Wondering if it makes a difference if you use the unit as a streamer only(usb out) ?
It does. The LPS power up the CPU, its digital signal processing section, crystals, digital outputs circuitries, etc.
A6 can be buggy. Beware. Support can be problematic.
Seems to be only buggy when I try to do a bunch of funky things with it to test its versatility. When that happens I just turn off & back on and all is well. There are some things it does & does not like to do, but works great if you just want to turn it on and listen to music.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! We have been running the LPS-A6 for several days without hiccups :)
Well done Alvin another great product and solution from LHY Audio and Vinshine Audio it will be interesting to see how this new linear power supply sounds in comparision to the stock SMPS, I'm sure this will fly off the shelves.
Thank you, sir!
Awesome! The linear supply made such an improvement for my Bluemound node 2i. I can imagine how this would improve the master A6.
Thank you! I am a strong advocate of LPS for many good and positive reasons :)
Excellent idea. Having recently fitted the Beatechnik upgrade for the Jay's Audio transport I think there is a very large potential market for this kind of upgrade kit.
Audiophiles love to upgrade, and if you can wring the last amount of performance out of your current gear rather than buying a new product, they will do it.
Congratulations on this, and I hope you will continue to explore similar upgrades for other products in future.
Thank you for the kind words, sir Jim!
This is great, but why is the warranty on the LPS only 3 months? That's pretty poor by any standard. If it's so well made the company should stand behind it
DIY products are designed to be versatile and adaptable, allowing you to personalize them to suit your requirements. However, since the final outcome depends on your assembly and usage, warranty coverage can differ. Hope this clarifies!
@@VinshineAudio unfortunately not really. The product is designed for a single purpose, requires some screws and a small ribbon cable to be attached. Not sure how that translates into a short warranty. People buy tonearms which are much more complicated to setup and they come with full warranty.
The warranty tells you all you need to know. They do not stand behind their product!
I just purchased this for my a6 standard. Before I install this, I would like to know: if using an external DAC, would the master edition have any benefit over the standard?
Alvin I have updated the lps but still looking to lower the noise floor some more. When listening to other streams on the market like Auender , they have a darker background that the music emerges from. Is there anyway to get more performance from the Eversolo ?
Amazing!!! We are super excited to get our hands on one of these!! Will fit right in our EverSolo that we pair with our favorite ARES II DAC. 🥰🥰😊😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Metoo with a Ares 12th-1 on its way@@VinshineAudio
@@VinshineAudio just ordered. 😁✊🏼🥰
@@VinshineAudio we’ve got 3 others in our discord who just ordered as well.. we will kick out a review as soon as we get them in hand. 🫵🏼😃😉
Alvin, I have the regular DMP-A6, not the Master edition. Will the power supply fit into it as well and in which way the power supply improve the sound? Thanks!
It will definitely fit inside the SMPS are identical on the std & master editions only difference is the femto clocks & op amps, the sound improvement will be the same for both so less noise quieter background less digital smearing.
Certainly, the LPS-A6 can be installed in the Standard and Master Edition. The answer from @madds6678 is spot on!
Hi Alvin, do you recommend the A6 over the Arce streamer coming soon? Your opinion matters to me.
Good to hear from you here, sir! If you use roon, I highly recommend Arce streamer - for sound quality!
Thank you Alvin! As always I much appreciate your information. -ds
Wow I can’t believe I’m getting upgrading fever already 🤭 if this can improve the sound quality of already my excellent master edition you can count me in 👍🏻
I do however think it won’t be long till the new Eversolo dmp-A6 premier edition is released with linear power supply once they catch wind of this 😂.
I have no doubt the reason they used a smps was price being that they priced this unit to fly off the shelves which it has done, the mistake they made was to not include a linear power supply in the master edition but hey ho their still selling by the bucket load, so hats off to them they produced a fantastic product that will make the legacy hifi manufacturers quake in their boots at this price point.
Out of interest what does the dmp- A6 sound like through the denafrips Pontus dac ?
Great points! I am not sure about that but it’s pretty sure the LPS-A6 is available now. The eversolo DMP-A6 works really well with DENAFRIPS DAC!
Audiophonics sells it, comes with the remote and hard drive too.
Is it stable for both 110 and 230V? What about external USB HDD precaution?
Certainly! It is available for USA [120V] and EU [240V].
The following information can be found on the product page: www.beatechnik.com/product-page/lps-a6-eversolo-dmp-a6
US/EU/UK/JPN AC Voltage:
- The LPS-A6 comes with pre-set voltage of 120/240VAC at the factory.
- The LPS is compatible with AC voltage range 115-120VAC / 230-240VAC ± 2%, 50/60Hz.
- We will dispatch the correct voltage model to you based on your shipping destination or country.
RE: USB Power Consumption
Please find the following notes might be of interest to you: www.beatechnik.com/lps-a6#important-note
@@VinshineAudio Thank you for the answer. I'm curious if it's switching from 115 to 230 doable by user. Thanks.
From my understanding, an LPS runs hotter than a a SMPS. Couldn’t overheating be a problem considering that the DMP-A6 doesn’t have vents?
Hi Jorge, in general, LPS runs warmer than the SMPS. DMP-A6 features eight(8) louvers at each sides, it's a good one to ventilate the heat. Please find the following notes might be of interest to you: www.beatechnik.com/lps-a6#important-note
I am on the fence. I would not mind if it were a little cheaper. I am currently running The Hermes D2D converter to the Pontus II 12th ed R2R DAC
Over Is2 . Eversolo to Hermes USB in Is2 out to Pontus II. And I just use the Eversolo for a transport only. This plus my Tonewinner AMP and Audio GD preamp represent my " End Game" system. So I did not plan to " Replace " anything. Yet upgrading is enticing. My question is will I have to strain and convince myself that the sound is better or will it slap me in the face? Or somewhere in between. That is the question.
The LPS-A6 is a good one. We have all the confidences in it!
Excellent idea thank you sir definitely will order it
Thank you for your strong support! Whenever you're ready, it's just a click away :)

Hi Alvin, thank you for your always efforts to offer good stuffs to your customers. if you compare this Eversolo DMP-A6 vs the Lumin U2 Mini, you have both of them, what would be your veredict? I have my Pontus II, what do you think will match this eversolo with the Pontus II? Thanks for your kind response.
I would add Volumio RIVO in the mix too. ruclips.net/video/IrL5trV_tJ4/видео.htmlsi=-Xpxmx6xEH6iAiig
I’m interested in the upgrade for the Bluesound Node. Do these upgrades mostly help if your using the internal DAC of the updated unit, or will they still help if using a separate DAC? My DAC is a Emotiva XDA 3 source is a Bluesound Node 2i. Thanks!
The LPS upgrades improve the streamer performance, overall!
Very interested in this LPS which looks a very neat solution. If also using an external DAC (with improved clock) and using 'fixed volume mode' i.e. not using the pre-amp, does this potentially negate the benefit of the Master Edition over the Standard Edition? My understanding is that the Master Edition differs from the standard in improved:
1. quality and accuracy of the internal dual clock (Accusilicon Femtosecond)
2. operational amplifiers (OPA1612 with ultra-low distortion)
3. Switching power supply with high-frequency noise filtering up to 5 megahertz.
What benefits are therefore left for the Master Edition over the Standard Edition and am I missing something?
That's a good question for eversolo team!
No, it only negates opamps. yes, you are missing that the clocks will still be used when used as a transport, that the power supplies are the same in both, and that the ME has gold badges.
As a transport using USB everything from the Master is negated, the clock in the DAC or DDC is used.
@@jamezdk many thanks for the reply. I sought advice before deciding to go with the standard over the ME, but for my understanding, how do you know that the USB bypasses the clock?
The streamer still needs clocks, idk why usb would bypass them
Brilliant and huge kudos... Sir. 💡👌🏽
Thank you kindly!
Too expensive! I‘ll better wait for the next Eversolo model 😇
I do think Eversolo will latch onto this & come up with a premium edition later or incl the option of which power supply you want on purchase but for now I’m happy to buy the LPS (have done so) each to their own & thank LHY for working on an upgrade so soon.
@@madds6678 Right, because the Master Edition does not really deserve this label and could be further enhanced with LPS, I2S, headphone amp,…
If Eversolo adds all the updates people want for the next version, it'll be to $1500+
@@markucla Fine with me, if it also includes a better DAC 🤓
@@SpaceEncounter Agreed but then you're getting closer to the Hifi Rose market which might make it the better deal. I think Eversolo wants to remain under $1000 US market as you can see the buzz they've created. Also an upgrade to the Master addition might make it closer to 2K. All remains to be seen however.
Awesome job Alvin. It’s always nice to see a company that stays on top of the audiophile market.
Will you provide any sort of metal shielding between the new LPS and the rest of the boards?
Thank you, sir! We work hard to serve the audiophile community :)
We will not be providing additional metal shielding between the LPS and the motherboard though. The encapsulated transformer is already of very low noise.
Iam curious how eversolo looks at this. Maybe they can offer it as an upgrade so that garantee will still be available.
The LPS-A6 is a great one, do consider!
They need to fix the USB power limitation.
Makes this unusable for many !
Also the noise measurements shown on the product web site have no bandwidth or spectrum given.
In other words, what were the frequencies of the ripple of the two power supplies ?
Be aware that the raw power supply output noise may not even be an issue for the circuits downstream as they probably have their own regulation stages anyway ?
Show Spdif output or UBS jitter before and after as well as improved S/N on the Analog outputs and I'll believe this makes a difference.
Thank you for the constructive feedback, I appreciate it!
Must be part of the ASR. But yeah the bandwidth of the frequencies measured would be useful for comparisons.
Will the internal LHY linear ps work in a Lumin U2 mini, or is size an issue?
Lumin U2 Mini can’t fit the LPS internally. But the good news is, eversolo can!

Order well received, I appreciate it!
Terrific video. Very clever fix.
@Alvin, How to compare this with Zidoo NEO S? I know Zidoo makes Eversolo
I asked you last time but still don't have your reply.
Hi sir, we do not have the Zidoo Neo S to compare, my apologies sir.
Hi 😊 Is it required if I already use a power line conditioner? (Furman Elite-15PFi) Thank you 🙏🏻
If you already have the power conditioner, you may use it with the LPS-A6!
Is anyone using the DMP-A6 direct to power amp? Hows the quality?
I believe there are a group of owners did just that! I can't comment on the quality though. I am a strong advocate of Analog Volume Attenuation :)
I have a LUMIN U1 mini streamer with sbooster power supply. Is eversolo with lhy power supply better than the LUMIN. My dac is Aries Cerat Helene.
Let’s see !
Switching power supply is most efficient and least expensive. However it is the worst sounding one in audio systems.
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it!
If I add the Denafrips ares 12th-1 as an external dac what output to the dac do you recommend? Is MQA supported in both the streamer and the dac? Thanks.
DENAFRIPS doesn't support MQA. But the good news is, Tidal is realeasing hi-res FLAC streaming (with no MQA).
We recommend USB connection. The following article might be helpful for you: www.vinshine.audio/post/eversolo-dmp-a6-as-digital-transport
And what have you noticed in the difference in sound? Is $286 going to make my jaw drop? I think you can only do so much with digital. I think the DMP A-6 sounds good as a streamer. I use it to feed a tube Dac and it sounds excellent as is. I still use my Linn LP12 as my main system..digital is convenient. I will wait and see the reviews after my 1 year warranty is up. Let us know what everyone thinks about this!!
We will see!
Teddy Pardo Audio has also an upgrade kit for the DMP-A6. Highly recommended.
Thanks for sharing!
Checked out the T P it’s a separate box & modified din socket mod in place of the IEC socket. This one looks so much more neater with quality parts & as stated I don’t want another box, I know which one I’m ordering & I’m just about to hit the order button.
@@madds6678the LHY only has a 3 month warranty if that matters to you
With the Teddy version your money is going on an expensive case. Hopefully with this version all the money is going towards the components.
However, if you are not cracking the case open and fiddling about inside, perhaps the TP one will not void your warranty. Though perhaps you still need to mess around inside. I haven't seen the mod.
Numbers are numbers but I would have to listen side by side if this is worth the money🤷♂️
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! We are confident of the improvements LPS-A6 will be bringing!
Is using battery much better and cleaner for dac than regular transformer?
There are always pros and cons. In this case, the ability to integrate the LPS-A6 seamlessly into the eversolo streamer, is a big plus pros!
I upgraded the A6 power cable and plugged the A6 into a high end power bar. Job done it sounds beautiful!
Thanks for sharing! Enjoy the music :)
Excellent again ! This Eversolo deserves a decent LPS and Vinshine is the first that I know of that's offering this for a reasonable price .
Since I own a Bluesound N130 with external LPS which is connected through usb to a Denafrips Hermes and I really don't need a display on the device , I stick to the Bluesound .
Thank you for your support, I appreciate it!

Void the warranty 😀 👏
I bet it’s best to be upfront about it!
It's worth it. I just installed mine. Made a difference on my system. Very happy with the upgrade.
Just installed mine. Sounds even better now
U use analog out or digital?
How to compare this with Zidoo NEO S?
Hi sir, we do not have the Zidoo Neo S to compare, my apologies sir.
Will this upgrade make any difference if using the Eversolo strictly as a player/transport to Pontus II via internal or external SSD as I don't stream or use the Eversolo DAC? Thanks
I'm sure Alvin has a much better idea about this, but my experience of good power supplies is that they improve everything, but I guess if you are not using the full functionality of the unit you will get less bang for your buck in terms of sound quality vs cost.
It does. The LPS power up the CPU, its digital signal processing section, crystals etc.
Thanks for fast response , Ordered
Thank you for your support through our sister company (www.beatechnik.com/lps-a6)!
Gonna wait for reviews.
Cool, let's see!
How much Australian dollars please🤔
The LPS-A6 is priced in USD $286. www.beatechnik.com/product-page/lps-a6-eversolo-dmp-a6
$451.25 AUD inc free shipping is what I paid and was worth every bit of the price
How much is the LPS ..
Here you go sir: www.beatechnik.com/product-page/lps-a6-eversolo-dmp-a6
very nice.
Thank you, Jose. Glad you like what we do!
Ordered!
Thank you for your support, sir!
👍👏👏👏
Thank you, sir Miguel!
I think the special edition performs better because of the improved clocks, so I would have thought an improved power supply would take it to the next level.
To us, the SMPS in the Standard and Master Edition are identical.
Nonetheless, the good news is, LPS-A6 can be installed in the DMP-A6 Standard and Master Edition :)
@@VinshineAudio When you say this, are you referring to what you heard or the result of your measurements?
Can i use this in Canada? Would it be the same voltage? We use 115vac
Certainly! It is available for the North America [110-120V].
