Eversolo DMP-A6/ DAC Z6 Upgrade Kit
$405 – $485
The Eversolo DMP-A6 Upgrade Kit replaces the internal switch-mode power-supply, with Teddy Pardo Audio high performance external power supply. This upgrade kit can be installed in 10-20 minutes, without requiring any special tools or special skills like soldering, making it suitable for non-technical users. The result is a big step forward in the sound quality of the Eversolo streamer, bringing it very close to the level of network streamers costing twice as much. This Kit is compatible with Eversolo DMP-A6 and DAC-Z6/Z8.
Note: choose between MiniTeddy Standard Edition or Special Edition for improved performance.
Details
The Eversolo DMP-A6 Power Supply Upgrade Kit replaces the internal switch-mode power-supply in the Eversolo streamer, with a Teddy Pardo Audio high performance external power supply.
This upgrade kit can be installed in 10-15 minutes, without requiring any special tools or soldering, making it suitable for non-technical users. The result is a big step forward in the sound quality of the, bringing it very close to the level of network streamers costing twice as much.
This upgrade kit is compatible with DMP-A6 as well as DAC-Z6.
Background
The DMP-A6 is originally equipped with a low-cost switch-mode power supply, similar to the power supplies that can be found in many consumer level products. This power supply has insufficient performance level in term of clean power delivery, resulting in mediocre overall sound quality. The upgrade kit offered here brings the DMP-A6, a major step forward, both in analog and digital outputs.
The Eversolo Upgrade Kit is offered with two power supply options.
DMP A6 Master Edition
The Master Edition has better components throughout, however the power supply is similar. Therefore the upgrade kit applies similarly to the standard version.
Z6, Z8 DACs
Both DACs are supported by this upgrade kit, and will show significant upgrade in sound quality.
Some comments from customers:
(taken from the review section below).
I’m really pleased with the product and service. I was kept fully informed of lead time and delivery. The product arrived well packed, in fitting instructions were clear (even for a non technical person such as me) The power supply has definitely improved the sound of my Eversolo. I would definitely recommend this upgrade.
Power supply options:
1. MiniTeddy Standard Edition
The standard MiniTeddy is the 4th generation of our familiar SuperTeddyReg voltage regulator. It features multiplied output stage and careful biasing of the active stages, resulting with a reduced output impedance, and better load regulation.
Inside the MiniTeddy Power Supply
The picture below shows the MiniTeddy internals.
The design features:
– Fully discrete design, based on JFET and Bipolar transistors;
– Multi-device output stage, for reduced output impedance and better load handling;
Oversized transformer with 60VA capacity;
– Main capacitors from Kemet (Aerovox UK);
– Tantalum capacitors from Vishay (Israel);
– Electrolytic capacitors from Panasonic (Japan)
– Built-in ground-loop killer, to prevent ground-induced noise.
2. MiniTeddy Special Edition (released 09/2024)
The MiniTeddy Special Edition, scheduled to start shipping on 09/2024, is a complete redesign of the standard edition. It is based around our new Tedinator discrete voltage regulator.
The Tedinator is a fully discrete design, based entirely on ultra low noise JFET transistors with no IC chips. It is the result of countless hours of development, testing and listening. Its design is inspired by the writings of great minds like Walt Jung and Nelson Pass.
With the new Tedinator and the new circuit around it, we were able to achieve impressive new levels of low noise, low output impedance and fast response time, resulting in a highly involving sound, perfectly timed and with no apparent phasing errors, hence our new slogan : The Art of Silence.
Eversolo kit contents:Â
The Eversolo DMP-A6 Upgrade Kit includes:
- MiniTeddy power supply with dedicated +/- multipin output.
- Custom-made rear panel adapter, wired with DC plugs.
- High quality DC cable.
- Torx key.
Sound
Comparing with the DMP-A6 in its original form, the upgraded model reaches sound quality levels that surpass network streamers at twice the cost: it shows better focus and clarity, wider and deeper soundstage, and deeper bottom octave.
Comparison to other conversion solutions
We asked a customer to describe the differences between Teddy Pardo external power supply, to another solution which can be assembled internally. Here are his comments:
Teddy Pardo’s power solution is much easier to install, takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. The soundstage is wider and more focused, the presentation is more relaxed, better balanced and easy on the ear on long listening sessions.

Sorry, no reviews match your current selections

It has taken about 50+ hours to get the power supply to break in. But WoW right from the start, all the spaces between the notes are darker more quite. For me everything is more analog sounding more warm. More smooth. I like it so much that I’ll be buying another one for my DMP A6 Ultimate.
Adds bass weight and reduces the brightness inherent in the Eversolo A6
What an amazing upgrade. I was really impressed with the streaming great separation and more details. But when I played my CD transport through the eversolo it just blew me away with the improvement it’s like it has also been upgraded. I’m in love with CDS all over again. When used primary as a streamer to my pontus 2 DAC there is also significant improvements.
This upgrade is a highly recommend and the added bonus is it’s external and doesn’t effect the performance of the A6 but enhances it

Transforms the DMP-A6 master addition. You get more bass weight, smoother sound with the brightness completely removed. You can now listen to your Eversolo for hours on end.
