Eversolo DAC-Z10 Digital-to-Analog Converter

Description

Eversolo DAC-Z10

The Eversolo DAC-Z10 is a reference-grade digital-to-analog converter and fully balanced preamplifier designed to reveal music in its purest, most authentic form. From ultra-low-noise power architecture to advanced clock reconstruction and discrete R2R volume control, every element of the DAC-Z10 is engineered to preserve signal integrity and musical truth.

Fully Isolated Architecture (Eversolo FIA™)

The DAC-Z10 is built on Eversolo’s Fully Isolated Architecture (FIA™), completely separating digital and analog domains to eliminate interference. Three independent ultra-low-noise linear power supplies independently power the left channel, right channel, and system circuitry, achieving noise levels as low as 42μV and ensuring each stage operates in a pristine electrical environment.

At the heart of the decoding stage are dual independent DAC modules for left and right channels, each using an AK4191 + AK4499 combination. This fully balanced topology, combined with AKM’s Velvet Sound™ technology, delivers exceptional dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and refined tonal realism.

Dual Mono Design with R2R Volume Control

The DAC-Z10 employs a precision R2R resistor ladder for analog volume control, preserving the original signal at every listening level. Unlike digital attenuation, this design maintains full resolution and tonal accuracy from whisper-quiet playback to reference listening levels.

A fully balanced analog preamplifier supports both XLR and RCA inputs with up to +10dB gain, delivering outstanding signal integrity, wide dynamic range, and vanishingly low distortion.

Precision Clock System – Eversolo Precision Core™

Accurate timing is fundamental to high-resolution audio. The DAC-Z10 integrates an OCXO temperature-controlled crystal oscillator paired with Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) technology and FPGA-based clock reconstruction. This system ensures exceptional timing accuracy and minimizes jitter, allowing every transient, harmonic, and spatial cue to be reproduced exactly as intended.

For advanced systems, the DAC-Z10 supports external 10MHz and 25MHz master clocks with selectable 50Ω or 75Ω impedance, taking timing accuracy to an even higher level.

FPGA Signal Optimization

An onboard FPGA reshapes IIS data and refines clock signals before conversion. Every digital stream is optimized to its purest form prior to reaching the DAC stage, ensuring maximum transparency and musical realism.

Comprehensive Digital Connectivity

The DAC-Z10 offers an exceptionally complete range of fully isolated digital inputs:

• USB Audio (DSD512 Native / PCM 768kHz 32-bit)
• 8-mode IIS Digital Input (DSD512 Native / PCM 768kHz 32-bit)
• Dual Coaxial Inputs (PCM 192kHz / DSD64 DoP)
• Dual Optical Inputs (PCM 192kHz / DSD64 DoP)
• Isolated AES/EBU Input
• HDMI ARC & eARC for seamless TV and home theatre integration

All inputs are electrically isolated to block noise, ground loops, and interference, preserving absolute signal purity.

High-Performance Headphone Amplifier

A dedicated 6.35mm headphone amplifier module automatically detects impedance and adjusts gain. With low, medium, and high gain modes, the DAC-Z10 delivers powerful, controlled output for headphones ranging from 16Ω to 300Ω.

Bluetooth & Wireless Audio

Equipped with a Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth module, the DAC-Z10 supports high-quality wireless playback via SBC and AAC, delivering a clean and stable wireless listening experience.

Intuitive Control & Visual Experience

An expansive 8.8-inch IPS touchscreen provides clear, intuitive control over inputs, volume, and playback status. The DAC-Z10 also features selectable vintage-style VU meters and dynamic spectrum displays, turning listening into both a sonic and visual experience.

Control is available via touchscreen, remote control, or mobile app, ensuring effortless operation from anywhere in your system.

Aviation-Grade Construction

The DAC-Z10 is housed in a precision-machined aviation-grade aluminium chassis with comprehensive electromagnetic shielding, ensuring both mechanical rigidity and electrical stability while complementing its refined aesthetic.
