The Eversolo DMP-A10 is a network player and DAC of the highest quality and incredible versatility. A true centerpiece of a modern Hi-Fi system, it offers a wide range of possibilities: from local file playback to access to a music library from network devices or favorite streaming applications. A carefully thought-out design also ensures the purest and most accurate sound reproduction. The model uses the proprietary EOS (Eversolo Original Sampling-rate Audio Engine) operating system, which supports audio output at any sampling rate. In other words, when playing any audio file, you can completely bypass the SRC limitation in Android, supporting the transmission of audio from third-party applications for perfectly accurate playback. The DMP-A10 supports almost all available high-resolution file formats, including CD (FLAC, WAV, APE), DSD512 (.dsf, .dff, .iso, .dst), as well as stereo and multichannel streams.
Hybrid DACs with separate sections
The DMP-A10’s audio decoding is handled by two chips - the AK4499EX (analog section) and AK4191EQ (digital section). This design minimizes the impact of digital noise on the analog output, resulting in a noticeable improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio. The DAC supports high-resolution audio streams up to PCM 32-bit 768 kHz and DSD512, as well as MQA file decoding.
The DMP-A10 DSP processor
is also equipped with a powerful DSP processor built on the AK7739VQ chip and has a DSP volume control, parametric equalizer, FIR filters, HPF/LPF filtering, low-frequency enhancement, compressor and delay control.
LCD Touch Screen
The 6-inch high-definition LCD touch screen, perfectly integrated into the aluminum body of the DMP-A10, ensures practical and ergonomic use. The user interface is designed to be as intuitive as possible. Thus, all parameters and information of the player can be accessed through this beautiful interface.
High-speed SSD support
DMP-A10 is equipped with 4GB DDR RAM + 64GB eMMC built-in, allowing you to use a variety of applications. The slot, compatible with up to 4TB M.2 NVME 2280 solid-state drive (SSD not included), is designed for installation without removing the cover, allowing you to store music locally and access it very quickly. In addition, using an SSD instead of a hard drive can reduce the temperature and vibration of the device.
Power Supply
In order to eliminate mutual interference and noise between the system circuit and the audio circuit, and to enhance the purity of the sound, EverSolo has adopted a dual power supply design for the turntable’s power supply. The linear power supply consists of a toroidal transformer specially designed to match the characteristics of analog audio circuits. The high-quality switching power supply is specially designed for the system circuit, which greatly reduces ripple and magnetic leakage interference, and provides reliable support for high-quality digital audio processing. In addition, it incorporates patented intelligent switching technology for the linear power supply input voltage, ensuring compatibility with voltages worldwide without the need for manual switching.
Audio Components
The sound quality of the DMP-A10 analog output is monitor-grade. The audio circuit elements include WIMA capacitors from Germany, NICHCON special audio capacitors, Murata IC capacitors and Omron relays from Japan, TI Audio operational amplifiers from the USA, and more. The goal is to provide a more authentic and pure sound.
Volume Control Circuit
The fully balanced analog volume control circuit, consisting of precision resistors and relays, provides precise volume control, effectively suppressing distortion and noise in the analog signal. It is also equipped with volume protection, automatically reducing excessive volume to a designated safe level during startup or switching of the input interface. The inclusion of an R2R analog volume control ensures that the DAC can always operate in an optimal state.
The DMP-A10’s full range of ports
can be used as a digital player, connecting to a variety of high-end DACs via I2S HDMI, USB, optical or coaxial outputs. As a DAC, it also has a variety of digital inputs: two coaxial, two optical, and a USB-B for connecting a computer or smartphone. As a high-performance preamplifier, the device is equipped with a balanced XLR input and an unbalanced RCA input. In addition, the DMP-A10 features Bluetooth 5.0, allowing easy wireless connection to a wide range of sources. Finally, the DMP-A10 can be directly connected to active speakers or a power amplifier via the unbalanced RCA outputs and balanced XLR outputs. A trigger output completes the package, allowing the DMP-A10 to be integrated into an automatic power-on circuit.
XMOS 316 and clock generators
The DMP-A10 is equipped with a third-generation XMOS 316 USB interface, which ensures flawless reception and decoding of USB audio streams. It supports audio streams up to PCM 32-bit 768 kHz, DSD up to DSD512 and MQA. For optical ports (coaxial and Toslink), they support DSD 64 (DoP) and PCM 192 24-bit.
Like the upgraded DMP-A6 Master Edition, the DMP-A10 features two Accusilicon femtosecond high-precision, ultra-low phase noise clocks for the audio decoding circuit (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz), which correspond to decoding multiplication of 44.1kHz and 48kHz sampling rates respectively. This effectively suppresses jitter, enabling high-precision conversion and decoding of digital-to-analog audio signals, delivering ultra-high dynamic range and resolution at the output. Upgraded OPA1612 op amps with ultra-low noise and low distortion (0.000015% at 1kHz) further enhance this effect.
MQA Decoder
The DMP-A10 includes an MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) decoder, allowing you to play this type of file and enjoy sound quality as close as possible to the original studio recording. In addition, MQA streams are lightweight enough for streaming.
CD Playback and Ripping
The DMP-A10 has the ability to play CDs from an external drive connected via USB. The built-in CD Rip application uses a data verification mechanism and an error correction function to save audio data from a CD without loss. The application’s algorithm intelligently matches album and song titles on CDs (officially released CDs are required), rips tracks without loss, and automatically generates album and artist information.
Bluetooth 5.0
For Bluetooth 5.0 reception, the DMP-A10 uses the Qualcomm QCC5125 chip. It supports SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD and LDAC high-definition transmission codecs, allowing you to enjoy high-quality audio playback via Bluetooth.
Balanced Circuitry
The DMP-A10 preamplifier is equipped with a balanced analog circuitry from the DAC chip to the XLR and RCA stereo outputs. This limits noise and separation channel provides better signal quality.
Network capabilities
The DMP-A10 provides access to popular music streaming platforms and web radio stations such as Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music, Apple Music, HighResAudio and Paradise Radio, allowing you to enjoy your music without restrictions.
