EverSolo DAC-Z10 - DAC/Headphone Amp

Eversolo DAC‑Z10

Exceptional flagship DAC and analogue preamplifier that redefines digital-to-analogue precision for the discerning audiophile.

The Eversolo DAC-Z10 is built to deliver ultra-high-fidelity audio with uncompromising design. Featuring a dual-mono AKM architecture (AK4191 + AK4499 per channel) and an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) paired with a femtosecond-grade PLL, the DAC-Z10 dramatically reduces jitter and elevates timing precision across your system. 

Beyond pure DAC conversion, the DAC-Z10 offers a fully balanced analogue preamplifier stage with R2R volume control and +10 dB gain, enabling direct drive of a power amplifier or active speakers—making it more than just a DAC. 

Connectivity is vast and future-forward. Inputs include USB (supporting PCM up to 32-bit/768 kHz and native DSD512), I²S, dual optical/coaxial, AES/EBU, HDMI ARC, and Bluetooth via a Qualcomm QCC5125 bit-perfect module for wireless flexibility without compromising fidelity. 

Power and mechanical design are equally premium: three dedicated toroidal transformers supply isolated power to left channel, right channel and digital/clock domains, while a robust aluminium chassis with an 8.8-inch IPS touchscreen brings high-end build quality and user-friendly operation.

Top 20 Questions About Eversolo DAC-Z10

What is the Eversolo DAC-Z10?
The Eversolo DAC-Z10 is a flagship digital-to-analogue converter with an integrated high-performance preamplifier stage, designed for audiophile systems seeking reference-level performance.

Why choose the Eversolo DAC-Z10 over a standard DAC?
Because it offers dual-mono flagship-level AKM DAC chips, ultra-low-jitter clocking, full preamp capabilities with analogue gain and R2R volume control—features typically found in much higher-priced separates.

Which audio systems will benefit the most from the Eversolo DAC-Z10?
Systems with top-tier power amplifiers or active speakers, where source quality, timing accuracy and noise floor matter. Also ideal for those looking to simplify the chain by using the DAC-Z10 as preamp.

What input formats does the Eversolo DAC-Z10 support?
It supports PCM up to 32-bit/768 kHz and native DSD up to DSD512, plus a broad range of digital interfaces including I²S, USB, optical, coaxial and AES/EBU.

What makes the clocking system in the Eversolo DAC-Z10 special?
The clocking uses an OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) and femtosecond-grade PLL combined with FPGA reconstruction, achieving ultra-low jitter and high stability for precise timing.

Can the Eversolo DAC-Z10 act as a preamplifier?
Yes. It includes a fully balanced analogue preamp stage with R2R volume control and +10 dB gain, allowing direct connection to power amps or active loudspeakers without a separate preamp.

Will the Eversolo DAC-Z10 drive headphones?
Yes. It features a front-panel 6.35 mm headphone output that auto-detects impedance and supplies up to ~1 W output—capable of driving many high-end headphones.

What connectivity options does the Eversolo DAC-Z10 offer?
USB, I²S, optical/coaxial, AES/EBU, HDMI ARC for TV integration, and wireless via high-performance Bluetooth (Qualcomm QCC5125) for bit-perfect streaming.

Does the Eversolo DAC-Z10 include analog inputs?
Yes. In addition to digital inputs, it provides analogue line inputs (RCA/XLR) that feed the preamp stage – enabling use of the DAC-Z10 as a central hub for digital and analog sources.

Is the Eversolo DAC-Z10 suitable for future formats and upgrades?
Yes. With support for very high-resolution formats, advanced clocking and expandable connectivity (I²S, HDMI ARC, external clock input), it is designed to remain relevant for years.

What kind of build quality does the Eversolo DAC-Z10 have?
It features a premium aluminium chassis, large touchscreen display, isolated power supplies and channel-specific architecture—all reflecting high-end build standards.

Will the Eversolo DAC-Z10 improve sound quality in my system?
If your current system is bottlenecked by source quality, jitter, noise or lacks a proper preamp stage, yes—the DAC-Z10 can deliver audible improvements in clarity, timing, dynamics and staging.

How does the volume control work in the Eversolo DAC-Z10?
The volume is controlled via a true analogue R2R resistor network (one per channel) rather than purely digital attenuation—preserving fidelity across all levels.

What are the headphone usage considerations for the Eversolo DAC-Z10?
It handles standard 6.35 mm headphones, offers auto impedance detection and sufficient power for demanding cans—but lacks dedicated balanced (4-pin/XLR) headphone connectors in its specification.

Does the Eversolo DAC-Z10 require special cabling or setup?
It benefits from quality analogue interconnects and power supply conditioning due to its high-end design—but standard balanced cables and USB/i²S interconnects suffice for excellent results.

What is the estimated price for the Eversolo DAC-Z10?
Pricing has not been fully confirmed yet; early indications suggest it will be positioned in a premium tier relative to entry DACs, consistent with its flagship specification.

When will the Eversolo DAC-Z10 be available?
It is expected in Q4 2025 according to current product previews.

Is the Eversolo DAC-Z10 Roon or network-enabled?
While streaming capability via Bluetooth is built-in, full network streaming server features may depend on firmware/options—primarily this unit functions as a top-level DAC/preamp rather than a full network player.

What amplifiers or speakers pair well with the Eversolo DAC-Z10?
High-quality power amplifiers, active speaker systems or reference-level separates with balanced input compatibility will allow the DAC-Z10 to deliver its full potential.
