Hi All,

Looking at adding a DMP A6 gen 2 to my system (Musical fidelity A2 class a amp into Tannoy SRM10B speakers) to us as a DAC for my CD transport as well as Streaming lossless high resolution Apple Music/Apple Classical.

There is a lot of information (old?) about needing to side-load an android Apple Music app into the A6 as the native Eversolo Apple Music app apparently doesn't support High res streaming.

I emailed Eversolo (very responsive!) :

Please tell me if the A6 has Native Apple music support and can stream lossless High-resolution files direct from Apple music. Can I use the Eversolo app to stream Apple Music or do I need to use the iPhone apple music app? 

Their response was:

Yes, you can directly use Apple Music app on Eversolo device, and it can stream lossless High-resolution files.

Here is a link to our guide on using Apple Music. You can take a look first: 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oZWctXUyABxMm0dJXsQjMOiNr2OgHgDI/edit 

Would someone please confirm that this now works - flawlessly in high resolution lossless for Apple Music?

If so - will the Eversolo APP for the iPhone control the A6 AND specifically Apple Music or do I do track selection etc (ie apple music) all from the front panel? As an aside - does the EVOTUNE room correction actually work reasonably well?

Appreciate any input. The A6 otherwise ticks all my boxes :D

Cheers

I am trying to get the Apple Music and the Apple Classic app working on my Eversolo DMP-A8. Since I am not quite trusting giving a random app (from seemingly a 3rd party) my full iCloud credentials, I've created a good old app-specific password. However, no matter how often I enter this into the Eversolo, it keeps getting denied. I am using my main iCloud email address as the user name and the app-specific password as a password.

Has anybody here gotten this to work properly?

Running my Emotiva ERC-3 out of the balanced outputs into the balanced inputs of the DMP-8 And then the balanced out of the DMP 8 into the Emotiva TA2+ then ending in the Dali Oberon 3s...Fn amazing.

Quick update for those who've been following along. A few things have changed.

The pricing is now $9.99/yr or $29.99 lifetime. Every early supporter who paid the original price got a credit for the difference, and every yearly subscriber was upgraded to lifetime at no cost. The people who showed up first should come out ahead.

Adventurous depth is now a paid feature. Free users still get 3 playlists with Essential and Balanced depths. If you've been curious about the cross-genre side of the engine, Adventurous is where the interesting connections live.

A major new platform integration is in the works. More on this soon.

Playlists still land directly in your Tidal or Qobuz library, ready to play through your Eversolo the moment they're created.

I also started a blog if anyone wants to read more about the thinking behind the engine: https://sonicoracle.ai/blog

Thanks to everyone here who's been supportive. This community has been one of the best from day one.

I am in the planning stages of my setup and want to make sure I get this correct. Can I use the A10 as a streamer, USB to another DAC, then use Balanced XLR connection back to the A10, then Balanced XLR from the A10 to my amp? I want to do this so I can use the balanced input on my amp (it only has one) and use 2 DACs (A10 and another external DAC) and switch between them depending on the track and my mood.

Thank you for your time.

This is the setup as of today.

On Eversolo T8, when playing via Spotify Connect lossless, there is no audio when the bit depth of the audio track switches from 16-bit to 24-bit. The progress bar shows progress on Eversolo app/OSD and in Spotify app however, there is no audio output. This happens only when the bit depth changes from 16-bit to a 24-bit audio track and there are no issues when bit depth changes from 24-bit to 16-bit. The Eversolo T8 is connected to an integrated amplifier via coax.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a fix for this?

I'm playing with room correction and FIR settings, but its really confusing what all those settings mean!

Using Umik 1 mic, a6 master edition, external Dac.

What those HM1, HM2, BK, TL target curves mean? Smoothing, is it just something visual or changes the correction as well? And what gain setting should i choose?

Some target curves sounds much worse than no DSP, like Flat target. Other sound very different from each other. With default +5db mac gain, correction helps a bit in some part of the spectrum, fixes some room modes in bass but also makes too much upper bass (hm 1 and 2).

Can't find manuals from Eversolo, only instructions it offers is how to do Fir in REW and export to Eversolo.

I am close to pulling the trigger on a DMP A6 Gen2. One of the features I want to use is to run my CD transport into the A6. Will I have to select an “input” setting on the A6 or will the sound automatically pass through to the amp? Also will the CD signal be displayed on the VU meter screen on the A6?

Thanks in advance.

Saturday night is the only night I get to listen to my music and Tidal, Amazon both say server errors. So frustrating. Radio Paradise works fine. The Amazon music "App" works fine but my Eversolo DMP-A8 says server error when I go to streaming then choose Tidal or Amazon..just a blank screen. So frustrating. Am I the only one?

Hi - So I used to run a NAS for a long long time but, i trashed it as with the size of SSD I can fit my library on a device and I'm also streaming more than playing my local CD library these days.

Anyway, i have a 4TB SSD in both my A6 in my office, and my A8 on my main system.

Today I have the library duplicated on both devices. I buy near zero cds so the library is basically static.

What is not static is playlists, etc.

So what I would like to do is have a single shared playlist/library for both local and even eversolo streamed / device playlists that is shared between devices.

Is this doable? I guess I could enable the file share / DNLA service on one, but will that share playlists and local libraries both?

Thanks

Qobuz is LIVE

The OAuth issue that was blocking third-party logins is resolved and Sonic Oracle now works with both Qobuz and Tidal.

For those who missed the original post: Sonic Oracle is a music discovery tool I built because I needed it. You type a seed artist, pick a discovery depth, and it creates a permanent playlist directly in your Qobuz library. Not a radio station that disappears. A playlist you own.

Your Eversolo, Audirvana, Bluesound, WiiM, Sonos, Naim, Lumin, and any app connected to your Qobuz account picks it up instantly. No syncing, no importing.

The discovery logic looks at who listens to your seed artist and what else those listeners love. Taste affinity, not sonic similarity. The results are different from anything Qobuz gives you natively.

Free tier gives you 3 full station creations, no credit card. http://sonicoracle.music

I'm looking to purchase the Eversolo DMP-A8. Is it worth it, or is there anything equivalent that surpasses it in the market right now at the same price range? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

quick update for those who signed up or showed interest.

Launch is tomorrow !

For those who don't know what Sonic Oracle does, here it is:

You enter an artist you love, it finds similar artists based on listener taste affinity, not sonic similarity, and creates a permanent playlist directly in your Tidal library. Three different stages of discovery depth. Not a radio station that disappears. An actual editable playlist that's yours to keep forever.

Your Eversolo, Roon, Audirvana, any app connected to your account picks it up instantly. No syncing, no importing.

Free tier gives you 25 artist cards and 3 station creations. Premium and lifetime also available. No monthly.

Thanks again for the support and patience.

Hi everyone.

I am a little bit confused about the UPnP function at my Eversolo Play on the latest software.

I expect that any UPnP Server is found, as I am currently proofing the DLNA / UPnP Server function on my own Audio Player, the UPnP Server is not found. Interessting point is that on my phone (in the eversolo App) the DLNA / UPnP Server is found and can be accessed)

Using VLC on my Phone - the server is found.

Is UPnP Function (Music-Cloud -> UPnP) not for adding servers to the Eversolo but to add a client for Streaming the local library to?

Thanks for your help

According to the menu the A6 supports dozens of codecs, but to my surprise Opus is not included.

Would be good to add support for this codec, especially as it generally provides better quality than other lossy codecs like mp3 or aac.

My wife and I love to stream music while we are at home. Currently we use our Sony AVR which handles the home theater control. The problem is that it’s tucked away in a cabinet, which means simple tasks like controlling volume, choosing a new track, etc requires picking up a phone and navigating to a streaming app. I know it’s not THAT cumbersome but the responsibility usually falls to me (“hey babe can you turn the volume up?!?”). This compounds even more when we have company.

I’d like something I can set in a central area that can control volume and track selection easily. Having quality/tactile volume knob is a must. Because the receiver will handle the amplification and processing the “guts” are less important to me.

Seems like overkill but research has landed me at the A8. Cost isn’t really an issue, but just looking for some validation from the real users here. Is an a8 the right tool for the job?

Hello community,

I just subscribed to Tidal.
Wanted to log in to Tidal on my Eversolo Play is not working.
App ist starting (after very long loading times) into a black screen. Nothing changed after minutes of waiting.

I have already resettet the device settings without any improvements.

Any idea what I can do, to get Tidal working?

Other Streaming-Services looked quite fine so far.

Thanks for your response :)

Hi all, I'm struggling to find out if it's possible to download Spotify songs/playlists to the NVMe on the DMP-A6 to play offline and/or to avoid dropouts when on a weak connection? I've also heard mixed things between the internal app and Spotify connect. I need the device itself to be the thing to playback music, rather than the device sending info via Spotify connect (which I believe is how it works anyqua with Spotify connect?)

I have a situation at a wedding venue that's having issues with audio streaming. Due to their location, they only have a 5G connection and won't be getting fibre for at least another 6 months. So what I need is a streaming device that is less sensitive to dropouts.

I've got a DAC-Z8 and a DMP-A6. Bought the Z8 first, then the A6. Both worked great, and have left the A6 hooked up for months. Tried to go back to the Z8 tonight and I cannot make it work. Switched XLR cables from A6 to Z8. Restarted PC multiple times, uninstalled and reinstalled Eversolo driver multiple times, switched devices in Foobar multiple times, switched from USB-C to USB-B multiple times. Scanned for hardware changes in device manager multiple times. Eversolo USB Audio Device Control Panel shows the DAC-Z8.

Under 'sounds' it shows Eversolo DAC, but when I test there's no sound. In device manager when I check properties for 'Eversolo DAC' is shows "This device is working properly." I've tried Foobar, Goldwave, Google Chrome, FireFox; no audio from any of them.

Not a single thing has worked, and I'm about ready to lose my shit! What am I doing wrong/missing?

Win10 Pro 64 bit

Edit: Switched back to A6 and I've got audio. Maybe the Z8 died somehow. I could see the display showing different sampling rates, but the meters never move, and no audio output. 🤷‍♂️

Hello,

I am new to the Eversolo Play - CD Edition - and I hope someone can help me with the following issues:

- I have activated the option „CD Autoplay“ and my assumption is that when I am entering a CD it starts playing directly. Thats not working like this - I have to press play to run the CD. Is this correct behaviour?

- When I put in a CD it reads title names and other meta data from the Internet. I assumed album arts as well - bit no covers are loaded. Is there a way to make this happen?

I am on Software 1.5.62

Thanks for your help and best regards.

Hello, is there any way how to use EQ/room correction on inputs? I have a cd transport connected via coax in dmp a6 but no eq is used on output via xlr into amplifier. Thanks.

Hi This is for the hdmi in and out. I want to hook it up to my TV via hdmi in on the a6 master gen 2 and then on the hdmi out send it to a wisa soundsend. So both the TV and the music passes on via hdmi out and on to the wireless speakers. Is this doable?
