Audio T Verdict
The Eversolo DAC-Z10 is a reference digital-to-analogue converter that also functions as a fully balanced analogue pre-amplifier and a powerful headphone amplifier.
Its dual-mono conversion architecture uses a dedicated AK4191 and AK4499 DAC module for each channel. Separate left and right conversion paths, independent R-2R analogue volume networks and three isolated linear power supplies demonstrate a far more serious approach than the DAC section normally found inside an all-in-one streamer or integrated amplifier.
Eversolo's Precision Core combines an OCXO temperature-controlled oscillator, PLL jitter suppression and FPGA clock reconstruction. Compatible 10MHz and 25MHz external master clocks can also be connected, making the DAC-Z10 particularly suitable for advanced digital systems built around a dedicated streaming or CD transport.
USB-B and IIS inputs support compatible native DSD512 and PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz. Two optical inputs, two coaxial inputs, AES/EBU, HDMI ARC, Bluetooth and conventional balanced and unbalanced analogue inputs provide excellent system flexibility.
The dedicated 6.35mm headphone stage supports three gain levels and automatic impedance detection, while the variable XLR and RCA outputs allow the DAC-Z10 to connect directly to a suitable power amplifier or pair of active loudspeakers.
It is important to understand what the DAC-Z10 does not do. It has no network streaming platform, internal music storage, power amplification or phono stage. However, for listeners who already own a suitable digital source and want one high-quality component to handle conversion, analogue volume control and headphone listening, it is an extremely complete solution.
Eversolo DAC-Z10 Reference DAC, Pre-Amplifier and Headphone Amplifier
The Eversolo DAC-Z10 is a dedicated high-resolution digital-to-analogue converter developed for use with music streamers, digital transports, computers, CD players, televisions and other suitable digital sources.
It combines dual-mono AKM conversion, a fully balanced analogue pre-amplifier, precision analogue volume control and a dedicated headphone amplifier within a substantial aluminium enclosure.
The DAC-Z10 can feed an existing integrated amplifier at a fixed level, control a power amplifier or active loudspeakers through its variable outputs, or operate as a high-performance desktop headphone system.
The DAC-Z10 Is Not a Music Streamer
The DAC-Z10 does not contain Eversolo's network music-streaming platform.
It requires a separate source such as an Eversolo T8 or T10 streaming transport, computer, CD transport, television, Bluetooth device or another component with a compatible digital output.
- No Ethernet or Wi-Fi network connection
- No integrated TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify or Apple Music applications
- No Roon Ready network endpoint
- No internal SSD music storage
- No NAS or network-library playback
- No USB music-library playback
- No digital audio outputs
- No speaker-level power amplification
- No built-in phono stage
Three Products Within One Chassis
The DAC-Z10 performs three principal roles within a Hi-Fi system.
Reference Digital-to-Analogue Converter
Digital signals received from a compatible streamer, computer, CD transport, television or Bluetooth device are converted into analogue audio through the DAC-Z10's dual-mono AKM architecture.
Fully Balanced Analogue Pre-Amplifier
Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analogue inputs allow a suitable line-level source to use the DAC-Z10's source selection, volume control and analogue outputs.
Dedicated Headphone Amplifier
A front-mounted 6.35mm headphone output uses its own amplification circuit, with automatic impedance detection and three selectable gain levels.
Dual-Mono AKM DAC Architecture
The DAC-Z10 uses two independent AKM conversion modules, one for the left channel and one for the right.
Each channel receives its own AK4191 digital processor and AK4499 digital-to-analogue converter. This maintains separation between the two channels throughout the digital filtering and conversion stages.
The approach is intended to reduce crosstalk and preserve stereo separation, dynamic contrast and low-level detail.
Compatible USB-B and IIS sources can be decoded at resolutions up to native stereo DSD512 and PCM 32-bit/768kHz.
AKM Velvet Sound Technology
AKM's Velvet Sound conversion architecture is designed to combine low measured distortion with a smooth and natural presentation.
The DAC-Z10 provides selectable digital-filter options, allowing the conversion behaviour to be adjusted according to the connected system and personal preference.
Filter differences can be subtle and should be compared using familiar recordings rather than selected purely by name or specification.
Fully Isolated Architecture
Eversolo's Fully Isolated Architecture separates the DAC-Z10's digital, analogue and control sections to reduce electrical interference between them.
Isolation is used across the digital inputs, while the left channel, right channel and system circuitry receive separate power supplies.
This prevents high-speed digital processing, display activity and connected source equipment from unnecessarily influencing the sensitive analogue conversion and output stages.
Triple Linear Power Supplies
Three independent ultra-low-noise linear power supplies are used within the DAC-Z10.
Separate supplies serve the left audio channel, right audio channel and system-control circuitry.
This approach reduces interaction between the channels and prevents display, processor and control activity from sharing the same supply as the critical analogue circuits.
OPA1612 Analogue Output Stage
Texas Instruments OPA1612 operational amplifiers are used within the analogue output circuitry.
These devices are selected for their low noise, low distortion and suitability for high-performance audio applications.
The output stage is designed to support the DAC-Z10's wide dynamic range while providing suitable drive for connected amplifiers and active loudspeakers.
Eversolo Precision Core Clock System
The DAC-Z10 uses Eversolo's Precision Core clock architecture to manage digital timing before conversion.
The system combines three principal technologies:
- An OCXO temperature-controlled crystal oscillator
- PLL, or Phase-Locked Loop, jitter suppression
- FPGA clock reconstruction and IIS data shaping
The OCXO maintains a carefully controlled operating temperature to reduce the frequency changes that can occur as a conventional crystal oscillator warms and cools.
PLL processing provides a further stage of timing correction, while the FPGA aligns and reconstructs the digital signal before it reaches the left and right DAC modules.
FPGA Clock Reconstruction
The internal FPGA reshapes IIS data and reconstructs the timing of incoming digital signals.
This processing takes place before digital filtering and conversion, helping provide the dual AKM DAC modules with a stable and correctly aligned signal.
FPGA processing can be adjusted through the DAC-Z10's settings, allowing the preferred operating mode to be selected for the connected source and system.
External Master Clock Input
A dedicated BNC input allows the DAC-Z10 to synchronise with a compatible external master clock.
Compatible 10MHz and 25MHz clock frequencies are supported, with selectable 50-ohm and 75-ohm impedance.
This allows the DAC-Z10 to integrate into advanced digital systems where several compatible components share a high-precision timing reference.
Confirm Clock Compatibility Before Connection
A BNC socket does not automatically guarantee compatibility between two components.
The frequency, impedance, cable specification and output standard of the external clock must match the DAC-Z10's selected settings.
Grounding Post
A rear-panel grounding post provides a connection point for suitable system grounding arrangements.
It may help manage unwanted electrical noise within certain systems, particularly where several digital and analogue components are interconnected.
Grounding should be approached carefully. Do not create additional earth connections without understanding the existing electrical arrangement of the system.
Multi-Core USB Audio Processing
The isolated USB-B input uses a multi-core audio processor to receive high-resolution digital audio from a compatible computer, mobile device or streaming transport.
It supports compatible native stereo DSD512 and PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz.
The electrical isolation is intended to prevent computer noise and ground-loop interference from travelling directly into the DAC circuits.
Windows, Mac and Mobile Compatibility
The USB-B input is compatible with suitable Windows, macOS, Android and iOS sources.
Windows computers require the appropriate Eversolo USB audio driver for advanced high-resolution operation. Compatible Mac systems normally operate without an additional driver.
Mobile devices may require a suitable USB adaptor, powered hub or connection kit depending on the model and operating system.
Eight-Mode IIS Input
The IIS digital input supports compatible native stereo DSD512 and PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz.
Eight selectable pin configurations improve compatibility with digital transports from different manufacturers.
IIS can provide a direct connection between a suitable transport and DAC, but there is no universally adopted pin configuration for IIS over an HDMI-style connector.
The IIS Socket Is Not Conventional HDMI
The IIS connection uses an HDMI-style socket, but it does not carry conventional HDMI audio or video.
Do not connect it to a television, soundbar or AV receiver. Confirm the IIS pin configuration of both components before connection.
Isolated AES/EBU Input
The balanced AES/EBU input supports compatible stereo PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD64 through DoP.
AES/EBU provides a robust balanced digital connection and can be particularly useful with compatible CD transports, streamers and professional digital-audio equipment.
Dual Coaxial Digital Inputs
Two electrically isolated RCA coaxial inputs allow two compatible digital sources to remain connected simultaneously.
Each supports compatible stereo PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD64 through DoP.
Use a correctly specified 75-ohm digital coaxial cable rather than a conventional analogue RCA interconnect.
Dual Optical Digital Inputs
Two optical inputs provide connection for compatible televisions, CD players, games consoles, digital tuners and streaming transports.
Each supports compatible stereo PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD64 through DoP.
Optical transmission provides complete electrical separation between the source and DAC, although the maximum reliable sample rate can depend on the source, cable and receiving equipment.
HDMI ARC and eARC Television Connection
The HDMI ARC input allows a compatible television to send stereo audio to the DAC-Z10.
This allows television programmes, films, games and video-streaming services to use the DAC-Z10 and connected stereo system.
Compatible stereo PCM is supported up to 24-bit/192kHz.
Set the Television to Stereo PCM
The DAC-Z10 is a two-channel component rather than a multichannel AV receiver.
Set the television's digital audio output to PCM or stereo if no sound is heard. The cable must be connected to the television socket marked ARC or eARC.
Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.0
A Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth receiver allows compatible phones, tablets and computers to connect wirelessly.
The official specification lists SBC and AAC Bluetooth audio support.
Bluetooth is useful for convenient everyday playback and guests, although a wired digital source will normally offer the highest available resolution and sound quality.
Balanced XLR Analogue Input
A balanced XLR input pair allows a suitable line-level analogue source to use the DAC-Z10's fully balanced pre-amplifier and volume-control stages.
This could include an external phono stage, CD player, tuner, analogue-output streamer or another DAC.
Unbalanced RCA Analogue Input
An unbalanced RCA input pair provides compatibility with conventional line-level Hi-Fi sources.
Input selection and volume are controlled from the touchscreen, multifunction dial, remote control or Eversolo Control app.
No Phono Stage Is Built In
A conventional turntable cannot connect directly to the RCA analogue input.
A suitable moving-magnet or moving-coil phono stage is required between the turntable and DAC-Z10 unless the turntable already provides a line-level output.
Fully Balanced Analogue Pre-Amplifier
The DAC-Z10 is not restricted to fixed-level DAC operation.
Its fully balanced analogue pre-amplifier provides source selection and variable volume control for the digital and analogue inputs.
This allows the DAC-Z10 to connect directly to a suitable stereo power amplifier, two mono power amplifiers or a pair of active loudspeakers.
Up to 10dB of analogue gain is available, providing flexibility when matching equipment with different output levels and input sensitivities.
Dual Independent R-2R Volume Networks
Separate precision R-2R resistor networks control the left and right output levels.
This provides analogue attenuation after digital-to-analogue conversion rather than relying entirely on digital volume reduction.
The approach is intended to preserve resolution, dynamic range and channel phase alignment across different listening levels.
The R-2R Networks Control Volume
The DAC-Z10 does not use an R-2R digital-to-analogue converter.
Digital conversion is handled by the AKM AK4191 and AK4499 modules. The R-2R resistor networks control the analogue output level.
Fixed or Variable Analogue Output
The XLR and RCA outputs can be used as fixed-level DAC outputs or variable pre-amplifier outputs.
Use volume passthrough or fixed-level operation when connecting the DAC-Z10 to an integrated amplifier or separate pre-amplifier with its own volume control.
Use variable output when connecting directly to a suitable power amplifier or active loudspeakers.
Check Output Mode Before Playback
Confirm that variable output is selected and reduce the volume before connecting the DAC-Z10 directly to a power amplifier or active loudspeakers.
Fixed-level or volume-passthrough operation can send a full-level signal to the connected equipment.
Balanced XLR Outputs
The balanced XLR outputs provide a maximum specified level of 5Vrms at 0dBFS.
Balanced operation can improve resistance to electrical interference and is particularly useful with compatible power amplifiers, active loudspeakers and longer interconnect cables.
Selectable XLR polarity allows the output configuration to be matched to equipment using an alternative pin arrangement.
Unbalanced RCA Outputs
The RCA outputs provide a maximum specified level of 2.5Vrms at 0dBFS.
They provide straightforward compatibility with conventional integrated amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, power amplifiers and active loudspeakers.
For the best performance, select only the connection type being used rather than leaving both XLR and RCA outputs active unnecessarily.
Dedicated Headphone Amplifier
The DAC-Z10 incorporates a dedicated headphone-amplifier module rather than relying on a simple output added to the pre-amplifier circuit.
A front-mounted 6.35mm single-ended connection supports compatible wired headphones with a recommended impedance between 16 and 300 ohms.
Automatic impedance detection helps identify the connected load, while three selectable gain levels allow the output to be matched to headphones with different sensitivities.
Low Gain
Low gain is intended principally for sensitive headphones and lower-impedance models.
Mid Gain
Mid gain provides an intermediate setting for headphones that require more voltage without needing the full high-gain output.
High Gain
High gain provides the greatest available voltage for more demanding or higher-impedance headphones.
Headphone Output Takes Priority
Connecting headphones automatically disconnects the rear XLR and RCA outputs.
Current firmware also returns the headphone volume to its configured default after the headphones are unplugged, reducing the risk of an unexpectedly high level the next time they are used.
8.8-Inch IPS Touchscreen
A large 8.8-inch IPS touchscreen occupies much of the front panel.
It provides direct access to input selection, output routing, volume, clock settings, DAC filters, headphone gain, display options and other system controls.
The larger screen makes the DAC-Z10 practical to operate directly, without forcing every adjustment through a phone or remote control.
VU Meters and Spectrum Displays
Multiple playback displays include virtual VU meters, spectrum analysers and volume screens.
Display brightness, automatic screen-off behaviour and full-screen presentation can be adjusted to suit the listening environment.
The illuminated volume-control ring can also use selectable colours and brightness levels.
Multifunction Volume Control
The front-panel dial provides direct volume adjustment, source selection and menu access.
Volume increments can be customised between 0.5dB and 3dB per step, allowing either fine adjustment or quicker movement through the available range.
Eversolo Control App
The Eversolo Control app connects to the DAC-Z10 through Bluetooth.
It can be used to adjust volume, change inputs, select outputs and manage the device settings from a compatible phone or tablet.
The app is a controller only. It does not turn the DAC-Z10 into a network music streamer and cannot remotely switch the unit on or off.
Supplied Remote Control
A handheld remote control is included for everyday operation.
It provides convenient access to volume, input selection, output configuration and other commonly used functions.
The remote complements the touchscreen, multifunction dial and mobile-control app.
Volume and Equipment Protection
Current firmware provides several controls designed to protect connected equipment and headphones.
- Adjustable maximum-volume limit
- Selectable default startup volume
- Minimum output setting down to -70dB
- Switchable volume-passthrough operation
- Automatic headphone-volume reset after disconnection
These settings should be configured before the DAC-Z10 is connected directly to a powerful amplifier, active loudspeakers or sensitive headphones.
Trigger Input and Output
Trigger input and output connections allow compatible equipment to switch on and off with the DAC-Z10.
This can simplify operation when the DAC-Z10 is used as the system pre-amplifier with a separate power amplifier.
Check the trigger voltage and operating requirements of all connected components before use.
Firmware Updates
Firmware updates are installed through the rear USB Type-A service connection using a suitable USB drive.
The USB Type-A socket is intended for firmware maintenance rather than music playback or connection to an external DAC.
The USB Type-A Socket Is Not a Music Input
Music from a computer, streamer or mobile device should be connected through the USB-B audio input.
The separate USB Type-A port is reserved for firmware updates.
