Advanced AKM DAC Architecture

At the heart of the Eversolo DMP A8 Gen 2 is an advanced AK4499EXEQ DAC combined with the AK4191EQ digital processor. This separates key stages of digital processing and digital to analogue conversion, allowing each section of the signal path to be carefully optimised.

The result is a highly detailed and transparent presentation with excellent separation, a clean background and natural musical expression. The DMP A8 Gen 2 supports high resolution PCM audio up to 768kHz and 32 bit as well as native DSD512, making it suitable for demanding high resolution music collections.

Its impressive specifications include exceptionally low THD plus N of 0.000075 percent and signal to noise performance of up to 129dB through the XLR output.

High Precision R 2R Volume Control

The DMP A8 Gen 2 is equipped with a high precision R 2R resistor ladder volume control operating in the analogue domain. This helps maintain musical dynamics and detail across the volume range without relying solely on conventional digital attenuation.

Combined with its fully balanced analogue preamplifier architecture, the DMP A8 Gen 2 can connect directly to a power amplifier or active loudspeakers, making it possible to build a highly capable minimalist stereo system without a separate preamplifier.

Extensive Connectivity

One of the biggest advantages of the Eversolo DMP A8 Gen 2 is its exceptional connectivity.

The balanced XLR and RCA analogue outputs make it easy to connect to power amplifiers, integrated amplifiers and active speakers. XLR and RCA analogue inputs also allow external analogue sources to be incorporated into the system.

Digital connectivity includes optical, coaxial and AES EBU outputs, while USB audio output supports up to native DSD512 and PCM 768kHz and 32 bit with a compatible external DAC.

For television users, HDMI ARC and eARC provide a convenient way to integrate high quality TV sound into a dedicated stereo system.

Stream Music from Your Favourite Services

The DMP A8 Gen 2 provides an extensive music streaming ecosystem, with integrated access to leading services including TIDAL, Qobuz, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer and other platforms, subject to platform certification and firmware support.

It also supports Spotify Connect Lossless, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, DLNA and Network Audio Adapter functionality.

This means you can enjoy music from your preferred streaming service while controlling playback directly from the Eversolo system or compatible mobile devices.

Your Music Library, All in One Place

For serious music collectors, the DMP A8 Gen 2 offers powerful network music library capabilities. It supports SMB, NFS and WebDAV, allowing access to music stored on NAS drives, computers, servers and other network storage devices.

An M 2 NVMe SSD slot also allows internal storage expansion up to 8TB. The SSD is installed separately, giving users the flexibility to build a large local music library without relying entirely on network storage.

Wi Fi 6 and SFP Network Connectivity

The Eversolo DMP A8 Gen 2 supports dual band Wi Fi 6 for fast and stable wireless network performance, while Gigabit Ethernet provides a reliable wired connection.

A dedicated SFP optical network port adds another option for users seeking electrical isolation between their network infrastructure and audio system. This makes the DMP A8 Gen 2 particularly versatile for high end network audio installations.

evotune PRO Room Correction

Room acoustics can have a major influence on the sound of any stereo system. The DMP A8 Gen 2 addresses this with Eversolo evotune PRO room correction.

The system analyses the listening environment and creates a customised correction filter. It can work with suitable measurement microphones and supports advanced correction using FIR filtering.

For rooms where bass response, reflections or tonal balance are difficult to control through speaker placement alone, evotune PRO provides an additional way to optimise system performance.

Large Touchscreen and Intuitive Control

The new 8.6 inch LCD touchscreen provides a clear and engaging way to browse music, control playback and manage system settings. The redesigned user interface includes album artwork, music information, VU meters, spectrum displays and dynamic visualisation.

The system can also be controlled using the Eversolo Control application, compatible mobile devices and the supplied remote control, giving users multiple ways to operate their music system.

Designed for a High End Stereo System

The Eversolo DMP A8 Gen 2 can be used as the central source component in a wide variety of Hi Fi systems.

Connect it to a power amplifier and passive speakers for a minimalist high end stereo setup. Pair it with an integrated amplifier for advanced digital streaming and DAC performance. Alternatively, use its balanced outputs with active speakers for a clean and powerful modern audio system.

The dedicated subwoofer output also makes it easy to add a subwoofer and enhance low frequency performance, with adjustable crossover control from 40Hz to 500Hz.
