Reference DAC. Flagship AKM. The digital heart of a serious system.
The DAC-Z10 is Eversolo's flagship standalone DAC and preamplifier-a major step up from the compact Z-series models. Dual Asahi Kasei AK4191EQ digital filters paired with AK4499EX converters run in a true dual-mono signal path, supported by Fully Isolated Architecture (FIA), three independent linear power supplies, and a 10MHz OCXO-based clock with FPGA-assisted reconstruction. An 8.8-inch touchscreen, relay-switched R2R volume, balanced analog I/O, HDMI ARC, I²S over HDMI, AES/EBU, and external 10MHz/25MHz clock inputs make it as flexible as it is resolving-whether you feed it from a computer, an Eversolo T8 transport, or a TV.

Engineered to deliver accurate sound in real rooms, not just anechoic chambers.
AK4191EQ digital filter plus AK4499EX stereo converter per channel-independent left and right processing for maximum channel separation and vanishingly low distortion, in the same architectural class as Eversolo's DMP-A8.
Digital and analog sections live on isolated boards with separate linear supplies for system control and each analog channel, keeping noise out of the signal path where it matters most.
A large high-resolution display and tactile relay-based volume control make daily use effortless. The DAC-Z10 works as a full balanced preamplifier-directly driving a power amp like the AMP-F2 with precise level control.
USB-B, dual coaxial and optical, AES/EBU, I²S over HDMI (multiple pinout modes), HDMI ARC for TV, Bluetooth 5.0 with LDAC support, and 10MHz/25MHz external clock BNC inputs. Balanced XLR and RCA analog inputs and outputs complete the picture.
The DAC-Z10 is the natural partner for a transport like the Eversolo T8 or any quality digital source: I²S or AES often gives the cleanest path into the DAC, while balanced XLR out feeds the AMP-F2 or another power amplifier with a short, noise-resistant cable run. HDMI ARC brings serious two-channel sound to film and TV without a separate AV processor. For headphone listening, automatic impedance detection and multiple gain steps keep both efficient and planar headphones in their comfort zone.
