A new reference in its class.
Eversolo DMP-A8 is Eversolo's new flagship model, whose features, component quality, mechanical construction and sound quality set a new reference in its class. As a new feature compared to Eversolo's other models, this model includes, among others, HDMI ARC input, a very versatile parametric equalizer for making room corrections or modifying the speaker playback to better suit your preferences, a Bluetooth transmitter for connecting e.g. wireless Bluetooth headphones, etc. We expect this model to be a sales success like the DMP-A6.
The result of long development work
The Eversolo DMP-A8 is the result of a long development process, the design and implementation of which took into account the feedback given by enthusiasts. The DMP-A8 includes many features that are not found in similarly priced competitor models and which make the DMP-A8 a unique option in its class. The DMP-A8 includes a quad-core processor and large memory capacity that are optimized for music playback. Numerous digital inputs and outputs, multi-channel DSD HDMI output, and HDMI ARC input, AKM's reference-class D/A chipsets, a fully balanced structure and impressive mechanical quality produce a result that many competitors ask for many times the price.
EOS audio processing
EOS (Eversolo original sampling-rate audio engine) is a technology developed by Eversolo engineers that completely bypasses Android's SC limitations, enabling bit-accurate audio playback from 3rd party applications - e.g. Apple Music hi-res direct output.
Online music services
The DMP-A8 offers comprehensive support for the most popular music streaming services on the internet, such as Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, etc. Thanks to continuous development, new services are added at regular intervals based on user feedback.
Extensive support for Hi-Res files
The DMP-A8 supports almost all Hi-Res audio formats, including CD-quality formats (FLAC, WAV, APE), DSD512 (.dsf/.dff/.iso/.dst) stereo/multichannel and MQA, etc.
Large LCD touch screen
The Eversolo DMP-A8 is equipped with a large 6-inch high-resolution touchscreen. The DMP-A8's simple yet elegant user interface makes controlling settings, your music library, and third-party apps easy and effortless. It works as smoothly as a mobile phone.
DOH chipsets for multi-channel DSD HDMI and HDMI ARC support
As a multi-channel network player, the DMP-A8 adopts DOH chipsets specifically for HDMI audio playback and Hi-Res DSD music output. Not only does it support DSD Native multi-channel native output and D2P output (PCM multi-channel output), it also provides high-resolution separate clock for HDMI. This allows it to be used as a digital turntable. In addition, the DMP-A8 has HDMI ARC support for easy connection of a TV to the DMP-A8. This feature further enhances the DMP-A8's user-friendliness and the range of possible device combinations.
Wide range of inputs and outputs
The DMP-A8 offers a very comprehensive range of inputs and outputs. Compare the connections offered by the DMP-A8 to many competing products and you will see that the DMP-A8 stands out from many competing products.
Internal high-speed M.2 SSD storage slot
The M.2 NVME 3.0 2280 SSD slot allows for fast mass storage installation without removing the cover. The maximum storage capacity is 2 TB. A fast, stable and silent solution - the key to local high-quality music playback.
High-quality power supply
The DMP-A8 effectively contains two power supplies. The power supply for the device's display, data processing, etc. is completely separated from the power supply for the audio side processing. The audio side power supply is based on a toroidal transformer whose characteristics have been optimized for the audio chipsets used in the DMP-A8. A high-quality switching power supply is responsible for supplying the components responsible for the display and operating system processes. All of this results in a blacker background from which the details of the music can emerge as undisturbed as possible.
3rd generation XMOS processor
The 3rd generation XMOS 316 processor ensures very fast data transfer and bandwidth when using USB interfaces. USB inputs support up to DSD512, PCM768@32bit, and MQA formats. Optical and coaxial inputs support up to DSD64 (DoP), PCM192@24bit frequencies.
Low jitter dual clocks
The DMP-A8 utilizes two Accusilicon low-jitter, high-precision clocks. Two high-precision oscillators (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz) are responsible for the processing of the 44.1KHz and 48KHz sample multipliers, resulting in lower jitter and more accurate signal processing.
Fully balanced preamp
The DMP-A8's signal chain is fully balanced from the D/A chipset to the analog XLR and RCA outputs, ensuring improved signal-to-noise ratio and channel separation.
R2R volume control
The DMP-A8 utilizes a fully symmetrical R2R volume control that utilizes very close tolerance resistors and relays. The result is a volume control that does not wander with volume, nor does it introduce distortion or noise into the signal chain. This is a true reference-class implementation that allows the DMP-A8 to be used as a high-end preamplifier, with various power amplifiers and active speakers.
Reference-class AKM D/A chipset
The DMP-A8 utilizes AKM's latest reference-class D/A converter chipsets. The chips used are the AK4499EX and AK4191EQ. AKM D/A converters are generally described as having a certain "analog" sound that brings a certain authority and warmth to music, bringing life and realism to music playback.
Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth module
The DMP-A8 supports BC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/apt HD/LDAC Bluetooth formats. You can easily connect your mobile device, computer, and other Bluetooth-compatible audio sources to the DMP-A8 and enjoy hassle-free music playback.
Controlling functions with the application
In addition to the touchscreen, the device's functions can be easily controlled via a free app for Android and Apple mobile devices. A traditional remote control for basic functions is also available for €20.
Adjustable filters
You can fine-tune the sound of the device by changing the settings of the D/A circuits' filters. The differences between the different settings are subtle, but worth experimenting with.
Versatile parametric equalizer
The DMP-A8 includes a parametric equalizer with very comprehensive adjustment options. You can adjust the sound balance of your system based on your room acoustics and your own preferences. A clear and easy-to-use graphical user interface makes making adjustments clear and easy. The adjustments made by the equalizer apply to all digital inputs and the device's internal streaming services. Analogue-connected audio sources cannot be adjusted with the equalizer, but their signal is routed untouched to the device's outputs. The equalizer settings also apply only to signals taken from the analogue RCA or XLR outputs.
Carefully selected components
The components critical to sound quality represent the top of the market, including WIMA capacitors, Nichicon and Murata audio capacitors, Japanese Omron relays, Texas Instruments operational amplifiers, etc. The picture inside the device also speaks volumes about the care taken in the implementation.
Robust mechanical structure
The mechanical construction of the DMP-A8 is impressive. You won't find thin metal covers or the like on this model. The mechanical construction of the device is suitable for a device in this price range.
Rip your own CDs directly to the DMP-A8
By connecting a USB-compatible external optical drive to the DMP-A8, you can copy the contents of your CD recordings directly to the DMP-A8 (install the memory into the DMP-A8's memory slot). You can then conveniently play your collection directly through the DMP-A8.
