New Eversolo DMP-A10


Anybody see this thing that recently launched? Eversolo DMP-A10 https://www.eversolo.com/Product/index/model/DMP-A10/target/%5Bld%5DyN%2BvBjptVBKKmVViAFMcQ%3D%3D.html#/ which is a step up from the A8, just like the A8 was a step up from A6.

It sells for $3680 which is an unusual number, but the A8 had a weird price too. That extra money gets a much more impressive, larger enclosure, better DAC section, better power supply, improved clocking, isolation for better signal purity, and a bunch of other tweaks for sound quality. Features are expanded too, with room correction being the main thing but there are some more little things too.

I'm a sucker for Eversolo and will definitely be picking this up at some point soon. I feel like if this was sold by another brand it would cost way more money.

Remember, when buying a streamer you are buying a package. Hardware and support. The best hardware is junk without good software to control it

The frustrating part is it’s not my A6, it’s my Dad’s. I told him to buy a Bluesound , Innuos , or Aurender. He bought into the hype. Several morons on their forum thought I was an idiot for not letting summit swap it .... that would only leave Amir with another bad unit and me with no resolve. It’s not "broken" , their engineers apparently don’t understand the importance of updates being cumulative and including all device profiles from previous updates.

It cost me $100 for a work around, a Coax . If he had a large DSD 128 or higher collection he would be out of luck with no USB.

Their support is go to some site not even affiliated with them , McBluna.net and find older versions of FW to roll back FW. This contradicted their initial response which was rolling back firmware is "dangerous" They blamed ancillary devices and cables. Their firmware caused no USB out immediately after reboot.

I completely ripped them on their forum and targeted Instagram ads and someone supposedly from Eversolo finally reached out. Too late, would never buy or recommend an Eversolo product. Decent box , terrible support. Real POS outfit.

I tried using that Chinese tariff argument on my wife to justify a new round of equipment upgrades but she was unimpressed 

With all the comments on poor support, I'm giving it a hard pass, Chinese tariffs or not.

I had A8 for 6 months or so. Overall it was ok as streamer. dAC was very digital sounding and thin.. my advise is stay clear from Chinese attractive affairs. The software was pretty good..

I settled with Aurender which is great in both hardware and software. App is not at par with eversolo but it is stable. Sounds quality is no match

I asked Eversolo if they can remotely access the device to correct the problem like Aurender and Innuos can....  no response.     They suck.   

Absolute worst customer service in my 40 years in this hobby.
