Eversolo DMP-A8

Eversolo DMP-A8 - High-end streamer with sublime DAC, preamplifier, and DSP

Eversolo DMP-A8 is a revolutionary streamer that impresses with incredible functionality and class-leading sound quality. The user experience is exceptionally successful thanks to the large 6" LCD touchscreen on the front panel, but where the magic really happens is behind the elegant exterior. Here you’ll find one of the world’s best DACs and sample rate converters in the form of the AKM AK4499EX and AK4119EQ. This ensures outstanding processing of the digital and analog signal, demonstrated by an impressive dynamic range and SNR of up to 128 dB. This gives you a perfectly black background from which the finest details emerge with clarity, precision, and dynamics.

"As far as I’m concerned, the A8 is another winner: the slick UI, generous feature set, broad/er connectivity, high/er-quality preamplifier, superior power supply, more advanced D/A conversion, and powerful onboard DSP all come in at a price point that feels – dare I say it – “reasonable” by modern hi-fi standards." - John Grandberg, DARKO.

Advanced DAC technology with impressive dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio

DMP-A8 comes with the outstanding AK4499EX/AK4191EQ DAC and sample rate converter, which is one of the best solutions on the market. The solution comes from Velvet Sound’s flagship "Verity" series, which brings the sonic philosophy of the new generation of AKM DACs. It is supported by a high-end dual femto clock that effectively reduces jitter. The result is incredibly clear and detailed sound with very precise timing.  

This DAC technology delivers an impressive dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring crystal-clear audio reproduction with minimal distortion and background noise. With a dynamic range of up to 128 dB and a signal-to-noise ratio of 128 dB, the DMP-A8 guarantees exceptional sound quality that captures even the finest details in the music with incredible authenticity.

Here you can stream directly from popular streaming services such as Spotify, TIDAL, Apple Music, and more, so you always have access to millions of songs and playlists.

EOS and Smart Control App

A unique feature of Eversolo's streamers is their EOS (Eversolo Original Sampling-rate Audio Engine). EOS ensures that the DMP-A8 delivers outstanding audio reproduction at all original sampling rates, which means that you can enjoy the music exactly as the artist intended. Completely without any form of compromise.

To make operation as seamless as possible, Eversolo also offers the intuitive Smart Control App, which gives you the ability to control all functions on the DMP-A8 directly from your smartphone or tablet.

Advanced volume control with R2R resistors 

Eversolo DMP-A8 is equipped with an advanced volume control that sets new standards for sound quality and precision. It is an incredibly costly volume control consisting of R2R resistors and relays that deliver exceptional performance with minimal noise and distortion.

R2R resistors ensure precise and linear volume adjustment, resulting in clean and undistorted audio reproduction across the entire volume range. At the same time, the relays reduce electrical noise and prevent signal distortion, resulting in a listening experience free from interference and unwanted background noise.

Elegant design with large 6" LCD touchscreen

Eversolo DMP-A8 impresses not only with its impressive sound quality, but also with its elegant design and intuitive user interface. Made from aerospace-grade aluminum and with a CNC-machined body, the DMP-A8 radiates both strength and elegance. The brushed panel and frosted anodized body combine classic and modern elements in an exceptional way that appeals to audio enthusiasts as well as design enthusiasts.

The large 6" LCD touchscreen provides an intuitive and seamless operating experience. With this screen, the DMP-A8 has a professional streamer system that gives access to simple yet refined interfaces. Everything can be controlled directly from the screen, from system settings to the local music library and third-party apps. Users can enjoy a seamless operating experience reminiscent of that of a modern smartphone.

Extensive functionality and many connection options

When it comes to inputs and outputs, there are few devices that give you as wide a range of connection options as the DMP-A8. The digital inputs include 2 coaxial and 2 optical inputs as well as a USB-B input for connection to PCs and mobile devices. When it comes to analog inputs, the DMP-A8 provides both XLR and RCA inputs, so you have the option of connecting a wide range of analog audio sources - including turntables, preamplifiers, and much more.

On the output side, the DMP-A8 offers both RCA and XLR analog outputs, allowing you to connect active speakers or power amplifiers directly to the unit. In addition, the DMP-A8 also has a Trigger out port, which makes it possible to connect to power amplifier systems.
