Proprietary EOS Audio Engine
The DMP-A8 uses the proprietary EOS (Eversolo Original Sampling-rate Audio Engine) operating system, which supports audio outputs at all sampling rates. In other words, any audio playback can completely bypass the Android SRC restriction (Android Mixer) and supports audio pass-through from third-party apps for bit-perfect playback. It 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 and Large Touch Display
The housing of the Eversolo DMP-A8 is made of high-quality aircraft aluminum, precisely CNC-machined to form a particularly robust unit. The brushed front and anodized housing create a beautiful combination of classic and modern. The front of the device features a six-inch Full HD LCD touchscreen with an ergonomic interface that provides a fluid and intuitive user experience, allowing you to easily access your music and the many functions of the DMP-A8.
Special Connectivity Options
The DMP-A8 can be used as a digital player to connect various other 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, and USB-B to connect a computer or smartphone. As a high-performance preamplifier, the device offers a balanced XLR input and an unbalanced RCA input. In addition, the DMP-A8 features Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, allowing it to easily connect wirelessly to numerous sources. The DMP-A8 can also be connected directly to active speakers or a power amplifier via its unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR outputs, and a trigger output allows you to integrate the DMP-A8 into an automatic power-on chain.
Audiovisual & Storage
Six digital filters with different modes allow for varying sound reproduction as desired. Numerous displays with meters and audio spectrums are available, providing an aesthetic visual experience. An M.2 SSD slot NVME is integrated into the bottom of the device, allowing for quick and easy installation of an SSD (sold separately) without fully opening the device. The DMP-A8 supports SSDs with a capacity of up to 4 TB. This expands the storage capacity with a fast, reliable, and quiet system for playing local files. Furthermore, it is also possible to connect an external storage device directly via the device's USB OTG port.
Dual Power Supply Design
To eliminate interference and noise between the system circuits (data processing, display, etc.) and the audio circuits and to increase sound purity, a design with separate power supply circuits is used. The linear power supply consists of a toroidal transformer specially tailored to the characteristics of analog audio circuits. The high-quality switching power supply is optimized for the system circuit. This architecture drastically reduces ripple and interference, thus enabling high-end audio processing. The DMP-A8's linear power supply features intelligent input voltage switching.
3rd Generation XMOS XU316 USB Interface
With the third-generation XMOS XU316 USB interface, the DMP-A8 is faster with higher bandwidth, ensuring lossless signal transmission even with high-resolution streams. Thus, 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 is equipped with the AK4499EX and AK4191EQ DAC chips and utilizes proprietary Velvet Sound technology to ensure a precise, rich, and detailed sound reproduction.
Dual Accusilicon Clock
Two Accusilicon femtosecond oscillators with extremely low phase noise provide the decoding circuits with a clean clock signal (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz). This design effectively suppresses jitter, ensuring extremely precise conversion and decoding of audio signals, which favors a very large dynamic range and beautiful sound definition.
Fully Balanced Analog Preamplifier Circuit
The DMP-A8 is equipped with a fully balanced, particularly powerful preamplifier with analog XLR and RCA inputs. It also benefits from an analog gain of +10dB and, combined with an R2R volume control, ensures very low noise and very low distortion at the output.
R2R Volume Control
The DMP-A8 benefits from a fully balanced R2R volume control, which uses precision resistors and relays to provide precise volume control that effectively suppresses distortion and noise in the analog signal. Additionally, a volume protection is built in, which automatically reduces excessive volume levels to a defined level when the device is turned on. The use of an analog R2R volume control ensures that the DAC can operate optimally even in continuous operation.
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 have this function. This allows for the separation and transmission of audio signals from the HDMI signal to the DMP-A8, so that the sound quality of the device can be enjoyed with TVs or projection systems.
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 OPs, and many others. This careful selection of components used allows the DMP-A8 to deliver professional sound quality.
Professional Settings & Outstanding Audio Quality
To reproduce your music faithfully down to the smallest detail, the DMP-A8 was precisely tuned during its development. Thus, it offers incredible measurement values.
A Powerful and Flexible DSP
The DMP-A8 also features a powerful DSP processor that integrates DSP volume control, a parametric equalizer, FIR filters, HPF/LPF filters, bass enhancement, compressor, and delay management.
Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth Receiver Chip
The Bluetooth 5.0 input of the Eversolo DMP-A8 uses a Qualcomm QCC5125 receiver chip, which allows music to be streamed wirelessly, for example, from a smartphone or tablet, and this in very good sound quality thanks to the aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD, and LDAC transmission codecs.
Favorite Streaming Services at Your Fingertips
The DMP-A8 provides access to various popular music streaming platforms and web radios such as Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music, Apple Music, HighResAudio, or Paradise Radio. The list of available streaming services may still change with the receipt of new certifications. Further streaming services are planned with the release of the next firmware versions.
A Music Library for Local Playback
Eversolo's music library system not only offers excellent local playback but also a practical and intuitive user interface. Music files can be added from a local hard drive or via network storage. Metadata is automatically retrieved from the cloud to build a real library with artist names, album covers, CUE files, etc. Music is displayed in categories by genre, album, artist, and sampling rate. Of course, you can also design your own playlists.
Numerous Supported Network Protocols
The DMP-A8 supports numerous network protocols, including NFS, SMB v1/v2/v3, and UPnP / DLNA, allowing music stored on a NAS or a network device connected to the local network to be browsed and played. Even high-resolution audio streams can be played without interruptions.
Efficient File Management System
The DMP-A8 provides a powerful file management system that allows files to be copied, pasted, cut, and deleted from a local storage device or a network device. The USB-C port can be configured in OTG mode, making the connection of the DMP-A8 to a computer completely seamless for managing all files. With the SMB sharing function, files from a connected mobile device or an internal SSD can be transferred to other playback devices, such as a computer or a NAS on the network. In this way, the DMP-A8 can be used as a network storage device that can be accessed at any time.
Playing & Ripping CDs
The DMP-A8 allows playing CDs by connecting an external player (not included) via USB. The CD ripping application uses a data validation system and an error correction function to store audio data losslessly. The algorithm intelligently matches album and track names, rips files, and automatically generates album and artist information.
Smart Control App
A mobile control app for Android and iOS has been specially developed for the DMP-A8. In addition to basic playback control and management of local system settings, the app offers asynchronous access to data from your music library, system applications, and menus. It also allows access to streaming services directly via the user interface. An infrared and Bluetooth remote control is included. The WoL (Wake on LAN) function is also supported to remotely power the device on and off via the network (wired network connection required).
