Eversolo DMP-A8 Master Gen 2 | Streamer DAC Preamplifier
Frequently Bought Together
Product Overview & Specifications
The Eversolo DMP-A8 Master Gen 2 is a flagship, all-in-one high-end music streamer, DAC, CD player, and fully balanced analog preamplifier. Housed in a precision aerospace-grade aluminum chassis with a redesigned 8.6-inch LCD touchscreen display, the Master Gen 2 builds upon the acclaim of its predecessor by introducing an integrated custom CD drive for direct playback and ripping, an upgraded Wi-Fi 6 wireless engine, and an SFP optical fiber network connection for complete electrical isolation.
Driven by an AKM Velvet Sound™ dual-chip DAC architecture (AK4118EQ + AK4499EXEQ) and a high-performance octa-core processing platform, the DMP-A8 Master Gen 2 handles up to PCM 32-bit/768kHz and native DSD512 with extraordinary dynamic range and a near-zero noise floor. Its fully balanced analog preamplifier stage utilizes an R-2R resistor-ladder volume control to preserve tonal integrity at any listening level. With an onboard M.2 NVMe SSD expansion slot, evotune™ PRO room correction, 20-band parametric EQ, and a dedicated subwoofer output, it serves as the ultimate digital-and-analog hub for reference audio systems.
KEY FEATURES & SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS
- Flagship AKM Velvet Sound™ DAC Architecture: Features separate AK4118EQ digital processing and AK4499EXEQ D/A conversion chips, supporting bit-perfect PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz and native DSD512.
- Integrated Custom CD Drive: Audio-optimized CD playback and high-precision ripping system with automated metadata recovery, cover art fetching, and error compensation.
- Fully Balanced Analog Preamplifier: Features discrete XLR balanced and RCA single-ended inputs with +10dB available gain, feeding directly into a precision R-2R resistor-ladder volume control (EVC Engine).
- SFP Fiber Network & Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity: Offers a pure optical SFP port for zero-interference network isolation alongside dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet, and Bluetooth 5.4 (Qualcomm QCC3095).
- Advanced DSP & evotune™ PRO Room Correction: Onboard 20-band parametric EQ (3.51Hz–20kHz), FIR filter import, dynamic range compression, and evotune™ PRO spatial room calibration.
- HDMI eARC & Multi-Mode IIS Output: HDMI eARC for TV/projector integration, plus an 8-mode configurable IIS output for seamless compatibility with external DACs.
- Expandable NVMe Storage & Comprehensive Streaming: Bottom-accessible M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD slot supports up to 8TB local storage. Native support for TIDAL, Qobuz, Apple Music, Spotify Connect Lossless, Roon Ready, AirPlay 2, and DLNA/SMB/NFS file shares.
- Aerospace-Grade Chassis & Dual Power Supplies: CNC-machined aluminum body housing isolated linear and digital power supplies to prevent electromagnetic crosstalk.
