Rather than using the best Sabre ES9039PRO chip from the DMP-A10 streamer (<em>Vum\u00e8tre 57 FR review; Remarkable<\/em>), the Z10 leans towards a configuration closer to that seen in the Luxsin X9 headphone amplifier, with a pair built around the AK4191 and AKM&#8217;s best DAC chip, the AK4499. In this DAC, each channel integrates the pair of chips in a perfectly dual-mono architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with the DMP-A10, the volume is analog and based on an R2R system, which is also perfectly symmetrical here. Each element is perfectly isolated in the chassis, distributed according to a patented FIA\u2122 (Fully Isolated Architecture) process where the DAC and volume control parts are each on a board placed at a higher level than the main board. In the center, an OXCO temperature-controlled crystal oscillator is combined with PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To minimize power-related interference, the power supply is divided into three ultra-low noise (42 \u00b5V) shielded toroidal transformers positioned at the front of the device. On the far left, a small amplification module (1 W) allows headphones to be connected via a 6.35 mm output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As is usual with EverSolo, a magnificent IPS touchscreen sits in the center of the front panel, here wide of 8.8&#8243; (22.4 cm), next to a volume knob with a backlit outline whose color can be changed. The rear panel also features a plethora of inputs and outputs: analog XLR and RCA; optical digital, S\/PDIF, AES, HDMI I2S and eArc, USB Audio, but surprisingly, no USB-C. However, Bluetooth is also included via a Qualcomm QCC5125 chip, and an FPGA chip is used to ensure signal reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you think the internal 3.3 V clock running at 10 MHz is not good enough, you can always add external modules via the two 50 \u03a9 and 75 \u03a9 BNC ports, at 10 or 25 MHz. Thanks to all these technologies, files are supported up to DSD512 and PCM 768 kHz\/32-bit formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Icing on the cake, the European price is set below 2 000 \u20ac, at exactly 1 990 \u20ac including tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EVERSOLO-DAC-Z10-Back.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EVERSOLO-DAC-Z10-Back.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EVERSOLO-DAC-Z10-Back-1280x640.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EVERSOLO-DAC-Z10-Back-980x490.jpg 980w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/EVERSOLO-DAC-Z10-Back-480x240.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1920px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following on from the DAC Z6 and Z8, EverSolo continues to expand its range of digital-to-analog converters and its 10 series with the DAC Z10.
