The DMP-A6 in a nutshell is an Eversolo DAC Z6 with a new Eversolo developed Music Player (EOS) controlled via an upgraded to 6 inch Front Panel. This similar to the 5 inch one found on the Neo models, but 1 inch added to its width. A matching APP for Smartphones is the other way to control it.
The processor is specified as a Quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 which looks to me like a stripped version of RTD1619 with video features removed but upgraded to stripped Android 11. I hope it is a bit faster regarding clocking speed.

It claims using quality crystal clocking via HDMI which will be good for any sound reproduced via that output and will beat a Neo S there for sure. It also will do DSD MCH like a Neo Alpha has on offer. I just hope this time sound will be concurrently available via both HDMI and Analog outputs. Not offering that would be a big miss in my simple view.
Curious enough it has no Headphone amplifier build-in.

Depending on the price it can be attractive to get dedicated Zidoo players for Video and Music this way. Seen the pricing of Eversolo thus far I am optimistic here. I hope Zidoo will be so smart to get dedicated Remote Controls device ID's for each, better even making it configurable.

- Please comment on the 2 questions in italic.
- There is a disturbing typo on the main intro text "A New Epoch Is Beginning" (DAP-A6 => DMP-A6)

Now being shown on Futeko with a planned availability in May.

Sounds interesting. One feature would be essential : Can the DMP-A6 play multichannel sound from Roon?

 

Very interested. Please add me to the product launch notification list. Beta testing available and have exhaustive experience in this area. Any early indication of price yet?

 

First priority for me would also be getting a quality/flawless FW for the DMP-A6 (and I hope the Neo models next). This to allow entry to this demanding music market.
I am happy to see that a lot of my observation list for Music Player already made it to the functional specifications.

My suggestions for a DMP-A8 version:
- Make it a full rack size this time
- Use a much faster processor which never harms.
- Obviously using a superior DAC and headphone amplifier build. This preferable similar to Neo X
- Provide it at least with a Hybrid PSU or even a full linear PSU
- Add USB-C front port(s), Headphone plug(s) and the OLED panel control buttons of Neo X to the extra front space available
- A full 6 (or 8) channel DAC Analog panel would be nice for those playing MCH Audio and having AMP's with discrete inputs.
- it would be a great feature to direct digital inputs via the DOH chips to HDMI as such improving potentially the sound of the source connected to those inputs.
- Optional: space for a 2.5 inch HDD which may be fixed mounted from the back.

 

i would be curious if this is able to play multichannel audio from SACD-Iso Files on a SMB Network share with output on HDMI

 

In that case, this would be an end game for me streamer for me... and if it could support Roon multichannel…

 

iso might be tricky dsf could maybe work

 

For me the RAAT (Roon) integraton will be of essence. Multichannel DSD over HDMI would definitely be the icing on the cake and put an end to my quest.
Very much looking forward to that one...

 

Currently the Neo S is selling at around 1000 USD with 1TB SSD in it in my country. Wondering is it worth it or shall i just wait for the DMP-A6. Mainly i will be using it to store my music files and played through it only. Thanks.

 

Should work on this model too. Except Neo Alpha doing that with Native DSD other models will do DSD MCH => PCM MCH instead.
Do that myself via USB and/or SATA HDD's all the time. For sure this does it with native DSD as it is explicitly stated in specifications.

I am myself very curious to see how good the DMP-A6 music player actually is going to be.
The HW looks excellent again but that was not the real big problem.

 

Yes, you are right, but what we want is that the DMP-A6 do it like Neo Alpha: DSD Native without conversion.

 

Yes. support multichannel audio from SACD-Iso Files on a SMB Network share

 

But does it stream DSD native without conversion to PCM?

If that is right, I only need price and availability in Spain.

 

Support Roon multichannel(PCM)

 

Of course it does and better than any music player before as it uses a special design to optimize HDMI output.

 

Are you sure?

In the specs we can read: "2x DOH chips, support HDMI DSD Native and D2P multi-channel output."

D2P stand for DSD to PCM

 

Still enough AMP's around without DSD support also TV's and Soundbars mostly don't support DSD. The need for 2 DOH may be due to 2x ES9038q2m DAC's being used here? Anyway good to have that on-board.

The Music Player can then always just output DSD Native and when or where needed/desired the DOH chips will do DSD => PCM. No CPU overhead with that as this is CPU resource critical on the current implementation with above all MCH SACD.
Looks just great to me above all combined with ultra stable HDMI clocking which mainly favors PCM.
In fact it may become difficult to even hear the difference? Lets wait and hear.

Seen already 2 TByte M2 SSD's at € 105 so that is great for no noise at all playing music.
A question I have if BD Pure Audio and DVD-Audio ever can be played on these things too? Without any moving pictures in concept it should be possible.

 

Three Questions;
1. You said:

Will it support it from an attached USB drive or internal SSD?

2. Are both DSD and PCM multichannel gapless? Most players have issues with that. Stereo or mono is usually not an issue.

3. Perhaps I missed it here or elsewhere, but what is the MSRP this until will sell for?

 

My guess is you would have to rip them and extract the audio. DVD-A and BR-A have always needed some form of video just to navigate menus. This was an "advantage" (loosely) of SACD. Selecting the layer was always more straightforward.
