DAC-Z6 is a compact audio decoder with excellent workmanship and high performance. With the integration of XMOS 316 and double ES9068 DAC chips, the decoding formats support up to DSD512, PCM 768Khz@32Bit and MQA full decoding. It has exceptional sound quality, good preamp performance and strong headphone driving force. Rich inputs make the device a good partner for high end headphones and stereo speakers.

Double High-Performance ES9068 DAC

There are 2 ES9068 DAC chips to construct the Double Differential Quadruple Converter, with one ES9068 DAC chip per channel for independent D/A conversion output. The design avoids interference between channels effectively, reduces the noise floor to 6dB, obtains better audio indicators like signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range etc. DSD512, PCM768@32bit and MQA hardware decoding are supported.

Professional Calibration

Benefited from development engineers' rich experience in analog circuit design, professional calibration and circuit design are adopted for DAC-Z6. The total harmonic distortion ratio which has been measured is -120dB (0.00009%), signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range are 125dB. These industry leading indicators are solid foundation for good sound quality.

XMOS 316

The 3rd generation XMOS 316 has faster processing speed and better USB bandwidth, which ensures lossless transmission for high-definition audio data. USB output supports DSD512 Native, PCM768@32bit and MQA full decoding. Optical and Coaxial output support DSD 64 (DoP) and PCM192@24Bit.

DAC-Z6 includes MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording.

High Precision Clock Oscillators

Two low jitter clock oscillators (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz) are integrated in DAC-Z6, which correspond to 44.1 KHz and 48KHz multiplied sampling management. Audio decoding is more accurate.

Balanced Differential Amplification Circuit

DAC-Z6 analog audio circuit is fully balanced differential amplification circuit design, which is made up of several operational amplifiers. DAC connects to all analog outputs including XLR, RCA, headphone jack through the circuit. Noise has been eliminated by resolving the cross-talk of the shared loop and improving channel separation. The high-fidelity preamp circuit supports refined volume adjustment, no additional preamp needed.

RCA and XLR Separate Output

In order to reduce the possible signal interference of the RCA and XL simultaneous output, DAC-Z6 RCA and XLR are output separately to achieve higher audio indicator and better audio performance. For sure, RCA and XLR can be output at the same time by setting manually.

Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth Module

DAC-Z6 Bluetooth audio receiver adopts Qualcomm QCC5125 module. It is Bluetooth 5.0 and supports BC/AAC/aptX/apt LL/aptX HD/LDAC Bluetooth audio protocol. Enjoy CD quality music conveniently by connecting mobile phone, tablet and computer.

Abundant Digital Filters

Three sets of digital filters are provided in DAC setting, with different sound characteristics. Distinct tailored modes will meet different listening demands.

Multiple Ports to Connect with Diverse Audio Source

DAC-Z6 has rich digital audio inputs, including Coaxial, Optical, asynchronous USB DAC, Type- for computers and mobile devices. APT HD Bluetooth audio input can be used to connect with computers, streamers, CD players and mobile devices etc.

Low Ripple Power Module

Low-noise regulated power supply module and dedicated audio filter capacitor are tailored for DAC-Z6. It powers for audio circuit and ensures clearer sound, with low ripple and less interference.

Monitor-Level Headphone Amplifier

The professional headphone driver circuit in DAC-Z6 has excellent audio indicators and strong driving force, which means DAC-Z6 can be used as a high-performance headphone amplifier and drive 16-300ohm Hifi headphones, with both high and low gain output options.

Exclusive Controller APP

DAC-Z6 can be easily controlled by mobile phone with the EVER SOLO Controller APP. Almost all settings can be done in the APP via Bluetooth technology.

Colorful and Practical User Interface

The 3-inch LCD display on DAC-Z6 shows the colorful user interface of menu setting, audio source selection, VU meter and audio info. UI is cool and user-friendly, with some personalized preference settings.

Multifunctional Knob

The knob on the front panel is multifunctional, not only can be used for volume adjustment but also for menu selection, such as, input source switching, output selection, filter modes, UV meters, system language setup and firmware update etc. The embellishment of ambient light looks scientific and technological. It works as a supplement so that the device can still be controlled without the remote control.

Aluminum Chassis

DAC-Z6 is made of aviation aluminum, processed by CNC workmanship, coming with a stable body structure. It is a combination of exquisite appearance design and modern elements.
