In my A6 , I can setup music （up-scale) to play in 192 kHz mode, but in A10? No way to up-scale music in A10？
According to Eversolo: DDC (upscale music to 192kHz) function is available when Digital signals from USB audio input, coaxi-al/optical input。 I use music from internal SSD or NAS。Is this is the reason why I can not upscale music？ I also connect A10 to Accuphase through XLR 。 In the past when I use A6, no problem at all。 I do need help！Thanks in advance。
I think DDC refers to digital in followed by digital out being possible, it does not imply resampling to a different sampling rate. On the A6 as you say you can resample by turning off EOS and changing the setting for sampling rate. Based on threads on the A8, this latter setting is not present so resampling not possible on the A8. It sounds like this is also the case on the A10 unfortunately.
Upsampling in theory seems a good thing, but in reality the signal has to undergo various technical measures not to experience digital artefacts. These measures are well known in OS DACS because they all do upsampling. The quality of the preventive measures differ in good or poor designs.
This means I bought the A10, which was completely unnecessary. There are also a lot of other problems I've read about on this forum. Since I have an Axur 851C CD player with 24-bit/192kHz resolution, Toslink input, and USB input, I just ordered a cheap WiiM Pro streaming player with 24/192 quality. This saves me the $3900 cost and gives me great sound for a ridiculously small price, along with a great WiiM app. And now I'm done with my EverSolo problems.
All the things we purchase for Hifi are unnecessary. I guess you have to blame yourself a tiny bit. You wanted the A10 and bought it without being aware that it doesn't have a feature you so urgently want. I wouldn't throw in the towel just because of this. The A10 is a top tier device and you always have the option to play music mastered in 24/192. If you insist on upsampling there are software solutions like Roon, Audirvana and HQPlayer.
It has a function called fixed resolution, with which you can force to resample to the resolution specified, max 24/192. I don't use it in combination with my headphone amp, i prefer bit perfect.
Just out of curiosity i tried the FiiO Warmer R2R DAC. It combines the three worst things for ASR Ideologists, NOS, Tubes and R2R. So, you can say, broken as it can get, but sounds quite pleasing for my aged ears.
I already have a WiiM Pro Plus connected – it cost me $220. I connected it directly to the amplifier (it has a built-in Dać 24/192), and Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect play very well. AKM is AKM, though. This one has the AK 4493SEQ, and it plays perfectly. I've already reached an agreement with the seller, and I'm returning the A10 for a refund of $3,800. And all these problems with the A10 are skyrocketing. So far, EverSolo hasn't solved many of the problems reported on the forum. Listening to WiiM now, I think EverSolo is way too expensive for what the market offers.
That is beyond me, but a man's will is his kingdom. All that remains to hope for is that you get from the Pro Plus what you expected from the A10.
I do see points in view here, however in overall terms,,of wants and desires and some basic principles in common sense, $.220.00 , absolutely quite different than a individuals Opinion of a total cost ratio in application in a comparative nature of approximately $.3800 , quite a substantial difference, absolutely a man’s house is his castle in accordance with his wills and desires , but he certainly must possess the ability to perhaps see problems and unforeseen circumstances that are more than likely very quickly approaching perhaps on the horizon as these are not rumors of , But of extremely accurate true and factual informational in nature , Again not necessarily, but I can absolutely see his point of view, quite a bit of very stiff competition out there, especially with the big teams that require that type of entrance fee The DMP A8 in which I still possess and use on a daily basis as in 8 to 12 hours a day in continuous play in background music, Internet Radio etc., however, even as such $.1980.00 as a basic cost ratio , but again great substantial difference of $.3800, personally, speaking for myself only absolutely not for me. I don’t believe I would roll the dice in regards to the current situations still at hand, Hindsight is always 20/20 , However, I’d rather stay within my current Field of view. please have a nice week weekend everyone enjoy the music
Of course, harmonic tube distortion has been the "thing" for a long time. I'd just be careful about the over-20k rendereing... your tweeters will be hoping you don't feed them with all that frying stuff...
Hi, I cannot fully or ever understand where tube equipment in general absolutely without question does have its definite drawbacks, In part of some of these ongoing conversations, I use a total of approximately 30 tubes naturally this is within two channel Stereo use, Throughout the many years of using all types of tube equipment and devices are very good and reputable manufacturers, Conrad Johnson , audio research, wavelength, etc. I must honestly admit I have absolutely have had a few very minor tube or valve replacement in approximately the last 10 to 15 years, It is beyond my comprehension. I seriously can’t understand why I never had or encountered any negative sonic problems what so ever ,Now I will say there can be a little excessive heat, especially during the summer months in which is not a hindrance to myself as the tube equipment is early in use personally speaking this is more of a winter time hobby again just speaking for me, now this could lie within my particular system as I am using a fully loaded horn speaker system, even with some of the best solid state equipment it just just does not seem to work out too well within this particular system, all The magic just seems to disappear not that it sounds totally undesirable, but I can absolutely tell sonically speaking when experimenting. I have often read in some pro diy equipment and technical journals.my particular speakers like to see an output transformer. That’s what I do admire about McIntosh as close as I have came. Yes, they are solid state amps do use output Transformers just like the old Altec amps not all their amps, but the majority of. I do fully equate and understand not everyone’s cup of tea and vice versa. Oh well I was always a believer and still am whatever to you’re liking or so it goes Yes, it can be an absolute inconvenience at rare times but to me well worth it personally and preferably speaking, I May have come a constant too all the odd and even order harmonic distortion however even a 30 or 40 years younger than my present age, I can honestly say I have never heard any distortion that would be sonically degrading in anyway perhaps it is what you are used to throughout the decades of past, However, as of this point in time, I’ll keep my tube here. I am extremely happy and extremely satisfied. also, in all the years passed using predominantly tube equipment of all types, I can honestly state that I never ever ruined or blown any driver, regardless of the volume or gain level, But I have blown a driver or two with SS equipment as a matter of fact, quite a few times can’t quite figure that out , Whatever gets you through the night is all right with me. ☝️ it’s extremely difficult to replicate a 300 B amp of good quality. There are some excellent folks at present working on it, but the fact still remains often copied but never duplicated. If you know of such an amp, please let me know seriously. However, pass Labs absolutely ironically, showed the best in solid state MOSFET, they absolutely do make some of the best SS Preamp and amps I have heard the date, note the DMP A8, that particular AKM Dac, in that specific unit sounds absolutely fantastic along with the Eversolo Z8, Which can be just a tad bit raw way up on the top end, but very likable sonically speaking in my opinion or specific particular system setup, please have a wonderful day everyone and a wonderful weekend. Enjoy.
