To me, the Eversolo is a unit that grabs your attention from start. It is like being at a concert in the first rows, where you can see your favorite band up close and in detail. The Eversolo is quite alluring in its entirety. It sounds lively and energetic, while engaging with you and keeping you at the tip of your feet.
As I mentioned before, the Eversolo is a neutral source. It has excellent resolution throughout the entire spectrum. Bass is well defined and extended. There is great texture and layering in the lows, but it doesn’t boost it in any way.
The mids have the right amount of space to breathe, but not so much, that they sound lost or hollow. Instruments and singers sound realistic, with a natural tone that isn’t overly warmed up or thickened.
Treble is the only frequency range that the Eversolo might lean towards just so slightly. It’s definitely far from being a bright sounding streamer. But there’s just this little glance and a touch of glare in it, that might be tipping towards highs.
Should you want to add coloration to the sound, I’d advice to use speakers or amplifiers that have a warmer sound. My LS50’s weren’t as good as a match as my Klipsch as a sonic companion for the DMP-A6.
Conclusion
Eversolo came in with quite a bang. When they introduced their product to me, I was interested but skeptical. If something sounds too good to be true, it most of the times is. But with the DMP-A6 Eversolo has proven me absolutely wrong.
For $859 USD I think the DMP-A6 ticks all the boxes, and then some. It’s feature rich, well thought out and sounds just wonderful. It offers heaps of details, gives you a front-row seat, is easy to use and is Roon Ready. What more could you possibly want?
Is that a recommendation? Heck yeah. 100%. Eversolo, keep it up. Congratulations to Eversolo and this product.

Although it doesn’t have the play store you can side load a number of android apps like PLEX or SmartTube and some others as apk’s.
It’s a versatile little box of tricks (cd ripping too! though some cd drives are a bit tempremental, my ASUS drive works fine.
There have been several OTA software updates (one due very soon) and the team seem very active if bugs are reported to get them fixed.

I wanted to bring up a correction you need to make on page one. You can add the NVME storage to Roon by sharing the storage as a SMB share and then pointing your Roon core to that share.

How useful is a music streamer if you already own a high-quality DAC and a headphone amp?
Did this streamer make music via Tidal sound better than running your DAC through your computer or laptop?
Martin
Quite a lot seeing as this one doesn’t have a headphone amp in it

The HDMI output isn’t for ARC/eARC of TVs right? Would have to get the DMP-A8 for ARC capability.
