Things to Know

Eversolo DMP-A6

  • Does not come with a physical remote control (app control or optional purchase).
  • Internal DAC is excellent, but the unit is often used purely as a streamer transport for even higher-end DACs.
  • Boot-up time is slower than a simple DAC (runs a modified Android OS).

Fosi Audio K5 Pro

  • Microphone input has no gain control; volume depends entirely on the OS/Console settings.
  • The internal DAC is limited to 24-bit/96kHz, which is lower than most audiophile competitors.
  • Tone controls can introduce distortion if cranked to maximum.
