The refined A6. Premium analog stage. Audiophile benchmark.
The DMP-A6 Master Edition Gen 2 takes the acclaimed DMP-A6 platform and elevates its analog stage with the premium OPA1612 op-amp. The result is measurably improved performance-125dB dynamic range on RCA (vs 124dB on the standard A6) and lower THD+N across both balanced and single-ended outputs. Same dual ES9038Q2M DACs, same 6-inch touchscreen, same comprehensive connectivity-refined where it matters most. Available in black and silver.

Engineered to deliver accurate sound in real rooms, not just anechoic chambers.
The Texas Instruments OPA1612 is a reference-grade audio op-amp with ultra-low noise and distortion. It extracts the last degree of performance from the dual ES9038Q2M DAC architecture, lowering THD+N to -121dB on XLR.
Two ESS ES9038Q2M chips in a fully symmetrical architecture from decoding to output stage deliver over 128dB dynamic range on balanced XLR-shared with the standard A6, maximized by the Master Edition's analog refinement.
Connect your TV via HDMI ARC for high-quality two-channel sound. Balanced XLR and RCA analog outputs, coaxial/optical digital I/O, and USB output cover any system architecture.
M.2 NVMe 2280 slot supports up to 4TB of local music storage. Roon Ready, Tidal Connect, Qobuz, Apple Music, Spotify Connect, and more-a complete digital source.
The Master Edition is the choice for systems where the analog output quality is paramount-feeding a power amplifier like the Eversolo AMP-F2 via balanced XLR, the improved OPA1612 stage delivers audibly cleaner, more refined sound. It's also ideal paired with Revival Audio speakers for a complete, high-performance system at a compelling price point.
