EverSolo DMP-A8 Music Streamer, DAP, DAC, Pre-Amplifier

EverSolo DMP-A8 - Ultimate Perfection Accurate Representation of Sound

The DMP-A8 is a brand new audio product created by EverSolo, and it's capable of almost everything, combining Music Streamer, Digital Audio Player, DAC and Pre-amplifier with analogue inputs, all in one device. 

the DMP-A8 takes the concept that started with the DMP-A6 and expands on it in almost every way. The new DMP-A8 features a fully balanced analogue audio circuit with RCA and XLR analogue inputs and +10dB analogue gain helped by the R2R Advanced Analogue Volume Control Circuit composed of precision resistors and relays.

The DMP-A8 features the AKM AK4499EX and AK4191EQ Digital-Analog Separation DAC solution. A concept under the name Velvet Sound | Verita, rooted in the idea of "perfect re-creation of the original sound", it is dedicated to providing the most authentic sound and offering the listener an immersive acoustic experience. The DMP-A8 also features dual ACCUSILICON Femto clocks as found in the DMP-A6 Master Edition, and dual power supplies - a dedicated linear power supply for the analogue circuit and a high-performance low noise digital power supply for the digital board.

Elsewhere, the DMP-A8 gets additional digital inputs in the form of two Toslink optical ins, two coaxial RCA ins, and a dedicated HDMI ARC port. In addition to the digital outputs is a dedicated HDMI IIS port. The DMP-A8 also sports a 3rd generation XMOS 316 audio processor for faster and higher USB bandwidth ensuring lossless transmission of high-definition audio data.

EverSolo DMP-A8 World-Premiere Review

"This do-it-all gizmo is incredibly versatile. I don’t believe there is a feature that DMP-A8 doesn’t already have or won’t have shortly, like the Roon Ready certification. It possesses the most complete set of skills and features I’ve seen in a long time, especially when considering the price point. This is a slam dunk from EverSolo and I’m very excited to see what is coming next. I’ll remind you that this is a very well-made wired & wireless streamer, DAC, dedicated preamp, music server, and Roon endpoint, all performing above my expectations . . .  getting my stamp of approval and the highest honors."

Self-Developed EOS Audio Engine

EOS (EverSolo original sampling-rate) audio engine is developed by EverSolo engineers, with the support of outputting original sampling rate, that is, audio playback completely bypasses the Android SRC restriction, supporting the direct audio output of third-party apps (Apple Music hi-res Direct output).

Hi-Res Audio & Master Recording Decoding

The DMP-A8 is Hi-Res Audio certified by JAS, which equates to guaranteed superior sound quality.  Almost all ultra-high sampling master recording formats are supported by DMP-A8, including CD-quality formats (FLAC, WAV, APE), DSD512 (.dsf/.dff/.iso/.dst) stereo/multichannel and MQA. MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording.

VELVET SOUND is the brand that imparts "sonic philosophy" to the new generation of AKM audio products. The pinnacle flagship series, VELVET SOUND | VERITA, offers forward-thinking products with world-class performance. Rooted in the concept of "perfect re-creation of the original sound", it is dedicated to providing continuous enhancement of audio technology, presenting the most authentic sound, and offering listeners an immersive acoustic experience.

Digital Filters

The DAC setting of the DMP-A8 provides six digital filters with different modes corresponding to different sound characteristics, to meet a huge range of personal preferences and physical spaces.

Flexible DSP Functionality

The DMP-A8 incorporates a robust DSP processor that supports DSP volume control, PEQ, FIR Filter, HPF/LPF, Loudness Enhancement, Compression, and Delay.

Dual Accusilicon Femtosecond Clock Processing

Low-jitter high-precision dual Accusilicon Femtosecond clocks are integrated into the DMP-A8. Two high-precision crystal oscillators effectively reduce jitter and achieve more precise audio decoding.

3rd Generation XMOS 316 Audio Processor

With a 3rd generation XMOS 316 audio processor, the DMP-A8 has faster speed and higher USB bandwidth, ensuring the lossless transmission of high-definition audio data. The USB port supports DSD512 Native, PCM768kHz/32bit and MQA full decoding. The Optical and Coaxial ports support DSD 64 (DOP), PCM192kHz/24Bit. 

Fully Balanced Preamp Circuit

The DMP-A8 analog circuit adopts a fully balanced design from DAC chip to the XLR and RCA stereo output. It provides better noise immunity and improves channel separation by eliminating shared loops for stronger and more consistent signal quality. It also features a +10dB analog game and, when combined with the R2R analog volume control network, ensures ultra-low noise and distortion for the output.

R2R Volume Control Circuit

A fully balanced analog volume adjustment network composed of precision resistors and relays achieves accurate volume control, effectively suppressing distortion and noise in the analog signal. It also features volume protection, automatically reducing excessive volume to the designated safe level during startup or input interface switching. The incorporation of R2R analog volume control ensures that the DAX can operate at its optimal state continuously.

Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth Module

Connect mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and other compatible devices to the DMP-A8 via Bluetooth for seamless high-quality wireless music playback. The Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth module used by the DMP-A8 supports SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD/LDAC codecs and is compatible with Bluetooth 5.0.

Large LCD Touchscreen for Better User Interaction

The DMP-A8 is a professional streamer system equipped with a large 6" LCD high-definition touchscreen. The simple but responsive user interface runs as smoothly as a smartphone and provides intuitive touch controls for accessing system settings, your local music library, third-party apps, and more.

Rich Input and Output Ports

With its diverse talents and connections, the DMP-A8 easily integrates with just about any system. As a streaming source device, of course, it can be thought of as a digital turntable with access to a huge record collection via all its compatible streaming services and library of your own files.

The network streamer can connect with high-end decoding devices via the HDMI, USB, Optical and Coaxial digital output ports. Alternatively, as a decoder itself, the DMP-A8 connects with audio source equipment like PCs and mobile devices via the Coaxial, Optical, USB Type-B input ports, and wirelessly with APTX HD Bluetooth. As a high-performance preamplifier, it supports analog XLR/RCA inputs. Through the balanced XLR and single-ended RCA analog outputs, you can connect directly to active speakers or to a hi-fi stereo amplifier in your two-channel or multi-channel system.

Internal High-Speed M.2 SSD Slot

Expandable with additional storage, the DMP-A8 features an M.2 NVME SSD slot built into the underside of the chassis, allowing you to integrate a solid-state drive up to 4TB without needing to open up the streamer case. Faster, stable and with no noise, SSDs are ideal for local high-quality music playback. Additionally, storage devices can be connected externally through the USB OTG port of the DMP-A8. SSD sold separately.
