Thanks for your videos. Can you connect an optical digital in, (a TV for example) and still use the USB out to an integrated amplifier? If I select the Optical In, I'm only given the options to use analog out. Essentially, I'm trying to bypass the Eversolo DAC and test it against use the DAC in my Hegel H190 integrated amp. Thanks again.
I don’t believe so. The DMP only seems to allow digital outputs when using “internal player”. It feels like it should be possible to do this - maybe it’s a circuitry limitation. File an enhancement request with them ?
Thank you so much for your videos we learn all for eversolo I have the master edision Do we need a dac for real? The sound from analog it's great I will use also your advice for better sound for the internal ssd and I see
@thorbampougias311 glad you like the videos. Sound is very subjective and ultimately is personal. The DMP-A6 ME is VERY good in my mind, add the potential of an equalizer and you can tweak it. That said, when I compared pure DMP-A6 ME output vs my DAC, I personally felt my DAC was a bit more open/richer and mid-range improved even more. But it's VERY Subtle, right now I loaned my DAC to a friend - and I'm enjoying the DMP-A6 as is.
Another reason to use usb out to your dac is that usb uses the clock on the dac. While spidf uses the clock on the eversolo. Typically, a good dac is going to have a better clock thus getting better sound
@TheBeardedLibertarian ultimately sound is objective. Assuming you are referring to the Topping E70 DAC, that's a very good DAC imho. And rated quite high at: www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/topping-e70-stereo-dac-review.39188/ (122.8) vs the Eversolo built-in dac at (117). Maybe borrow one and see if you find it to be richer in sound.
@rajesht9694 since I already had the DAC, I did a comparison and to me it sounded richer, fuller, and soundstage more open going through it. So connected it, I'm continuing to play with it. Perhaps not surprising as it is rated higher on audioscience - www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/smsl-su-9-balanced-dac-review.16150/
Hi and thanks for the tutorial. My problem is I can't get sound out of that USB. Where does your USB cable go and what was the source? Thanks in advance @malbers
@@josephkelly478 make sure your cable is correct. That bottom USB port connects directly to the square USB on my DAC. You do need to set “output” to DAC in settings. And set input on your DAC to USB. What is your DAC ?
Thanks for asking. Only focused on the digital outputs vs analog in this video. But good point. Will think about adding in an upcoming video. I use XLR for my Focal headphones and RCA to amp.
@@malbersI try the optical with cd and if you use eversolo as dac the sound it's not good We use the eversolo with Rca for best sound with the dac of eversolo
Keep these videos coming!
@@joepasquarello1273 thanks so much. Will do. Lmk if you have any other suggestions / things you’d like to see. Thanks!
@@malbers A tutorial on the various streaming services would be beneficial.
@@joepasquarello1273 oh good, suggestion. Will add that to the list!
Thanks for sharing.
You bet! Thanks for watching!! More coming soon.

@alexlopez-u3i oh yes, thanks for adding that! All the more reason. Especially if you have the standard DMP-A6 vs ME. Thanks for the addition!
So, if I connect A6 to a DAC by coax, do I will use the clock of the DAC the same?
The usb cable that goes to the dac is usb c to USB c or USB A to USB A?
Actually it’s a USB type A - standard USB (what plugs into Eversolo) to a USB type B - looks like printer plug (DAC input).
What if my eversolo doesn’t have the hdmi out…is there a way to connect to an AVR ?
Would I use the spidif ?
It should have HDMI out. But in that case indeed use spdif or optical. Unless it can take a USB signal. Depends on AVR.
Hi Malbers, What RCA cables are you using?
These are great! I use them across the board (vinyl etc) made a huge difference. From “Morrow Audio” - www.morrowaudio.com/
@@malbers Thanks are they the MA1?
@@alf3268 I splurged for the MA3 Interconnects. Felt it was a good middle ground price wise.
is there that big of a difference with the AK4191 dac? Is it worth the 500us?

Why did you external dac for eversolo? Smsl also have the same ess 9038 like eversolo

@@josephkelly478 the USB cable should look like this. a.co/d/1SBTOr4
@@malbers My DAC is the SMSL D6s and it's in USB but I still do not get sound. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. 🤦🏾♂️
@@malbers the USB DAC output on my eversolo is not active. When I select it , it says no USB device detected. I wish I could send photos .
@@josephkelly478 interesting. That to me means the DAC isn’t being recognized. So I think Bad cable. Or the DAC isn’t set to USB. Check that.
No mention of XLR??
Thanks for asking. Only focused on the digital outputs vs analog in this video. But good point. Will think about adding in an upcoming video. I use XLR for my Focal headphones and RCA to amp.
For me the best sound comes from rca you dont need any dac ,and dont use eversolo as dac
The hdmi sound also its great
@@thorbampougias311 it certainly also depends on your amp. However if you only use rca out from Eversolo - the Eversolo is actually acting as the DAC.
@@malbersI try the optical with cd and if you use eversolo as dac the sound it's not good
We use the eversolo with Rca for best sound with the dac of eversolo
Lol, I returned mine because I changed a setting and it effected my volume
What did you change ? Uh oh.
@malbers 🥱 I don't know. I bought a new one again and love it
@ oh awesome! Glad to hear that!
