Eversolo DMP-A10

Network player, DAC and balanced preamplifier

The Eversolo DMP-A10 is the brand's flagship: it combines a network streamer, a digital-to-analogue converter and a fully balanced preamplifier in a single chassis. It can drive a pair of power amps or active speakers without an additional preamp, while centralising the system's digital and analogue sources. It is built on a CNC-machined aluminium chassis with two separate linear power supplies, one dedicated to the audio section and the other to the system section.

ES9039PRO conversion and dual OCXO clock

Conversion is handled by an ESS Sabre ES9039PRO chip with HyperStream IV architecture, paired with an XMOS XU-316 USB interface. The DMP-A10 accepts PCM streams up to 768 kHz/32-bit, native DSD512 and MQA. Two oven-controlled OCXO clocks ensure jitter below 50 femtoseconds, for a stated signal-to-noise ratio of 130 dB.

Balanced preamplifier and R-2R volume control

Volume is handled by a relay-based analogue R-2R network that acts directly on the signal without any loss of digital resolution. The preamp stage is fully balanced and can provide up to +10 dB of analogue gain, enough to properly drive a low-sensitivity amplifier. The RCA and XLR analogue inputs let you use the DMP-A10 as the central preamp for a phono stage, a CD player or another line source.

Comprehensive connectivity and system integration

On the digital side, the network player has two coaxial inputs, two optical inputs, a galvanically isolated USB-B audio input and an HDMI ARC input for TV sound. Coaxial, optical and USB audio digital outputs can feed an external DAC, with the DDC function handling format conversion. The RCA and XLR analogue outputs are complemented by two dedicated subwoofer outputs, and networking is via Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi or an SFP fibre port. A 12 V trigger in/out and a ground terminal make integration into an existing hi-fi system easy.

Display, control, streaming and room correction

The unit is operated from its 6.5-inch colour LCD touchscreen, assisted by a circular display built into the volume knob that shows the level in dB and the active input. The native Android system and Eversolo's in-house EOS audio engine give access to Roon Ready, AirPlay 2, DLNA, TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music. Two M.2 NVMe slots accepting up to 4 TB each can host a local library, while the 10-band parametric equaliser and Eversolo room correction adapt the sound to your listening room.

This room correction relies on a microphone measurement: the Eversolo EM-01 measurement microphone, individually calibrated and sold separately, is the accessory designed for this. Without it, the feature remains theoretical or depends on a smartphone mic, which is much less accurate.
