With the OTA V1.5.60 version, Eversolo continues the software evolution of its network players, confirming once again the importance it places on ergonomics, music library management, and versatility of use. This new update, currently being rolled out progressively, concerns the entire DMP range, as well as the Play series. It brings a number of much-awaited features while correcting a number of malfunctions reported by users.
Clearer, more transparent UPnP playback
The first notable improvement in OTA V1.5.60 concerns music playback via the UPnP protocol. Now, when the device plays a file shared on the local network, the audio format of the current track is displayed directly in the playback interface. Sampling frequency, resolution and encoding type become immediately visible, offering greater clarity as to the actual nature of the stream being played. A welcome development for music lovers anxious to control the digital chain precisely and check the actual quality of the files being broadcast. It may also prove useful for users with the same albums encoded in different formats.
Note from the expert An OTA (Over-The-Air) update refers to a software update process carried out directly via a network connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), without the need for a computer or external media. It enables manufacturers to easily roll-out patches, new features or performance optimizations. For the user, it's the assurance of a regularly improved, always up-to-date device, with minimal intervention.
Editing metadata
Eversolo also enhances local music library management with the addition of a metadata editing function directly from the device or via the control app. This makes it possible to modify track information, including title, artist, album, year, track number and musical genre. This native integration eliminates the need for third-party software and considerably simplifies the organization of bulky or poorly indexed libraries—an often critical criterion for fans of digital music.
The Eversolo player becomes a UPnP server
Another significant advance, the V1.5.60 update transforms Eversolo players into true UPnP servers. Once this function has been activated, the entire music library stored locally on the player or on external drives can be shared over the home network. Other UPnP or DLNA-compatible devices on the same network can then freely access the files, making the Eversolo player a true music hub. This approach is part of a multi-room strategy and reinforces the appeal of Eversolo devices at the heart of larger connected installations.
Note from the expert The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) protocols are standards for audio/video distribution over local networks. They enable a source device (NAS server, computer, smartphone) to share multimedia files with a compatible player or amplifier, without complex configuration. UPnP ensures automatic discovery of devices on the network, while DLNA defines compatibility profiles to guarantee smooth playback of supported formats. Together, they provide a simple, robust solution for accessing a digital music library over a home network.
The Play series gains phono gain adjustment
The EverSolo Play and EverSolo Play CD Edition connected amplifiers benefit from a particularly welcome development for vinyl lovers. The phono section now features independent gain control for MM and MC cartridges, with an adjustment range of up to +6 dB. This allows you to fine-tune the output level to the cartridge used and optimize the signal-to-noise ratio. A nice detail, demonstrating Eversolo’s commitment to both analog and digital sources.
Navidrome joins the Eversolo ecosystem
The update also introduces compatibility with the Navidrome service, much appreciated by users wishing to host their own music server, either locally or remotely. The integration of this service makes it possible to manage and play a personal library from the Eversolo interface, with smooth control from the device’s screen or the mobile app. This move towards self-hosted solutions further enhances the customizable aspect of the Eversolo ecosystem.
General optimizations and patches
In addition to new features, the V1.5.60 update brings a number of important optimizations. Eversolo has worked on the reliability of Qobuz playback, the stability of the UPnP server and the display of file names, while improving certain visual functions such as the screensaver based on album covers. A number of bugs have also been corrected, including occasional audio clipping on optical output, static noise during DLNA playback via Audirvana, and occasional malfunctions related to Spotify Connect, SoundCloud or Radio Paradise.
Progressive roll-out
As usual, Eversolo is rolling out this update in successive waves to guarantee stability. Users are therefore advised to keep an eye out for update notifications on their devices. With this new version, the brand once again demonstrates its ability to develop its equipment over time, taking into account the real uses and expectations of a discerning audiophile customer base.
