Streamer, DAC and analogue preamplifier in a single chassis
The Eversolo DMP-A8 Gen 2 combines a network streamer, DAC and analogue preamplifier in one unit. The aluminium chassis has a wide-body format (388 × 265 × 88 mm), the LCD touchscreen measures 8.6" with a redesigned interface, and a front knob adjusts volume, inputs and functions. An octa-core processor, 8 GB of DDR5 memory and 64 GB of storage make navigation quick; on the underside an M.2 NVMe slot takes an SSD of up to 8 TB (not included) for local music, without opening the unit.
AKM conversion, R-2R volume and separate power supplies
Conversion is handled by the AKM AK4499EXEQ + AK4191EQ pair, with OPA1612 operational amplifiers and dual ultra-low phase-noise clocks. Volume is adjusted in the analogue domain by an R-2R resistor ladder, with no digital attenuation, and the preamplifier stage is fully balanced. The power supply is dual, with separate linear and digital sections, and the internal architecture provides electrical isolation from the noise of connected devices. The declared figures on the XLR output are THD+N 0.000075% and a signal-to-noise ratio above 129 dB; decoding reaches DSD512 and PCM 768 kHz / 32 bit.
Inputs, outputs and room correction
The inputs include HDMI ARC/eARC for the TV, USB-B, optical, coaxial, Bluetooth 5.4 and a pair of analogue XLR and RCA inputs. On the output side there are preamplified XLR and RCA analogue outputs, a subwoofer output with a crossover adjustable from 40 to 500 Hz, and USB Audio, IIS, AES/EBU, optical and coaxial digital outputs. Networking is via Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6 or the SFP port for optical fibre (module not included). Spotify Connect Lossless, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect and DLNA are supported, together with built-in services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music and Apple Music. evotune™ PRO room correction and the 20-band parametric equaliser adapt the response to the room. A Bluetooth and infrared remote control is supplied.
