It would be great if you could compare the LHY power supply to the PD Creative power supply which is half the price of the LHY. Polski zasilacz.

[@neilbrown-on4rm]

Every time I listen to these videos the sound improves. Can’t wait till my Qualio speakers ship. Great job!

[@VirtualHiFi]

Great to hear! Thank you and we will ship the IQ next week. Last parts arrive on Monday ;)

[@mattwells1209]

you didn't fit the white plastic spacers under the new power supply? you should put the plastic spacers in as per the instructions.

[@SergeySedlovsky]

Good demo's, depth, details come out, more crystal clear and dynamic I agree with your summary

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thank you for sharing your opinion 😊

[@mevdinc]

Great setup and great videos, well done. I used linear power supplies and batteries in the past with my DACs and the improvement is significant. Especially with the battery power, you get even cleaner and bigger bass.

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks for sharing. Yes I totally agree it's a big upgrade. I did a LPS for my Weiss DAC and it made huge change ;)

[@mevdinc]

​@@VirtualHiFi BTW, as a long time ATC active speaker user, I'm interested in your speakers along with a couple other open baffle designs. Once I decide where to live and establish a permanent home, I would love to get a chance to evaluate them. Do you have/recommend favourite amps to go with them?

[@VirtualHiFi]

Sure thing thank you for considering Qualio, Well that all depends on your preferences, but all powerful class AB and D will work greatly. All depend on the budget, but if you are open minded what I recommend for all new Quality users is to check amps like Fosi Za3 / Ayima A07 and than borrow few amps and check if you like them more. Nearly all owners of the IQ that I visit ended up using those amps even though they had 100 times more expensive amps before ;)

[@lucianlucian3024]

I think it woud have been more eloquent to compare the two eversolo with internal dac. I also upgraded my Master Edition to LPS, and after only 20h of burn in i hear better sibilance control, any trace o digital jitter seems to have disappeared, the liveliness is still there, the sound is very natural. Great job with your other reviews and very helpfull audio proofing!

[@samidebs3559]

I just ordered the LPS-A6 in my opinion any electronics with a linear power supply is always the better choice!

[@VirtualHiFi]

Congrats 🎉

[@jeremymmoraw]

thinking doing the same thing :-) enjoy.

[@massimilianomilanese504]

How it sounds now? Better or quite the same?

[@samidebs3559]

@ it sounds quiet more instruments separation,I really recommend it .

[@yippie6862]

Listening on KZbin I tend to prefer the original. With the upgraded power supply the voice seemed very forward. A bit disjointed from the rest of the music. I even detected some glare in voices also. It does sound more airy and a little more transparent, however, the original just sounds calmer, more relaxing to my ears. Could be the microphones or KZbin. May sound different in person. Just my take on the sound using headphones here.

[@VirtualHiFi]

Hi, thanks for your comment. I believe you did hear it right. After the upgrade the sound is more forward and also way wider and definitely more open and with a higher resolution and energy. So for more refined and relaxed option thetl standard A6 ME will be better ;)

[@massimilianomilanese504]

@@VirtualHiFiHi. Any differences in bass punch?

[@robertwang7825]

I bought a LHY LPS on Taobao for around US150 with silver connects. I do think there is quite an improvement in sound after a run in of a couple of days. IMO

[@dusantomic9983]

I thought you were going to upgrade the standard version and compare it with the ME(with the original PSU). That would have been also very interesting.

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks for the comment. Yes in a perfect world yes. I bought only the Master Edition Version for me, so that is all I have now ;) thank you for your support and comment ;)

[@samidebs3559]

I installed the LPS A6 yesterday I already liking the way it sounds quieter,calmer,calmer,instruments separation the midrange is a little warm and musical I guess its smoother 🎸

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your upgrade 🎉🎉🎉

[@thelonewolf666]

does it sound better as your wearing goast hair slippers as well??

[@trubadyr99]

Thank you for this video! Great job: the difference is clearly audible. And I enjoyed the sound upgraded unit produced more. Still: the best and easiest for a listener way to compare exists. It takes more work of a creator, but it is much easier for a listener to catch the difference: it's when compared two short sample clips of the same music done by different players. But that's going to take just a bit more work. Now, I wondered whether I will purchase the A6 ME and upgrade its PS to LPS or just upgrade my existing Node streamer/DAC (still sitting unpacked in its box) with the LPS made for it by LHY. I suspect that Blusound Note's DAC is not as good as Eversolo A6 ME DAC, but the streamers in both devices are about on par with each other and the apps are equally good in both units. Thanks again, man. I am a long-time subscriber and fan of your channel.

[@AusGanesh]

I have used the Eversolo A6 ME for a week now, what an improvement over my dell pc running win 11. Very dark background and vocals to die for, and very pinpoint of instrument placement. I could even hear the singers breathing. Remarkable improvement for low cost, I have retired my laptop for good. Thank you. Just a small request can you please make a video comparing the Eversolo AMP F-2 to your other class D amplifiers you have? Thank you. Thinking about this power supply upgrade, and I just saw your video. Thanks.

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. Yes it's a vast improvement from the laptop for sure. Congrats on the change and I'm glad to hear that you improved your system so much. I'll try to borrow the Eversolo amp from local HiFi Store Koris, and compare it as well ;)

[@stephenconley8469]

Thanks for the video , there is a difference in the sound now whether or not it is worth the £225 uk price is up to you , i think it is , so £1424 A6 master edition with LPS or A8 £1890 uk price , if you could put your video clips together to show A6 standard vs A6 ME + LPS vs A8 on internal dac and going through weiss 204 dac that would be amazing thanks again look forward to your next video

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks for the comment, and yes if local store will have M8 master edition laying around I'll borrow it for a day, since it's rotating like crazy 🤣

[@desalvo55]

Are you saying that there is a master version of the A8?@@VirtualHiFi

[@liamo4]

So, can you offer an opinion please as to how the A6 ME LHY compares to the A8. This will probably be from memory as you may not have the A8 now. I did listen to your original A6, A6 ME and A8 comparison. I could hear the differences, but wasn't sure between the A6ME and the A8 which I preferred. It seems to me that A6 ME LHY has moved closer to the tonality of the A8 in a good way and may have made up my mind for me. Thank you.

[@retman29]

The eversolo a6 master + LHY in pure streamer, Is it superior to the eversolo a8 streamer? Thank you for your videos 👍

[@zarusobaman7084]

A8 is much better

[@zarusobaman7084]

So many people in a6 owner group in facebook that already upgraded. Say no difference in sound quality😂😂😂😂

[@shaolin95]

Of course...only people with hyperactive imaginations hear the difference 😂

[@Dr.Ignazio]

sorry but i can't hear any difference between booth systems. There is noticiable difference with this upgrade ? really? I don't think so. but the speakers...this is another dimension. I really like it and appreciate a big difference with this gorgeous speakers.

[@garlys3417]

Great revue, as usual. Question : Did you use a numeric output from ME to Dac or directly Analog output (RCA/XLR) to Amp ? I'm curious if the LPS is efficient without the internal ME's Dac ? It's sure, with analog output the improvement is significant but what about numeric output and external DAC....

[@VirtualHiFi]

thanks 🙏. I only used output to the Dac because I forgot tondo the internal one as well, but from my previous tests the sound change will be the same in regards to internal DAC ;)

[@matytinman]

Great sound improvement!!!

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks! Glad you like it 😁

[@blek99]

Not a night & day differencer, but it does indeed sound better with the new PSU. Thanks for the upload.

[@patrickmaroche8717]

Hello. I clearly hear the difference. I have Dmp-A6 + Linn Majic + S400 Mk2. What is very interesting is that it improves whithout changing the colour of the music. Which is not the case when you improve op_amp s on an amplifier. So improvement if clear. But as the dmpA6 + lps-a6 reaches near the price of the DMP-A8...it would be right to compare this A6 improvement with the original A8. ❤ your videos.

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks for sharing! Yes maybe I'll revisit the A8 and do the test since now it's even more valid as you said 😁

[@jeremymmoraw]

imho psu upgrade brings more to the table than jump from a6 to a6me,... Great video, thank you.

[@franzdacosta4211]

Though the DMP A6 ME has a leaner sound,the clarity supersedes the unit having the power unit!...I think,it would be best if the base unit(dmp a6 and not ME) was fixed with the power unit...there's clear distortion on the DMP A6 ME with the power unit!!..My opinion!!.

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks for sharing. I bought the ME version so its the only one I can change the power supply at the moment ;)

[@serpex77]

Great videos man! What DAC/Streamer is that in the background? Thanks.

[@chebrubin]

Is Power Supply upgrade needed for all digital output workflow? I suspect the Master Edition helps with less clock jitter into a HDMI pre amp processor.

[@malcolmlevy1769]

Any chance you can compare your A6 ME with FIIO R9. the R9 has some extra features and is a more open platform, that can install any Android app, that gives more assurance of its longevity.

[@JRadian]

Are you using outboard DAC or no? LHY sounds like a veil is lifted in treble to low-midrange, which is also richer with more dynamic contrasts. LHY price is actually very reasonable for the improvements, but how is the shipping costs/time to say USA?

[@VirtualHiFi]

I am using external Weiss 204 DAC ( forgot to mention it in the video) 🙀 I'll add the info to the description. I'm not affiliated with beatechnik and can't really tell about availability but you can buy it directly on their website so I'd check there. Probably there are some US dealers as well ;)

[@wegardfjeld3789]

LPS makes a very clear difference with internal DAC on both. Should test that too

[@Rob-td1gh]

Szkoda że nie spróbowałeś tego od PD Creativa..Z tego co podaje producent jest jeszcze lepsza redukcja szumów i tańszy. Właśnie sam zastanawiam się który wybrać. Mam szansę kupić dosyć tanio Beatechnik,tzn. za te same pieniądze co PD Creativa

[@norbac]

Great video dude! What speakers are those? They sound awesome!

[@olly2043]

Hi, once again, a very nice video! Thanks for it and for this upgrade. Wich small cable did you use for connecting the power supply? Is it in the delivery of the power supply included? Thank you very much. Olly

[@VirtualHiFi]

Yes, correc, the cable is connecting the power supply to the rest of the unit. There is I'm original one that connects the original power supply, but when you buy the linear power supply there is the cable attched as well and it seems more legit ;)

[@yareck1180]

As I heard differences when different amps were used, here honestly I do not detect changes.

[@ArmarioActual]

Thanks for sharing. Please do something with your microphone, when you speak the volume is very low and is not easy to hear you. This happens in many of your videos. Thanks.

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks for the tip and for sharing your feedback ;)

[@MAB_Audio_Nut]

I found listening to be much closer than the other comparisons of the streamers this seem to be an upgrade but more subtle.

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks for sharing. Yes I agree that the difference is smaller than with the different Eversolo devices, but the sound has a definite improvement in soundstage size and midrange expressiveness. ;)

[@ericelmore887]

Great comparison as always. Are you using the Weiss dac or built in dac? Also have you decided on power supply for the Weiss dac? Did you get a chance to compare the Weiss Dac to the La Scala Dac?

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks ;) Yes I forgot to add the info. I'll list the entire system in the description. I am using Weiss 204 DAC and Eversolo is only used as the streamer. Did not have a chance to listen to La Scala ,but I have Meitner Ma3, hifi rose 130 and auralic Aries g2.2 for testing now so we will see what will happen ;)

[@ericelmore887]

@@VirtualHiFi I love watching the journey. Your sound demos show the true differences. I would love to hear you thoughts of hifi rose 130 with Weiss compared to eversolo solo with Weiss. I love to see how your system keeps evolving. a song I came across that demonstrates good imaging Bonnie Raitt -One Belief Away.

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thank you very much for your support and positive words. The Hi Fi Rose is amazing on its own, holographic, big bold and dynamic, with midrange moved forward. But IMO it's to much with the Weiss which has the same character. Weiss matches better with Auralic Ares G 2.2 which plays with more body. I also have a Metner MA3 DAC which when streamed using internal streamer sound very analog with stunning rich midrange and plenty of softness and relaxation but in a good way, but compared to the Weiss I miss the holography and the energy and In your face style of presentation. On Monday I'll try HiFi Rose RS130 with meitner and that night be great combo. Since I'd say the HiFi Rose does the same thing that the Weiss does. So yes plenty of things to check but unless you have a very dark sounding system that needs all the punch it can get, going for Weiss with Rose will be too fatiguing ;)

[@ericelmore887]

@@VirtualHiFi I figured the eversolo a8 would be better then the a6 master since the a8 is more laid back and the Weiss will balance it with the punchy dynamics

[@iampuzzleman282]

@@VirtualHiFi would be amazing to hear your critical commentary about how mcIntosh amplifiers are designed. And of course how they sound. Always wondered if all that protective circuitry is impacting sound quality and whether other amplifiers do the same type of protective measures, which would seem to be a good idea or maybe not if it impacts sound quality. Maybe it's a trade-off here I don't know

[@Berkanann]

Does it make sense to get this upgrade even if I only use the A6 as a streamer with external DAC?

[@jesseayala3093]

My question too?!

[@rubinsteinkleer8334]

The addition of the LPS brings the a6 ME close to the price of the a8. Would you say the a6 combo is still better sounding than the 8 ? . I had the a8 on demo and returned it because although the features were great the sound quality was very similar to streaming straight from my demon AVR, so I’m still looking

[@VirtualHiFi]

I would have to compare them one oto one, but I'd risk my bet that if you don't need the DSP the ME + PSU is the way I'd go ;)

[@owisun85]

Did you hear a8 dac or just denon dac and didn't even know ?

[@rubinsteinkleer8334]

@@owisun85 I had the a8 as a pre amp into my lyngdorf sda-2400 to do an a-b comparison with the denon and there was very little difference between the two. Since then I have tested some other devices in my system and found the same results which I found odd. So I had a demo session at my local Hifi shop and found it is my speakers that are not revealing what these components can do, so I may have done the eversolo an injustice.

[@shdr55]

Question . does the a8 have a linear power supply on the streaming side? I assume that if it is so that would be an admission from the company that LPS is a better choice for streaming

[@VirtualHiFi]

It's complicated. They claim in the materials that all audio is powered by LPS and the system part is powered by SMPS one so it's kind of reasonable to assume the streamer part is ... Yes I'm not sure 😁

[@shdr55]

a friend of mine is telling me that the digital part is with SMPS. He is an expert in the field. I was asking the question cause I can't hear the difference. that fact by itself does not mean much .Btw your speakers are great and so is your site .Dziękuję

Thanks for sharing your opinion with us ;)

[@jedi-mic]

thats Ok anytime. Clearly you like it better, would be interesting to try it with a better smps something with greater filter capacitors and running at a higher switching mode say 163 kHz what does the original run at? Have you had any experience or knowledge with Nobsound Douk Audio amplifiers? looking at el34 NS-03D at 550£ looks like a nice amplifier not too expensive either, I think it uses the rectifier tube 03d that's how I came across it, don't no yet I haven't looked at it too closely pretty little thing.@@VirtualHiFi

[@BrianHall-Oklahoma]

There is no advantage to a linear power supply vs. a switching power supply in any well designed electronic device. The noise argument or "improved sound" is BS. There is no way a LPS would improve the "depth" or soundstage. That is audiophool BS. The Eversolo DMP-A6 does not need or benefit from this LPS. In this case the LPS is pure snake oil and you should be ashamed of yourself for advertising it. The same is true for most audio devices unless they have a really bad design in the first place.

[@VirtualHiFi]

Thanks for sharing your opinion. I remember many years ago when I built a GainClone amplifier based on LM3785 chip. I remember I experimented with caps for the power supply and in the end I added only one few uF paper oil and Teflon caps to the electrolytic battery ones and when I switched form paper oil to the Teflon, the sound changed to the ones from completely other galaxies. And yes when I listen to the video with my headphones on I can clearly hear the difference so am I hearing something that doesn't exist ?

[@zzezzobike]

advantage for the rest of us who can hear slightest improvements is to erase you from comments

[@VirtualHiFi]

[@wegardfjeld3789]

I do have 2 A6 ME, one with LPS and one standard at the weekend house. Thus I have blind tested and AB'ed both live and with friends. Weirdly everyone hears the sound change that gives more depth and scale with LPS. I'm curious if you have any similar experience to build your statement on ?

[@Cats-N-Music]

Many things in audio cannot be explained in theory. Theoratically, what you say makes sense, but wait a minute, it is a proven fact that a switching power supply produces more noise. However let's give you the benefit of doubt and somehow we humans only know what we know ,and science at this point in time can only prove so much. Everything makes a difference in audio even down to a grounding box, only thing is do you like the change it makes in your system and are your ears able to detect the change/changes. The proof is so apparent and already in the video comparison. Whether you like it or not is besides the point. You call out the content maker and call it snake oil and claim that he should be ashamed of himself? Seriously?!?! I can't believe you are trying to even debate this topic in 2024... You are obviously unable to hear any difference and since this channel is for audiophiles who are genuinely here to seek out exposure to products, sad to say that you really don't belong here. Many Soundbars are very well designed these days, i suggest you live with one of them well designed ones and call it a day, no need to come here and put people down when they are doing a service to the community. Have a little class...

you must have the shittiest power in the world--- ive never heard any difference with this snake oil crap audiphools carry on with, absolute crap, ive had a lot of amps, streamers etc etc over the years and can turn them up to 100% volume with no input and there is NO sound, no hissing or power hum, theres is no power noise with inputs or without---nothing--- audiophools have psychological head noises---cleaner power filters---
