Eversolo's DAC-Z10: A Dual-Mono AKM DAC with Active Pre-Amplification
The DAC-Z10 is not just a DAC with volume control, but a proper analogue preamplifier that decodes digital signals.
Eversolo's latest device features a dual-mono implementation of AKM's Velvet Sound silicon, utilizing a Fully Isolated Architecture (FIA).
- Each channel has its own AK4191 + AK4499 chipset
- Its own linear power supply
- Its own signal path from input to output
That's not marketing fluff about "isolated grounds" in the press release – it's genuine left/right separation that extends all the way through to the volume control.
Author's summary: Eversolo's DAC-Z10 offers a unique dual-mono AKM DAC implementation.
