Product Summary
The Eversolo DMP-A8 is a high-performance network music streamer, DAC and fully balanced analogue preamplifier designed to act as the central hub of a premium hi-fi system. It brings together high-resolution streaming, local music-library management, comprehensive digital connectivity and genuine analogue preamplifier functionality in one elegant aluminium chassis.
Its digital conversion section combines the flagship AKM AK4191EQ digital processor with the AK4499EX DAC. By separating digital processing from the final digital-to-analogue conversion stage, this architecture is designed to minimise interference and provide a clean, detailed and natural musical presentation.
An XMOS XU316 USB audio processor supports native DSD512 and PCM playback up to 768kHz/32-bit. The DMP-A8 can play music from integrated streaming services, network storage, USB drives and an optional internally fitted M.2 NVMe SSD, providing a flexible solution for both streaming and extensive locally stored music collections.
Unlike many conventional streamers, the DMP-A8 incorporates a high-performance fully balanced analogue preamplifier. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs allow external analogue sources to be connected, while XLR and RCA variable outputs can feed a power amplifier, active loudspeakers or another analogue component.
The preamplifier section offers up to +10dB of analogue gain and uses a precision R-2R resistor-ladder volume-control network. This allows volume to be adjusted in the analogue domain while helping preserve dynamic range, signal integrity and low-noise performance throughout the listening range.
A 6-inch colour touchscreen provides direct access to playback, music libraries, inputs, outputs and system settings. The DMP-A8 can also be controlled using the Eversolo Control app or the supplied remote control, while a 12V trigger output allows compatible power amplifiers to switch on and off with the streamer.
