.
• Flexible storage options – 4GB RAM and 32GB internal storage, plus support for M.2 NVMe SSDs up to 4TB, USB drives and network shares via NFS/SMB/UPnP/WebDAV. Why it matters: build a huge local library inside the unit or stream everything from your NAS – your choice.
• Comprehensive connectivity – Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, USB, coaxial & optical digital, HDMI, plus both RCA and XLR analog outputs. Why it matters: it will happily slot into almost any hi-fi or AV setup without needing adapters.

How the DMP-A6 Gen 2 fits into your system

The DMP-A6 Gen 2 is deliberately flexible:

• As a streaming DAC – run the balanced XLR or RCA outputs into your integrated amp, stereo preamp or active speakers for a clean, simple, high-performance system.
• As a digital transport – feed a favourite external DAC via USB, coax or optical if you already have a reference DAC you love.
• As a TV hub – use HDMI ARC from your TV so streaming apps, games and broadcast TV all play back through your hi-fi system with proper sound.
• As part of a Roon or multi-room setup – its Roon Ready status and broad streaming support make it a great “endpoint” in a larger whole-home audio system.

Who the Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2 is for

• Streaming-first music lovers who want a serious upgrade over generic streamers or basic smart speakers.
• Hi-fi listeners with good amps and speakers already who need a modern digital front end that won’t bottleneck the rest of the system.
• TV & two-channel users looking for a single, neat box that can handle Spotify/TIDAL/Qobuz, local files and TV audio through one chain.
• Upgraders from first-generation A6-level streamers who want better integration (HDMI ARC, trigger, WOL) and a more refined power supply.
