About this video:
The Eversolo DMP streaming DACs have been hyped to the heavens. In this video, Morten doesn’t rehash the specs—he ADDS to the many glowing reviews by revealing why the Eversolo DMP-A6 seems to hate your file-based music.
What starts as a product test turns into a full-blown rant about broken features, software design disasters, and the deeper problems of Asian tech development culture. Yes, we go there—electric cars, UI complexity, and the question of why the hell you’re even here on Earth.
Morten waited patiently for software updates… but now the gloves are off.
Find out what he thinks is genuinely good—and what SUX—about the Eversolo DMP-A6.
