Eversolo - DMP-A8 Gen 2 - Streaming DAC / Preamplifier (ETA early October)

Successor to the EISA Award-winning DMP-A8. The Eversolo DMP-A8 Gen 2 music streamer combines AK4499EXEQ + AK4191EQ separated DAC architecture, THD+N 0.000075%, a dual ultra-low phase-noise clock system, evotune™ Pro room correction, a new 8.6-inch display, and an SFP fibre network input — in a single, elegant all-aluminium chassis.

The Next Generation of an Award-Winning Digital Hub

The Eversolo DMP-A8 earned the 2024–2025 EISA Best Product Award. Its successor doesn't rest on that achievement — it builds on it, systematically and comprehensively. The DMP-A8 Gen 2 delivers enhanced performance across every dimension: hardware, system capability, room correction, user interaction, and connectivity. It is the all-in-one high-fidelity music streaming platform for those who demand the full picture from every source they own.

Combining a streamer, DAC, preamplifier, and music management system in a single elegant all-aluminium chassis, the DMP-A8 Gen 2 is designed for audiophiles who value outstanding sound quality and exceptional versatility — and who appreciate a platform that unifies every source into one coherent, beautifully controlled system.

AK4499EXEQ + AK4191EQ — Separated Architecture, Refined

The DMP-A8 Gen 2 continues with the proven combination of the AK4191EQ digital processor and AK4499EXEQ DAC — a separated digital processing and analogue conversion architecture that allows each stage of the signal path to be optimised independently for maximum precision. A fully balanced analogue preamplifier architecture and precision R-2R volume control system ensure stable dynamic performance and natural tonal layering across all volume levels.

Decoding capability spans native DSD512 and PCM up to 768kHz/32-bit. THD+N is as low as 0.000075%, with SNR and DNR reaching 129dB — allowing even the finest musical details to emerge with clarity and ease against a genuinely quiet background.

Dual Ultra-Low Phase-Noise Clock System

The DMP-A8 Gen 2 adopts a dual ultra-low phase-noise clock system for a stable timing reference with reduced jitter. Temperature control minimises the impact of environmental variations on frequency stability, improving timebase accuracy at the source. The I/O interface section also supports adaptive external 10MHz clock input, enabling integration with professional-grade standalone clock systems for those building reference-level setups.

64-Bit Octa-Core — 8GB RAM, 64GB Storage

A brand-new 64-bit high-performance octa-core main processor, paired with 8GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, delivers the headroom needed for large-scale music library management, complex multitasking, and future feature expansion. Music library scanning and indexing can handle up to 200,000 tracks in approximately two hours. The upgraded Eversolo AuralEngine™ USB audio processor further optimises audio data transmission and scheduling logic for stable, high-resolution processing during both input and playback.

New 8.6-Inch Immersive Art Display & Redesigned UI

The DMP-A8 Gen 2 introduces a new 8.6-inch artistic display with an all-new UI system that goes well beyond information presentation. VU meters, dynamic spectrum analysis, and multiple artistic interface styles respond in real time to the rhythm and energy of the music — turning the listening session into a complete audiovisual experience. Interface hierarchy and operational logic have been thoroughly optimised for more natural and fluid music browsing, playback control, and system management.

Eversolo DMP-A8 Gen 2 Flexible & Fully Isolated Connectivity

The DMP-A8 Gen 2 provides optical and coaxial digital inputs for connection to TVs, CD transports, and other digital sources. XLR and RCA analogue inputs accommodate external front-end equipment. USB Audio and professional AES digital outputs enable use as a high-performance digital transport. A newly added SFP optical network interface provides a more isolated network transmission solution. A dedicated SUB output supports bass system expansion. The I/O interface section incorporates a fully isolated design throughout — shielding critical circuits from connected devices and network-related noise for a cleaner signal path and a more naturally resolved background.

evotune™ Pro Room Correction

The upgraded evotune™ Pro room correction offers enhanced bass control and more advanced acoustic correction. Custom target curves, personalised tuning profiles, and FIR correction filters enable precise adaptation to real-world listening environments. New algorithms cover expert PEQ, crossover, HPF, room correction, and preset bass control — the most capable room correction Eversolo has offered.

A Complete Streaming Ecosystem

The DMP-A8 Gen 2 natively integrates Deezer, Amazon Music, TuneIn Radio, Apple Music, TIDAL, and Qobuz, with TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, and DLNA support. Cross-platform playlist integration, global search, and intelligent categorisation unify all music sources into a single coherent library. Global Fade In & Fade Out across local playback, streaming, and third-party apps creates smooth, seamless transitions between sources.
