Eversolo DMP-A8 Gen 2 Network Music Streamer DAC and Analog Preamplifier - DMPA8G2

Eversolo DMPA8G2 Gen 2 Network Music Streamer DAC and Analog Preamplifier

The Eversolo DMPA8G2 DMP Streamer Series high-fidelity music streamer, DAC and analog preamplifier combines AK4499EXEQ conversion, AK4191EQ digital processing and analog R-2R volume control. Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Gigabit Ethernet connect online and network music libraries, while evotune PRO room correction and a 20-band parametric equalizer tailor playback to your room and preferences. HDMI ARC/eARC brings television or projector audio into the same Hi-Fi system, and XLR/RCA pre-outputs feed a power amplifier or active speakers. From streaming albums to integrating analog sources, it puts source selection and listening control in one component.

Key Features

8.6-in Touchscreen and Aluminum Construction

Browse your collection on a redesigned LCD interface that brings playback information, VU meters, spectrum displays and music-responsive visual effects into view. A smooth, damped rotary control handles volume, inputs and functions. The aerospace-grade aluminum enclosure combines solid construction with shielding against external interference, while an octa-core processor, 8 GB DDR5 memory and 64 GB eMMC storage support responsive browsing, app access and library management.

AKM Conversion and Balanced Analog Preamplification

Separate digital-processing and conversion stages use AK4191EQ and AK4499EXEQ chips with AKM Velvet Sound, an architecture designed to retain musical detail, separation and natural voices and instruments. The R-2R resistor ladder adjusts listening level in the analog domain rather than through digital attenuation. XLR and RCA analog inputs accommodate additional sources, with preamplifier gain up to +10 dB. Dual low-phase-noise clocks and separate linear and digital power sections support the audio circuitry.

For listeners comparing analog output performance, the XLR connection is specified at 0.000075% THD+N, with signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range both greater than 129 dB. These are XLR-specific figures, rather than specifications applied indiscriminately to every output.

Hi-Fi Connections, HDMI ARC/eARC and Adjustable Bass

Bring a CD transport into the system through optical or coaxial input, connect a computer through USB-B, or route TV and projector sound through HDMI ARC/eARC, which accepts stereo PCM up to 192 kHz/24-bit. As a digital transport, USB and IIS outputs support stereo Native DSD512 and PCM up to 768 kHz/32-bit; USB output requires a UAC-compliant external DAC. Eight IIS modes help match different DAC pin arrangements, while AES/EBU and optical/coaxial outputs offer additional digital connection choices.

A dedicated SUB output lets you add a subwoofer and adjust its crossover from 40-500 Hz. That flexibility helps integrate low-frequency playback with the rest of your Hi-Fi system rather than treating bass as a separate source.

Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet and SFP Networking

Choose dual-band Wi-Fi 6 for wireless network access or Gigabit Ethernet for a wired connection. The SFP port provides an alternative optical-network path with compatible modules.¹ For playback directly from a phone, tablet or computer, the Qualcomm QCC3095 receiver supports Bluetooth 5.4. These options accommodate both network-library listening and wireless playback from personal devices.

Streaming Services and Libraries up to 8 TB

Integrated services include TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music and Apple Music, with Spotify Connect Lossless, TIDAL Connect and Qobuz Connect among the supported playback methods.² DLNA and Network Audio Adapter add cross-device options. For your own collection, SMB, NFS and WebDAV bring NAS, home-server and supported private-cloud files into a library organized through automatic metadata classification.

The bottom-access M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 2280 slot accepts one optional SSD up to 8 TB, so a local collection can reside inside the component; the SSD is not included. USB OTG storage expansion provides another way to access music files.

EOS Playback, External-Drive CD Ripping and Digital Tools

The EOS audio engine bypasses Android sample-rate conversion for bit-perfect digital playback, including high-resolution output from third-party applications. Connect a separately required external CD drive to play or rip discs, retrieve artwork and track metadata, and use error handling and duplicate detection when building your library. System-wide fade-in/fade-out works across local music, integrated services and third-party apps, while selectable upsampling up to 16x adds another digital-processing option.

evotune PRO Room Correction and 20-Band PEQ

Room reflections, standing waves and geometry all shape what reaches your listening position. evotune PRO uses DRC-based modeling and FIR filtering to generate a room-specific correction filter. Calibration supports smartphone microphones and USB measurement microphones, with a professional USB microphone recommended for accuracy. Keep the room quiet and minimize movement during measurement; no measurement microphone is included.

For hands-on adjustment, the 20-band parametric equalizer lets you change frequency, gain and Q. FIR-filter import, loudness control and dynamic range compression provide additional ways to tailor playback. The EVC Volume Engine is designed to maintain a natural, balanced presentation across quieter and louder listening levels.

Eversolo Control and Included Dual-Mode Remote

Manage playback, volume, inputs, room correction and system settings through Eversolo Control on phone, tablet, Web and TV interfaces, with synchronized device status. The included alloy-cased remote offers Bluetooth and infrared operation when you prefer physical buttons. Wake-on-LAN provides network waking through wired Ethernet or SFP, provided the control-app device is on the same local network; it does not provide Wi-Fi wake support.

Footnotes:

¹ SFP modules are sold separately and must be compatible with the selected SFP switch. Supported options include Gigabit single-mode single-fiber, single-mode dual-fiber and SFP copper Ethernet modules. SFP+ is not supported. For an optical connection, use a pair of matching-brand, matching-type single-mode 1310 nm modules.

² Integrated music-service and Connect availability depends on service certification and firmware updates; not every named service is available in every software version.

Measured performance figures reflect manufacturer testing under specific conditions and may vary with system setup, settings and use.
