LPS-A6 Installation Guide for eversolo DMP-A6 [Beatechnik x LHY Audio]

[@vimvim8805]

Installed it today. tip: stick 1/4 length of a toothpick through the hole in the rubber ring to secure it on top of the pcb standoffs, and then thread the pcb down so the toothpicks goes through the 4 pcb holes. Pull out 1 and one toothpick as you secure the screws. Made it really easy. Soundwise, there is no doubt this makes the Eversolo sound even (slightly) better. More open, more fullbodied.

[@uncola6028]

Just installed it, the most difficult part was not knocking the white insulator rings off the pcb standoffs. Very high quality product and packaging! Sound is definitely improved, this is the final touch my eversolo needed to stand among the higher end dacs!

[@allanharris4281]

How is the temperature of the running Eversolo?

[@air870]

Ditto on the spacers.

[@mauricejanssen3087]

Just received the LPS and installed it right a way. Now warming up the system and allready verry happy with the Improvement in SQ. BIG thanks to Beatechnik and Alvin👌

[@wally6629]

Hi Alvin, I received my LPS yesterday , thanks for getting my Order out to me so quickly. It sure makes a noticeable high quality difference in my Master Edition. To me, I hear a higher degree of richness, and finer detail in my Cornwalls. Your Install Instructions are spot on, and straight forward. In 55 years of purchasing stereo I can honestly say, I have never paid so little and got so much. Your LPS is differently wroth price. Thanks so much.

[@jamiermathlin]

thank you for a clear and understandable set of instructions, my power supply is due to arrive shortly, looking forward to hearing it !

[@CookieCurls]

Super easy installation thank you! I was a bit skeptical going in that it would make a difference in sound quality, but I’ll be darned. Gave everything a bit more punch and clarity. I felt like my setup was missing just a bit of punch so it was a perfect change.

[@zubidoc]

Excellent! There's one thing left to do: to compare the sound before and after. Could you please tell us about sound quality differences? What do we gain from the LPS? Thanks.

[@misterl7771]

Nothing exept loosing some money.

[@VinshineAudio]

We will see how it fairs, with confidence!

[@Ultradubmarine]

@@misterl7771hi, have you heard with and without? I would be interested to know, thanks

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

lets say it maximize good cans better

[@De132an]

Nice to see a bottle of Remy Martin over your shoulder. Hard work well rewarded. Cheer! 🥃

[@VinshineAudio]

I gotta drink it this week! Been having too much beer lately. :)

[@lloydstephens2135]

Easy install. I appreciate the tips in the video. I placed some heavy books behind the top cover after removing the top to keep it steady. The LPS is working well. It smoothed out the treble on my Eversolo standard.

[@anthony2010707]

Just installed mine, looking forward to testing it out, thanks Alvin for your clear instructions on installing. 👍

[@thevistazencenter1928]

Two days in with the new power supply and I'm definitely enjoying the improved performance. Thanks Alvin for the instructions you provide through KZbin!

[@robertrobertson9909]

Merci messieurs. J'ai suivi vos directives à la lettre. Vous avez très bien expliqué maintenant ça fonctionne avec une nouvelle énergie

[@RobWhittlestone]

Great explanation! It would have helped to see closer inside the chassis, but apparently there are photos on the website. I watched it because I plan to get the A6 Master Edition with the LPS A6.

[@abxaudiophiles]

AWESOME!!!! - We cannot wait to get ours in for install and review!! Super exciting.

[@VinshineAudio]

Thank you, sir James!

[@NosTubes58]

Thanks Alvin, I’m looking to order one within the next few weeks, as I’ve come to love the overall sense of musicality of the standard DMP-A6, and believe said LPS would in fact take it to another level still.

[@misterl7771]

To believe you might go to church. It`s a lot cheaper.

[@NosTubes58]

No longer into the church thing……, as in the long run with the average cost of paying one’s 10% ties say over an entire year, I’d rather invest in this anywho.

[@VinshineAudio]

Thank you for your support, I appreciate it, sir!

[@NosTubes58]

You’re more than welcome. 😊

[@SkiBumMSP]

Just found out about this. I am seriously considering getting this for my Master Edition unit, despite what a couple of naysayers are saying on here. Installation looks easy enough (no worse than swapping components in a PC as I've built my fair share over the years). Do like that one tip about using toothpicks to hold the standoff rings. Another tip is to place a towel down and then lay the front of the cover on that to protect the display, as well as prop up the cover using a large book, soup can or other large, sturdy object to keep it from tipping. As for if this power supply upgrade makes a difference, I've seen several videos and numerous comments and reviews that all agree that this DOES make a difference in the sound quality. I've yet to hear this upgrade myself, but based on everything I am seeing and reading, I may go ahead and try it out anyway.

[@hifi6335]

I received my LPS-A6 and successfuly installed. Definitely be careful with the front cover falling off (mine did) ;). One of the connector wire got pulled out but fortunately I was able to put it back in. DMP-A6 is now turned on and I have it playing music while working from home ;) ... so far no heat issues, not even warm to touch. Can't comment ( yet) on sound improvements though. Update: After playing for over an hour, the unit is now warm but not too much. It is comparable to my other components (like my HDMI matrix). However, I don't have an internal SSD installed and no external USB drive. I have it connected using USB to external Denafrips Ares 12th DAC. Also, I'm using wired ethernet connection.

[@VinshineAudio]

Glad to hear all went well! Can't wait to hear your impression. Looking forward to it!

[@tshingtenglim965]

Excellent one take video with no cuts 😄👏

[@VinshineAudio]

Thank you for the compliments, Mr Lim!

[@uncola6028]

Very good instructions! Can’t wait to install mine

[@misterl7771]

Unbelievable how stupid one can be.

[@VinshineAudio]

Thank you, sir James!

[@jacobpaternostro9109]

Great video, thank you. It was an easy swap.

[@uclaxab]

Alvin, very informative video. Thank you. Curious if this upgrade would help any if you are using the Eversolo Master simply as a transport, feeding into the Iris DDC and Pontus II? Thanks.

[@toddt5562]

Thanks Alvin! I am anxiously awaiting my LPS for my Master Edition streamer. Eversolo streamer already sounds great in my otherwise all Denafrips system, and hopefully the LPS will bring a nice incremental improvement!

[@allanharris4281]

You will not be disappointed, even if your run it without the LPS

[@VinshineAudio]

Thank you for your support, Todd!

[@Pete.across.the.street]

@lujiez how would you know that without listening to it?

[@joeythedime1838]

I just ordered, from you, the LPS-A8 for the Eversolo DMP-A8. What kind of improvement should I hear? and how much warmer will the unit run? I do have a Samsung 990 PRO SSD 4TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 internal solid state hard drive installed - should I consider adding a heat sink to the SSD?

[@FrankFiene]

What is about an external CD drive? Does this stress the LPS as well? I have installed an internal SSD as well.

[@simoogle17]

Did you manage to use both cd player and internal hd together? did it blow up? i got the same question...

[@FrankFiene]

@@simoogle17 You mean SSD and CD Player? Yes, But I am still using the original power suppy.

[@timdanaher]

Interesting! Any way to install this externally, in a separate chassis..?

[@VinshineAudio]

The LPS-A6 is meant to be seamlessly integrated in the DMP-A6. In my opinion, it's a very good one!

[@atoz6552]

Hi from Canada! How do I know if i get the right version, right voltage, for my country on your website? Thanks

[@abxaudiophiles]

How do you like the Choco Sound on the shelf back there?

[@VinshineAudio]

I am using CHoco EMEI in my main system now!

[@abxaudiophiles]

@@VinshineAudio that’s awesome!!! We would LOVE to audition and review one!! Lots of bang for buck in that unit, no doubt.

[@markucla]

I had trouble removing one of the screws on the bottom. Its just screwed in so tightly. I'm afraid I'm gonna strip the screw. Dang, not sure if I can do it.

[@imarche14]

Pls consider making the LPS as an optional external LPS 🙂.

[@VinshineAudio]

The LPS-A6 is meant to be seamlessly integrated in the DMP-A6. In my opinion, it's a very good one!

[@donalddietz4755]

Hi Alvin, do you have an opinion or measurements to suggest if one model of the Eversolo benefits from the installation of the LPS more than the other?

[@VinshineAudio]

Hi sir, good to see you here! The LPS-A6 works for both models. Its performance is identical whether it's being used in the standard/master edition. For sound quality alone, I recommend Master Edition!

[@TheVictoire22]

Can we expect (or is it even possible) to supply an opamp upgrade (desolder and solder) and or a upgrade to the clock board? Maybe provided in a one affordable pack?

[@VinshineAudio]

Hey friend, thanks for the suggestion. We do not have plans for such a modification that requires soldering and/or high electronics skills, though. Thanks for the feedback!

[@Pete.across.the.street]

Just buy the new opamps and solder them, there's no need for a kit

[@ron101346]

It would really help if you moved the camera to follow your actions!

[@MsGreenEys]

why should you connect an external SSD? Eversolo offers the option of installing an internal SSD. How does the internal SSD sound compared to an external SSD? Is there a good reason not to use the internal SSD or MC storage? There are already gold or silver fuses for Denafrips, do you have experience with them?

[@SkiBumMSP]

Most likely it is simply a matter of convenience. More than likely somebody may have an external SSD or harddrive laying around they could simply use instead of having to go out and buy and then install an internal SSD. Also simply to hook up an external SSD/HD to a PC/Mac, copy the music files over and then hook it up to the Eversolo and be able to play. Also a convenient way for a friend to bring some music over to listen on your system and vice versa. Also, I think the built-in storage is only something like 32 gigs and would just rather leave it for the OS and apps and not fill it up with music files. With that being said, I do have a 4 TB SSD installed in my unit.

[@cstanutube]

Hi, will the LPS-A6 be able to support a 4TB NVME SSD (installed in the slot), a USB DVD drive (for CD ripping) and using the USB output to a USB DAC at the same time? Master Edition model. Thanks.

[@VinshineAudio]

Yes, the LPS-A6 will work! It's just a click away: www.beatechnik.com/product-page/lps-a6-eversolo-dmp-a6

[@berkutov_va]

please tell me, is this power supply for sale on Ali Express?

[@EricRhodeslives]

Second batch LPS installed. Only partially powers up. 😢

[@HongNguyen-my5oq]

Almost impossible to mount the unit with the o-ring. Had to use some tape to stick it down or else it will fall off

[@marcocastronuovo1480]

Hi Alvin, when will there be a review of the Arce streamer?

[@VinshineAudio]

Certainly, reviews are coming!

[@kvonne]

How much can u sell the old power supply for ?

[@donaldwest6803]

Since it is suggested that you use a powered ssd drive, if you will be using two, would this apply to cd rom drive? So you would have one ssd with a non powered cd rom drive. Will this tax the power supply??

[@NosTubes58]

I wondering why would one need to use an external SSD?, when I’ve placed a 2TB NvME SSD 2 type internally, which seems much much faster than the SATA based designs.

[@VinshineAudio]

It will. If you use both of the USB ports for heavy loads like the SSD/HDD/CD drives, it's recommended to use external USB power.

[@Thoughtflux]

I'm wondering if i can use A6 LPS to replace the switching power supply in schiit Bifrost dac. Has anyone tried it?

[@VinshineAudio]

I recall Schiit uses linear power supply, am I right?

[@marekk842]

Prefería uno en exterior de aparato...

[@wattimena]

Hi Alvin, the LPS cost $286...is it in US dollar or Singapore $?

[@VinshineAudio]

Hi sir, it's in USD $ :)

[@madds6678]

Just seen there’s a new DMP-A8 version out now with a built in LPS & better everything, as I previously posted & said there would probably be 😬 Just installed my LPS & it has improved the already fantastic A6 master edition sound but I do wonder how good the new A8 will be & whether I should have saved my pennies, that’s not to detract from the excellent build quality of the LPS from beatechnik

[@ZorkZorker]

Get that pointer!!!!

[@VinshineAudio]

You're sharp!

[@onemic-theminimalist]

Just so you know - The noise floor of the DMP-A6 is around -160 dB. Assuming you listen to music through other components with that low of a noise floor (unlikely) and you do so in an anechoic chamber, the LPS-A6 is for you.

[@VinshineAudio]

Thank you for the constructive feedback, I appreciate it!

[@Pete.across.the.street]

Love listening to those measurements, who cares what it sounds like lol

[@onemic-theminimalist]

@@Pete.across.the.streetMeasurements don't matter. If I spend money on an “upgrade” it WILL sound better..lol

[@Pete.across.the.street]

@@onemic-theminimalist yup, they only can tell you if something is horribly wrong, can't tell you if it will sound good

[@onemic-theminimalist]

@@Pete.across.the.streetOr horrible wrong with a claim by a snake oil salesman.

[@mikemajors2385]

Teddy Pardo makes an LPS in a external enclosure. Taxing the power supply brings excessive heat is not optimal. Sorry Alvin but I will pass this time.

[@VinshineAudio]

No worries, Mike! Thank you for your feedback :)

[@opieshomeshop]

This is a very poor how to video. You need to get the camera up into the work and show what has to be done rather than explain what to do at a distance and literally blind.

[@misterl7771]

No normal human being will hear any difference. May be one can measure something. But one can`t hear anything other than before. That is Snake Oil at it`s best! But Audiophile will buy and buy and buy.

[@VinshineAudio]

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it!

[@rikardekvall3433]

Can you show us measurement that you don’t hear anything? Can you show us proof that you didn’t measure anything before you posted this comment? Have any proof of anything? Ask an Audiophile for advice? Ask a religious person about snake oil? Yeses

[@Pete.across.the.street]

The guy that's never heard it, can't hear a difference 🤔

[@mauricejanssen3087]

Any reasonably serious HiFi enthusiast should know by now what a power supply upgrade can do.

[@marekk842]

Problem es temperatura, que usando ssd llega a 60 grados en los radiators de linial.... 😮

[@VinshineAudio]

Thanks for the feedback, sir!
