Very interesting. I will have to look into this and try it in my own DMP-A6 Master Edition. I love how the thing sounds "as is", but what I saw/heard in this video and based on several of the comments, I think I may have a bit of a purchase to make.

Thank you for this review. I installed the LPS today and noticed an immediate difference. The vocals weren’t as forward, the soundstage was larger, the instrument separation was improved and greater clarity in older classical jazz. The most noticeable improvement was in high resolution lossless files. A lot more kick and punch out of the drums, less booming bass and more detailed presentation. For reference I listen to 2 channel pure direct through my Denon AV with Dali Opticon 2 speakers.

Installed the LPS-A6 in my Dmp-A6 a few days ago. I use the Eversolo as a streamer to my dac. Relatively big improvement, bigger and wider soundstage, quieter background, more micro-detail. Of course not as big an improvement as swapping the amplifier for a better one, but as big an improvement as changing a cable for a better one.

I have the master edition & installed the LPS several weeks ago so nicely burnt in. I would mirror Hans observations, subtle differences not night & day. The A6 already reveals so much detail I wasn’t expecting to be blown away but a more quieter background & separation which is what I get. I will say getting the spacers not to fall out whilst inserting the 4 screws was very fiddly (& I’m a mechanic used to such things) I would say though with the newly released A8 I’d wait & see what the reviews are like as the master edition with the beatechnik combo will be very close in price but for now I’m happy to recommend the LPS to anyone wishing to upgrade their existing A6. Hans I see you will be looking to review the new A8 could you ask zeedoo if they will be bringing out a master edition of that ?

Intervin cu o sugestie și bineînțeles cu scuzele necesare pentru intervenție. Foarte simplu pentru a rezolva problema fixării celor 4 inele, luați patru scobitori, scurtați la aproximativ 15 mm, introduceți-le în găurile de fixare, așezați inelele, apoi PCB LPS, scoateți capătul scobitorii la rândul său și fixați șurubul și continuați la toate cele patru fixări. Și atât de simplu s-a făcut totul, este nevoie de puțină imaginație.

A few days ago I did swap the powersupply Of my Eversolo master for a lps of Beattechnik. for now Iam very happy with the result. The difference between origanal and the lps is minor but it is there. As far as I can notice, there is a little more ' air' between the notes and the the musicimage is more forwards ( I hate this kind of terminology) Listening to Dire Straits Telegraph road, Mark Knopfler is bettter intelligible. Mark has a way of singing discribed as under his breath. The installation is not difficult . With the right tools and patience you do not need a technical degree of fixing the job. Be careful and put a towel under the screen of the frontpanel to prevent damage. What I noticed there is a cheap fuse in th lps. Perhaps there is some improvement to gain by replacing it by a better one. Honestly I did never succeed to hear any difference between fuses. But that is a an other topic..

Ende November kommt der Eversole A8 auf den Markt, der ein solch aufwendiges Netzteil integriert hat. Auch die DAC wurden gewechselt, um den analogen Klang näher zu kommen, DSP on Board, EQ und eine R2R Lautstärkeregelung. Die Frage für mich "lohnt sich solch Umbau überhaupt noch?" Ich habe nur den Eversolo A6 und finde den Klang schon sehr gut. Zumal der Rest einer Anlage auch dementsprechend gut sein muss, um das Potential überhaupt auszuschöpfen. Ich gehe davon aus, dass sehr hochwertige Anlagen auch eher mit noch hochwertigeren Streamern/DA Wandler... ausgestattet sind oder werden. Finde deine Einschätzung wertvoll. Interessant, was es alles so gibt 🙂

Thank you Hans for this good review. I added this LPS to my DMP-A6 ME used as a transport only, and it was definitely an improvement in soundstage, clarity, and very noticeable for the money. I was wondering whether you would consider the Aries G2.1 an upgrade over the DMP-A6 ME with LPS? With the issue of the G2.2, the previous version is now more affordable. Many thanks

Hi, Hans.. I have question for you. If use DMP A6 (Normal / Master Edition) as digital transport (music file from internal ssd or external ssd with external power supply), then connection to external DAC using USB cable. Not running streaming functionality at all. So, in this condition, upgrading DMP A6 (Normal/ Master Edition) will improve the sound quality significantly ?? 🙏

After watching reviews of A8 and finding out that it has band equalizers, I went to settings in my A6 and for short period of time it also had band equalizers😊 . Couple days later it disappeared.

Unfortunately I do not have any evidence of that but I was happy for that couple of days tinkering with eq. Unfortunately it was removed, I assume with an update. I wish they kept it and had it available on A6. Did any of you guys also experienced band eq on eversolo dmp-A6 for short period of time?

@toddt5562

I use my Master Edition as a transport only, and yes the power supply upgrade did indeed have a noteworthy impact on sound quality in my case as well. Results were quite similar to what Hans describes in the video. Of course your results could vary, depending on the rest of your system and its ability to resolve small differences in the signal from the digital transport. My system is in the $25,000 price range overall. Although I'd say for most people, at just $286, the LHY LPS is an easy recommendation for an upgrade.

Wifi will sound better if the wifi band at your location isn't too crowded. Ethernet cable will definitely sound better when you use an audio grade switch or filter.

You mention differences is sound quality due to "analogue" transmission of digital data. However: Do the differences actually change "zeros" to "ones"? Would such errors not get picked up by the transmission error checks ? How does timing differences from the streamer affect the sound quality? Does modern DAC's not unpack the packets of data it receive using their own clocks???

@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel

The ones and zero's tay in tact, it's the pollution/distortion of the digital signal that causes timing errors during the digital to analog conversion or cause jitter at flip-flops (a kind of digital switches). It's the same ins witches, see kzread.info/dash/bejne/jHd62KuzqrDXls4.html

@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel

It happens more that a manufacturer or distributor lets you have the review sample. It it's a relatively cheap unit coming from China, it is often too expensive to re-import it into China. But if it is the price of the Eversoolo's, normally the distributor wants it back. I seldom keep review samples of this value when offered but in the case of the Eversolo I wanted it as a reference since it is really very good sounding. I never want to discuss keeping a review sample prior to publishing the video not to influence my judgement. My credibility is worth more than a review sample. And to be complete: if I do want to keep a review sample I normally pay wholesale prices, get a 21% VAT refund and get a 25% investment deduction from the finance ministry.
