Eversolo DMP-A8 Music Streamer & Switchable Hi-Res DAC
The DMP-A8 by Eversolo integrates the proprietary EOS (Eversolo Original sampling-rate audio engine), circumventing Android SRC limitations and enabling direct audio passthrough of third-party apps, exemplifying its commitment to versatile and high-fidelity audio experiences such as Apple Music hi-res Direct output.
Boasting support for an extensive array of ultra-high sampling master recording formats, including CD-quality formats (FLAC, WAV, APE), DSD512 (.dsf/.dff/.iso/.dst) stereo, and MQA, the DMP-A8 ensures a comprehensive range of playback and decoding capabilities.
Crafted from aviation-grade aluminum with a CNC machined body, the DMP-A8's brushed panel and frosted anodized finish embody a unique fusion of classic and modern design elements, catering to the preferences of audio enthusiasts.
Featuring a sizable 6" LCD high-definition touchscreen and an exclusive user interface, the DMP-A8 provides an intuitive and seamless interactive experience for system settings, local music library, and third-party apps.
With a plethora of inputs and outputs, the DMP-A8 serves as a digital turntable connecting to high-end DACs through HDMI IIS, USB, optical, and coaxial outputs, supporting analog inputs (XLR and RCA), APTX HD Bluetooth audio input, and facilitating direct pairing with active speakers or power amplifiers through analog preamp outputs RCA and XLR, with Trigger out port for power amplifier system linkage.
Facilitating flexible storage expansion, the DMP-A8 incorporates an M.2 NVMe SSD slot for convenient installation of SSDs up to 4 TB, enhancing speed, reducing noise, and providing stable storage for high-quality local music, with additional support for external storage devices through the USB OTG port.

Simpler than my old digital setup! About time I combined streaming and DAC in one component. Now I have more detail, air between instruments, and a wider soundstage.
Pros: very nice build quality, relatively easy and intuitive to set up, more stable wifi connectivity than I found with some other products, nice preamp, and certainly very feature rich
Cons: in everyday use, navigating the app and user interface can be cumbersome, sluggish responsiveness periodically, and there definitely needs to be more work on how the A8 decides what cover art to display
On the all important question of sound, which is admittedly very subjective, I have to say that I was somewhat disappointed in the level of clarity and detail that my ears were hearing through the A8, but it may just be that my other components simply fit better with ESS than with AKM.
