EverSolo DAC-Z6 DAC & Headphone Amplifier

EverSolo DAC-Z6

Overview

The EverSolo DAC-Z6 is a powerful DAC based on a neat technical structure. It embeds high-end components with notably two ESS ES9068AS digital/analog conversion chips and a XMOS XU316 USB interface allowing it to support high resolution audio streams and to provide a clear and detailed sound reproduction. The DAC-Z6 also offers a wide range of features making it a versatile and efficient device.

ES9068AS Dual DAC

The heart of the DAC-Z6, its digital-to-analog conversion stage, is equipped with a pair of ESS ES9068AS chips. These ensure low distortion and noise for a seamless high-fidelity music experience. This balanced structure also greatly reduces interference that could alter the integrity of the audio signal. In addition, the DAC-Z6's audio circuitry is specifically calibrated to deliver its full potential.

XMOS XU316 USB interface

The USB input of the DAC-Z6 is combined with an XMOS XU316 interface, which is able to process audio data quickly and efficiently for optimal signal transmission. This chip also supports high-resolution streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512 Native, as well as MQA files.

MQA

The EverSolo DAC-Z6 supports the decoding of MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) files from its USB, Toslink optical and coaxial inputs. This format allows to enjoy a sound quality as close as possible to the original studio recording.

High precision clocks

The DAC-Z6 is equipped with two very high precision clocks on the frequencies 45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz. These allow you to enjoy a high quality decoding, ensuring a very low jitter for a detailed and accurate sound.

Amplifier circuit & Balanced preamp output

The DAC-Z6's analog audio circuitry is fully balanced and uses multiple OPAs. The XLR, RCA and headphone outputs are all processed by a balanced differential amplifier circuit ensuring low noise and improved channel separation. The high-fidelity preamplifier circuitry provides precise and efficient volume control.

Bluetooth 5.0

In addition to full connectivity, the DAC-Z6 features a Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.0 receiver, making it possible to stream music remotely from a smartphone or tablet, for example, while supporting the high-resolution aptX HD and LDAC transmission codecs for high-quality wireless playback.

Digital filters

The EverSolo DAC-Z6 provides 3 sets of digital filters, each with different sound characteristics. These allow you to adapt the sound reproduction of the device according to your listening preferences and your audio system.

Low ripple power supply stage

A low-noise power supply stage and capacitor filter have been specially optimized for the DAC-Z6. They provide a clean, interference-free electrical signal to all of the unit's audio circuits for rich, accurate sound reproduction.

A powerful headphone amplifier

The DAC-Z6's headphone amplifier also performs very well and is capable of providing comfortable power to accompany headphones with impedance from 16 to 300Ω without difficulty. This one also has a two-step gain control to accommodate both demanding headphones and more sensitive earphones.

Control app

The DAC-Z6 can be controlled via the free EverSolo Control App available on Android and iOS. The latter allows access to the vast majority of the settings available on the device.

Color Screen & Intuitive Interface

The front panel of the DAC-Z6 features a beautiful 3" color LCD screen. This one displays an ergonomic and intuitive interface allowing you to access all the functions and parameters of the DAC.

Multi-function button

The DAC's multi-function knob can be used to control the volume level, navigate menus, select a source or output, change filters, change the display, etc. It allows full control of the device in a convenient way.

Aluminum frame

The EverSolo DAC-Z6 is dressed in a beautiful, sturdy aluminum chassis that has been precision-machined by CNC (numerical control). It offers a modern and sober design, allowing it to be easily integrated into any audio system.
