EVERSOLO DMP-A6 Gen 2 Hi-Fi Music Streamer Wireles Digital Music Streamer DAC Music Service Streaming Qobuz Tidal More

Okay first thing about the $860 DMP-A6 Gen 2 is that Eversolo in some mad mentality decide that a remote didn’t need to be included so do yourself an favor and order a remote with it. I splurged on the nicer V16; fortunately it just works out of the box via IR and does not need syncing/linking/programming to work, and the V16 is rechargeable, which is great. Now on to the important part… If you’re debating about the DMP-A6 Gen 2 versus WiiM’s Ultra, here are the critical differences: Wins for WiiM: ARC auto detect will switch the WiiM to ARC input automatically, and when you choose to stream music from Qobuz, Tidal, etc, it will automatically switch back to streaming/network input (the Eversolo does not ever automatically engage ARC, although you can turn on an option to automatically switch back to internal player when starting to stream) The WiiM is always in a state of either fully on or standby, never truly off. This means you never have to wait for it to boot up. Putting it in standby turns off stuff attached via 12V trigger and then turning it back on powers up the attached equipment. The Eversolo turns off completely when turned off, and you can’t turn off the attached stuff any other way than by powering down the Eversolo, so next listening session requires a somewhat long boot-up time. The WiiM Ultra has a subwoofer output and actual bass management features; the DMP-A6 does not (although the cheaper Eversolo Play does—go figure!). WiiM RoomFit room correction, particularly when used with a calibrated external microphone, is heads and shoulders better in implementation and resulting sound quality than the crappy Eversolo room correction. The WiiM Home App is considered easier to navigate and use for many people (I personally think they’re both equally easy to use and both in another league compared to competitors such as BluOS or Volumio, but that might just be me). Here’s where the Eversolo wins/you get for your extra money: Native and true DSD support as well as support for PCM higher than 192Khz sample rate, such as DXD, up to 768Khz sample rate (note that playing DSD of any kind disables the integrated EQ and room correction features—they always work for PCM at least up to DXD); this includes even cloud functions such as Plex. I am able to pull DSD256 from my Plex server with the DMP-A6 Gen 2! An NVMe drive bay, which is way, way faster and more elegant than externally attaching a USB storage device like the WiiM; and the SMB functionality is excellent; I can buy/download or rip music to my computer and then using SMB directly upload it over WiFi into the NVMe drive inside my Eversolo! Multiple USB ports so if you want to attach external storage simultaneously as a CD player, and/or an external DAC, you can do this without resorting to using a USB hub as you do with the WiiM. True balanced differential line outputs, and they can be run simultaneously as the single-ended outputs. This is how I use mine (RCA out to my subwoofer, XLR output to my Topping B200 monobloc amps driving my speakers). Screen that’s twice the size (which matters when you listen from 10 feet away as I do). Subjectively I found the dual-mono ESS DAC of the Eversolo better sounding than the WiiM’s single-ESS chip DAC. Long story short: if you can afford it, get the Eversolo if you’re not running a subwoofer. Read more

Are there steamers out there that have higher sound quality? Sure. Are they 2-3 times the price of the Eversolo? Absolutely! For around $700 this all-in-one streamer / DAC is a fantastic buy. I also own a Naim Uniti Atom and a Wiim Ultra and this streamer is a lot closer to the $3000 Naim than it is the $300 Wiim Ultra. Connectivity: I have mine connected via ethernet, so the connection is quite stable for streaming, but I also tried wifi 6 and that was just about as stable. It has all the analog and digital connections you could want on the back (although NO headphone output, so keep that in mind). The internal DAC is great and sounds as good as any DAC that I own. Size: It's relatively small in size (around 12" x 8"). so it fits nicely on a desk or nightstand. In addition, it's not very heavy (unlike the Naim Uniti!). Functionality: You can stream almost any available service (Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify, Deezer, etc..) effortlessly. I stream Tidal using the DMP-A6 as a Roon endpoint and the sound if phenomenal through all of my middle end speakers. The user interface is very easy when you use the Eversolo App on your iPad/iPhone and the LED screen is quite beautiful displaying album art and song details. You can even change it to display a parametric EQ or VU meters (very neat!). Setup: Setup is quite easy and the Eversolo App really simplifies everything. Most people who are looking at this will have zero issues setting up and having it streaming within a few minutes. For others, YouTube videos are your friend! Quality: The box exudes quality with solid materials, solid buttons / dials, and a nice solid feel. All in all, this a phenomenal deal considering the price and sound quality. I highly recommend the Eversolo DMP-A6 and plan to buy further Eversolo products in the future. Five stars! Read more

Do Not Buy...These units have a known power problem and EverSolo has failed to address it. I purchased my unit June 1st 2025 and it died December 31st. When I say died, that exactly what it did, the unit Will Not turn on. After doing some online research, I found this to be a common problem. Don't expect a quick response from customer service, their standard ASAP response is hogwash. When it worked, I enjoyed it, now that I'm having issues and some buyers have stated it may take up to a month to resolve, this company and it's product have left me with buyer's remorse. I have made my last EverSolo purchase and I'm advising others to steer clear of this product. $860 down the drain. Read more
