Product Summary
The Eversolo DAC-Z10 is a flagship high-resolution digital-to-analogue converter, fully balanced analogue preamplifier and dedicated headphone amplifier designed to become the control centre of a premium audio system. It combines dual-mono AKM conversion, extensive digital and analogue connectivity, precision analogue volume control and advanced clock management within a substantial aluminium chassis.
Eversolo’s Fully Isolated Architecture separates the digital and analogue domains to help minimise interference and preserve signal purity. Three independent ultra-low-noise linear power supplies separately serve the left channel, system circuitry and right channel, providing each section with its own clean and stable power source.
The conversion stage uses two independent AKM decoding modules, with one AK4191 and AK4499 combination dedicated to each channel. This dual-mono arrangement maintains separation between the left and right signal paths from digital processing through conversion, helping achieve wide dynamic range, extremely low distortion and precise stereo imaging.
USB-B and IIS inputs support native DSD512 and PCM up to 768kHz/32-bit. Additional connectivity includes two optical inputs, two coaxial inputs, balanced AES/EBU, HDMI ARC, Bluetooth and an external clock input, making the DAC-Z10 suitable for computers, streaming transports, televisions and other digital sources.
The Eversolo Precision Core combines an OCXO temperature-controlled crystal oscillator, Phase-Locked Loop technology and FPGA clock reconstruction. External 10MHz and 25MHz master clocks are also supported, with selectable 50Ω or 75Ω input impedance.
A fully balanced analogue preamplifier provides both XLR and RCA inputs and outputs, with up to +10dB of analogue gain. Separate high-precision R2R resistor networks control the left and right channels in the analogue domain, helping preserve resolution, channel balance and phase accuracy throughout the volume range.
The dedicated 6.35mm headphone amplifier automatically detects connected-headphone impedance and provides low, medium and high gain settings. With output of up to 1 watt into both 16Ω and 32Ω loads, it can accommodate a broad selection of dynamic and planar-magnetic headphones.
An 8.8-inch IPS touchscreen provides clear access to source selection, output settings, volume and system configuration. The DAC-Z10 can also be operated using the supplied remote control or the Eversolo mobile application.
