Eversolo DMP-A10 – The new flagship

The Eversolo DMP-A10 is designed to be a network player and D/A converter that opens up a new dimension of audio quality for users and offers outstanding functionality for maximum flexibility and intuitive operation, says EverSolo Audio Technology Co. Ltd. about the Eversolo DMP-A10.

Story Highlights
  • It is the new flagship streaming device from EverSolo Audio Technology Co. Ltd, the Eversolo DMP-A10, which clearly demonstrates what modern streaming systems can offer.

The company EverSolo Audio Technology Co. Ltd. has built up an impeccable reputation as a specialist for D/A converters and streaming solutions within a very short space of time, and there is no doubt that the company has set new standards in the field of streaming systems in particular. Eversolo brand products such as the Eversolo DMP-A6, Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition and the Eversolo DMP-A8 clearly demonstrate what state-of-the-art streaming clients are capable of. What’s more, these solutions all offer outstanding value for money.

This should also apply to the product that EverSolo Audio Technology Co. Ltd. is now labelling as the new reference, the Eversolo DMP-A10. On the one hand, the Eversolo DMP-A10 is said to have the most modern technical features for the best quality and, on the other hand, a well thought-out concept for maximum flexibility.

The reference designed for the highest demands

The manufacturer itself says that the new Eversolo DMP-A10 is designed to meet the highest demands in terms of design, workmanship, functionality and sound quality. The manufacturer is not at all modest in describing its latest solution as a masterpiece, a work of art, which is evident at the very first glance.

Modern industrial design for timeless elegance

In fact, it is impossible not to emphasise the outstanding design of the new Eversolo DMP-A10, which is a solution with a modern industrial design that radiates timeless elegance.

The housing is made of solid aluminium, with elegant phases in the corners at the front and rear, and the cooling fins on the sides echo these lines. The solid lid with the brand name engraved on it not only guarantees that there are no negative external influences on the signal processing, but also pleases the customer’s eye.

Incidentally, the front is adorned with a very generously sized 6.5 inch colour LCD touchscreen display and a rotary encoder, which also has a display and which the manufacturer refers to as Magic Volume Control.

Performance to be optimally equipped for a wide range of tasks

Like its smaller siblings, the new Eversolo DMP-A10 is essentially a computer, but designed solely for processing audio, relying on a platform with sufficient performance.

An XMOS XU316 audio processor from specialist XMOS Technology Inc. is used here, which is initially supported by 4 GB of DDR4 RAM and 64 GeMMC. If required, the Eversolo DMP-A10 can be expanded using two SSDs in accordance with the M.2 NVME 3.0 2280 protocol, each with up to 4 TByte.

All relevant interfaces available

In addition to two USB-A ports corresponding to USB 3.0 for external storage media, there is also a USB port to which external converters can be connected and the Eversolo DMP-A10 can be connected directly to a PC or Mac via a USB-B port. The so-called iCoupler Technology guarantees complete isolation from interfering influences and, as the manufacturer promises, maximum fidelity is achieved with minimum jitter.

The Eversolo DMP-A10 also offers two optical and two coaxial S/PDIF interfaces for external digital sources, as well as an HDMI port with ARC and HDMI CEC.

It should be emphasised that in addition to an RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet interface, there is also an SFP fibre Ethernet port for integration into the network, and this solution also has an integrated WiFi module.

Bluetooth 5.0 based on a QCC5125 from Qualcomm Inc. is also included, which is used here not only for audio signal transmission from a smartphone, for example, but also for integrating a corresponding remote control.

The signal conversion is based on the Eversolo Original Sampling-rate Audio Engine, also known as EOS for short, with the D/A converter from ESS Technology Inc. in the form of an ESS ES9039PRO DAC chip with ESS HyperStream IV Architecture taking centre stage. This allows signals to be processed in Linear PCM with up to 32 bits and 768 kHz as well as DSD up to DSD512.

The basis for these converters is a highly precise clock that relies on a temperature-independent OCXO clock system, whereby two quartz oscillators are used. The first clock generator delivers 45.1584 MHz and the second 49.152 MHz.

The fully symmetrical output stage is based primarily on the TI OPA1612 op-amp chip from Texas Instruments and a complex analogue R-2R network consisting of precision resistors and relays is used to control the volume.

Equipped for analogue sources – use as a fully balanced preamplifier

The Eversolo DMP-A10 is not limited to digital sources and streaming alone; in fact, analogue inputs are also available here, in unbalanced form via two pairs of RCA sockets and balanced via a pair of XLRs.

Analogue signals are also output on the Eversolo DMP-A10 via a pair of RCA sockets and a pair of XLR sockets, and there are also two RCA connections for the integration of subwoofers.

DSP-based signal processing

The Eversolo DMP-A10 is able to utilise various functions via DSP-based signal processing. This primarily includes a 10-band parametric equaliser, as well as independent settings for the aforementioned subwoofer connections.

Eversolo Digital Room Correction

What is particularly exciting, however, is that the new Eversolo DMP-A10 features Eversolo Digital Room Correction, which is said to work so accurately that any acoustic problems in the listening room can be compensated for. According to the manufacturer, room correction supports the connection of a microphone via the device’s USB port, but it is also possible to use a microphone connected to a mobile phone or the microphone of a mobile phone, which in turn acts as a remote control for the Eversolo DMP-A10. Of course, the best results are achieved with a measurement microphone connected directly to the Eversolo DMP-A10.

Complex power supply

To further improve the sound purity, the Eversolo DMP-A10 has two power supply units with extremely low background noise, which provide a stable power supply separately for both the digital system and the analogue audio circuits, as the manufacturer explains.

Digital to digital converter and ADC

We have already mentioned that the new Eversolo DMP-A10 is a fine D/A converter, but it is also important to mention that it can be used as a digital to digital converter. This is also known as DDC functionality and refers to nothing other than the ability to output signals from the USB audio input, S/PDIF or HDMI via the digital outputs of the Eversolo DMP-A10, including any signal processing by the system’s equaliser.

It is also possible to convert analogue signals to digital, so the Eversolo DMP-A10 also functions as an ADC, although this is limited to 24 bit and 192 kHz.

Streaming in every conceivable way – wireless streaming hub

No, we haven’t forgotten to mention that the new Eversolo DMP-A10 is an immensely flexible streaming client that can utilise UPnP, TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast. The manufacturer also states that it has already endeavoured to obtain Roon Ready certification from Roon Labs LLC. and that various apps can of course be installed directly via the Eversolo DMP-A10’s operating system – Google Android – in order to directly access services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, TuneIn, Amazon Music, IDAGIO, SoundCloud, HIGHRESAUDIO or even Apple Music. In this regard, EverSolo Audio Technology Co. Ltd. has already proven that it continuously delivers updates that constantly expand the possibilities of its systems.

Home Music Centre

Another way of using the Eversolo DMP-A10 is as a home music centre, where it functions as a streaming player itself, with content being stored directly on the device’s integrated SSD or integrated via USB storage media.

The Eversolo DMP-A10 can of course display all relevant information, the so-called ID3 tags, and thus guarantee convenient operation. Cover artwork is also displayed.

The Eversolo app for Apple iOS and Google Android is not only the central interface for convenient control, it also provides direct access to all other functions of the device.

This also applies when content is retrieved via WebDAV or Plex, for example, which the Eversolo DMP-A10 also supports.

The so-called Global Music Search Function offered by the new Eversolo DMP-A10 is also exciting, as it searches for content across all available services.

Finally, it should also be mentioned that the Eversolo DMP-A10 can also be used as a CD player if a corresponding drive is connected via a USB port. Given the device’s impressive range of functions, it will hardly come as a surprise that CD ripping is also possible.

Prices and availability

The new Eversolo DMP-A10 will be available shortly, as the manufacturer promises. If you are interested, you will have to budget € 3.780,- for it. As already mentioned, a Bluetooth remote control, which also supports infrared, is included in the scope of delivery.

Getting to the point

The streaming systems of the Eversolo brand from EverSolo Audio Technology Co. Ltd. have developed into extremely successful solutions on the market within a very short time, which is primarily due to their outstanding price-performance ratio. The Eversolo DMP-A6 already caused a sensation, but was surpassed by the Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition until the Eversolo DMP-A8 came onto the market as the new star.

Even then, many people thought that there was hardly anything missing from this solution, but now the new Eversolo DMP-A10 is in the starting blocks and once again the developers at EverSolo Audio Technology Co. Ltd. have succeeded in designing a solution that is even better in every respect. So when the company speaks of a true work of art, this can be taken quite literally, as it is designed to meet the highest demands and offers a first-class design, impeccable workmanship, impressive functionality and probably also outstanding sound quality.
