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 SK02

  • No dedicated power switch; long-press the volume knob to turn on/off.
  • The volume status light flashes to indicate level changes, which some find annoying.
  • Form factor is tall and narrow; light weight means it can tip over if using heavy cables.
