Fully Isolated Architecture (FIA™) – Purity in the Signal Path

At the heart of the DAC-Z10 is Eversolo's proprietary Fully Isolated Architecture (FIA™). By completely separating the digital and analog signal paths, interference is effectively eliminated. Three separate linear power supplies – for the left channel, right channel, and system circuitry – ensure an absolutely clean power supply. The result: a precise, spatial soundstage with the highest transparency.

Dual-DAC System with AKM Velvet Sound™

Each channel is processed separately by its own AK4191 + AK4499 DAC pair. This dual-mono configuration improves dynamic range and reduces channel crosstalk to a minimum. Supported by AKM's Velvet Sound™ technology, the Z10 produces a finely tuned, natural sound with impressive detail – even for high-resolution formats up to DSD512 and PCM 768 kHz/32 Bit.

R2R Volume Control – Precision in Detail

Instead of digital volume control, the Z10 uses an R2R resistor network with separate modules for both channels. This analog control guarantees lossless level adjustment without affecting the signal – for a clear, natural sound from the quietest passages to high volumes.

Fully Balanced Preamplifier

With balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connections, as well as an analog gain of +10 dB, the DAC-Z10 can be connected directly to power amplifiers or active speakers. Its precise R2R control and fully balanced design ensure an exceptionally clean, low-distortion sound.

Eversolo Precision Core™ – Exact Clock Design

The integrated Eversolo Precision Core™ system ensures maximum timing accuracy with a temperature-controlled OCXO crystal oscillator, PLL phase-locked loop technology, and FPGA clock reconstruction. This minimizes jitter and optimizes phase precision – for a stable, three-dimensional image with authentic transients.
Additionally, the Z10 supports external 10 MHz and 25 MHz master clocks (50/75 Ω), allowing it to be perfectly integrated into professional audio setups.

Comprehensive Connectivity

The DAC-Z10 is designed for demanding hi-fi systems and offers almost every desired connection:

• Digital Inputs: USB, IIS, AES/EBU, 2× optical, 2× coaxial, HDMI ARC/eARC
• Analog Inputs/Outputs: XLR & RCA
• Trigger In/Out for system control
• USB audio processor for lossless playback up to DSD512 Native and PCM 768 kHz/32 Bit
• Bluetooth (QCC5125) for wireless Hi-Res streaming

Headphone Amplifier with Auto-Gain

An integrated 6.35mm headphone output automatically detects impedance and adjusts gain accordingly. In high-gain mode, the Z10 delivers up to 1W into 32 ohms, effortlessly driving even high-impedance or planar headphones.

Design & Operation

Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, the DAC-Z10 combines stability, electromagnetic shielding, and timeless elegance.
The 8.8-inch IPS touchscreen offers intuitive control with customizable VU meters, color accents, and clear signal path display.
Alternatively, the device can be controlled via the Eversolo Control App or the included remote control.
