Overview

DMP-A8: EverSolo's masterpiece

The DMP-A8 is the spearhead of EverSolo's network audio players. A model at the cutting edge of audio engineering and technology, it is in itself a music streamer, a DAC (digital-to-analogue converter) and a pre-amplifier. Dressed all in premium aluminium, it's an elegant, sophisticated product that will bring out the full potential of your Hi-Fi environment by offering you the purest, most accurate sound reproduction.

EOS audio engine, DSP processor and high-performance preamp

The DMP-A8 uses the proprietary EOS (EverSolo Sampling-rate Audio Engine) operating system, supporting audio output at all sampling rates. In other words, any audio playback can fully bypass the Android SRC limitation, supporting audio pass-through from third-party applications for perfectly bit-perfect playback.

With its 3rd generation XMOS XU316 USB interface, the DMP-A8 is faster with higher bandwidth, ensuring lossless signal transmission, including for high-resolution streaming. The DMP-A8's USB ports support streams up to native DSD512 and 32bit 768kHz PCM. The optical and coaxial ports support DSD64 (DoP), PCM192@24Bit.

The DMP-A8 is equipped with a fully balanced , high-performance preamplifier with XLR and RCA analogue inputs. It also benefits from +10dB analogue gain and, when combined with an R2R volume control, ensures very low levels of noise and distortion at the output.

Separate power supplies and dual Accusilicon clocks

In order to eliminate interference and noise between the system circuitry (data processing, display, etc.) and the audio circuitry, and to increase sound purity, a design with separate power supply circuits is employed here. The linear power supply consists of a multi-wound toroidal transformer specifically designed to match the characteristics of analogue audio circuits. Thehigh-quality switched-mode power supply is optimised for the system circuit.

Two Accusilicon femtosecond oscillators with ultra-low phase noise provide the decoding circuits with a clean clock signal (45.1584MHz and 49.152MHz). This design effectively eliminates jitter.

The DMP-A8 is equipped with an HDMI ARC input and can be connected to display devices such as TVs and projectors that have this feature. This allows the separation and transfer of audio signals from the HDMI signal to the DMP-A8, so you can enjoy the sound quality of the device with your TV or projection system.

    EverSolo DMP-A8 ?

    Guten Tag
    Richtig ..ich habe den ES DMP A8 erhalten - konnte mich aber erst vor kurzer Zeit etwas mit dem Gerät beschäftigen.
    My first impression - Toll!
    Die Haptik, das Aussehen und die Bedienung erste Klasse. I'll be able to work more closely with the DMP and its possibilities
    widmen, wenn ich mehr Zeit habe.
    Angeschlossen (im Moment):
    - Smart-TV > DMP eARC > XLR > Aktivboxen Nupert RC 6000
    - DMP USB Sticks / Internetradio / Spotify > Coax > Aktivboxen Nupert RC 6000
    Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Gerät !

    freundliche Grüsse urs
