Eversolo DMP-A6 vs. Master Edition vs. DMP-A8: Ultimate Streamer/DAC Buying Guide 

Another hit gentlemen. I have watched all of videos from the major RU-vidrs on each of these 3 units over the past few months. Honestly, you brought quite a bit to the table with your review, and even a few things that were left out of those other reviews. For example, this was the first time seeing the touch screen in action to this extent. Also, your description of the sound, instrument separation, as well as the depth and width of the soundstage stood out and was unique...essential information for any enthusiast. Keep up the great work and hope to see you at the upcoming event this week in Laverne.

These guys couldn’t be more 180 degrees different from Kevin if they tried 😂. Always great videos from Upscale!

I like how you described the sound without using audiophile nonsense terms like chocolaty or velvety. Depth, width, natural voices and bass are concepts we can understand.

I got an A8 back in March and am extremely happy with it. As you said, vocals sound natural and there is impressive soundstage. It even makes older poor recordings bearable to listen to, something my old streamer, an Eweat (MyMei) DMP-50 (I believe is made by the Eversolo/Zidoo OEM), could never do. I have paired the Eversolo to a Hypex Nilai500DIY 250W stereo power amplifier, a class d amp that sounds extremely detailed yet silky smooth with no top end harshness.

I've been using the DMP A6 Master Edition w/ an internal linear power supply unit, 2TB Samsung 990 SSD and a Pioneer USB disc drive for ripping/playing CDs. I'm very happy with the Eversolo if I'm being honest. I don't have a ton of experience with streamers, but I really like this one. Granted, the $$$ I've invested into my DMP A6 M.E. at this point is pretty ridiculous. At any rate, I use my Eversolo DMP A6 M.E. for Tidal streaming and as a "hub" for my digital audio files. The Eversolo connects to a Black Ice Audio FusionF360 stereo preamp via XLR and then to an Emotiva XPA-TWO power amp via XLR. I have a pair of the Arendal 1723 THX floor standing speakers and a pair of Emotiva's XS12 12" powered subwoofers. I'm real happy with my "digital chain". Not gonna lie...

Thanks guys, great video. I have a DMP-A8. I think it is an amazing product. I was wondering what DAC you would suggest as a significant upgrade to the A8's internal dac at the sub $5k price point. I have shifted entirely to digital listening. My system is B&W 802D3, mcintosh c2700 pre, mc462 amp. Thanks

Great review guys! I’ve got a couple of questions if you don’t mind. 1. Does the HDMI ARC input work with digital coax out? Does the volume control work in this mode? 2. Is there a difference in SQ between these devices when used with coax out to a dedicated DAC? Thanks!

If i'm using an external DAC, will there going to be a difference between the A6 versions? Thanks for beautiful review ❤

Most people miss the amazing ability of A6 HDMI output for multichannel DSD / DSF (SACD) and PCM 7.1 file playback. Try listening to Billy Joel's The Stranger in multichannel DSD in a high quality audiophile surround setup. You will be entranced.

Please put a list of the components in the system you created to compare these units.

I’m waiting on them doing a firmware upgrade which should add balance control to the DSP before I think of trying the 8.

Newb question: If I play a concert DVD through a cheap player, but have a great DAC is it not going to sound good? If not how do you watch concert DVD's and get reference or at least midfi sound? Thanks.

More cat please.. You guys are good tho . More Kevin too , ..❤❤❤

Eversolo A6 Master vs Cambridge CNX100?

I would do a video on the A8 VS under $5000 units.

Where's the headphone support?

Did you use these as preamps?

I'll wait for the A6 mk2 with HDMI thanks.

Cambridge Audio CXN100 vs Eversolo A8?

Please do a video or comment Eversolo A8 using it as a preamp only.

I like your segment better than Kevin's 😊. You should involve Cathy in your segment and retire Kevin 😅
