Eversolo returns this time with its DMP-A8, a network player and DAC of the highest quality and incredible versatility. A true centerpiece of today's HiFi system, it offers a wide range of uses, from local file playback to accessing your music library from network devices or your favorite streaming applications. Its meticulous design also ensures the purest, most precise sound reproduction.

Exclusive EOS audio engine

The DMP-A8 uses the proprietary EOS (Eversolo Original Sampling-rate Audio Engine) operating system, supporting audio output at all sampling rates. In other words, any audio playback can fully bypass the Android SRC limitation, supporting audio pass-through from third-party applications for perfectly bit-perfect playback.

Versatile playback

The DMP-A8 supports almost all available high-resolution file formats, including CD formats (FLAC, WAV, APE), DSD512 (.dsf, .dff, .iso, .dst) as well as stereo and multichannel streams.

Aluminum chassis

The chassis of the Eversolo DMP-A8 is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, CNC-machined with the utmost precision for a particularly robust unit. The brushed front and anodized body form a beautiful combination of classicism and modernity.

Large LCD touchscreen

The front of the device features a magnificent, large 6" Full HD LCD touchscreen. It features a superb interface, designed to offer excellent ergonomics for a fluid, intuitive user experience. You'll find it extremely easy to access all your music and the DMP-A8's many functions.

Advanced connectivity

The streamer DMP-A8 can be used as a digital player to connect to various high-end DACs via its I2S HDMI, USB, optical or coaxial outputs. As a DAC, it also offers numerous digital inputs: two coaxial, two optical, as well as USB-B for connecting a computer or smartphone. Used as a high-performance preamplifier, the device features a balanced XLR input and an unbalanced RCA input. What's more, the DMP-A8 also incorporates Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, enabling simple wireless connection to a wide range of sources. Finally, the DMP-A8 can also be linked directly to active speakers or power amplification via its unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR pre-out outputs. A trigger output completes the package, enabling you to integrate the DMP-A8 into an automatic ignition chain.

Flexible storage expansion

A built-in M.2 NVME SSD slot is accessible from the underside of the device, making it quick and easy to install an SSD (sold separately) without completely opening the unit. The DMP-A8 supports SSD capacities of up to 4TB. This means you can expand your storage capacity with a fast, reliable and silent system for local file playback. What's more, it's also possible to connect an external storage device directly via the device's USB OTG port.

Dual power supply design

In order to eliminate interference and noise between system circuitry (data processing, display, etc.) and audio circuitry, and to increase sound purity, a design with separate power supply circuits is employed here. The linear power supply consists of a multi-wound toroidal transformer specifically designed to perfectly match the characteristics of analog audio circuits. The high-quality switched-mode power supply is optimized for the system circuit. This architecture drastically reduces ripple and interference for high-end audio processing. In addition, the DMP-A8's linear power supply benefits from an intelligent input voltage switching system, enabling it to adapt automatically to the signal received.

3rd generation XMOS XU316 USB interface

With its 3rd-generation XMOS XU316 USB interface, the DMP-A8 is faster with higher bandwidth, ensuring lossless signal transmission even for high-resolution streams. The DMP-A8's USB ports support streams up to DSD512 Native and PCM 32bit 768kHz.

DAC AK4499EX + AK4191EQ

The DMP-A8 benefits from AKM's latest innovation in digital-to-analog conversion. It features the AK4499EX and AK4191EQ DAC chips, and takes advantage of proprietary Velvet Sound technology to ensure sound reproduction that's as precise as it is rich and detailed.

Accusilicon dual clock

Two Accusilicon femtosecond oscillators with ultra-low phase noise provide the decoding circuits with a clean clock signal (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz). This design effectively eliminates jitter to ensure extremely accurate conversion and decoding of audio signals, promoting very wide dynamic range and beautiful sound definition.

Fully balanced analog preamplifier circuit

The DMP-A8 features a fully balanced, high-performance preamplifier with XLR and RCA analog inputs. It also benefits from +10dB analog gain and, when combined with R2R volume control, ensures very low noise and distortion at output.

R2R volume controller

The DMP-A8 benefits from a fully symmetrical R2R volume controller, using precision resistors and relays to provide precise sound level control, effectively removing distortion and noise from the analog signal. It also incorporates a volume protection system, automatically reducing excessive volume levels to a set level when the unit is switched on. The use of R2R analog volume control ensures that the DAC is able to operate optimally at all times.

HDMI ARC

The DMP-A8 is equipped with an HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) input, and can be connected to display devices such as TVs and projectors that also feature this functionality. This enables the separation and transfer of audio signals from the HDMI signal to the DMP-A8, allowing you to enjoy the device's sound quality with your TV or projection system.

Carefully selected components

The main components of the audio circuit are of the highest quality, including German WIMA capacitors, Nichicon and Murata audio capacitors, Japanese Omron relays, American Texas Instruments OPAs, and more. This meticulous selection of components enables the DMP-A8 to deliver professional sound quality.
