Exceptional Design. Effortless Elegance.
Aerospace-grade aluminum chassis, solid yet refined. Clean and understated, with a premium tactile feel. The metal chassis provides natural shielding, reducing external interference for a quieter background and greater clarity. More than a chassis, it becomes part of the listening experience, unifying form and sound.
Flagship DAC Architecture
Each component plays a dedicated role. The DMP-A8 Gen 2 pairs the AK4191EQ digital processor with the AK4499EXEQ DAC, allowing each stage of the signal path to be optimized for maximum precision. Ensuring precise processing at every stage of the signal path. From lossless formats such as FLAC, WAV, and APE to DSD512 playback. More musical details are preserved, with a quieter background and greater separation.Combined with AKM’s Velvet Sound™ technology, Vocals, instruments, and spatial imaging become more natural and engaging.
Less Interference, More Detail
A dual-power architecture separates power supply for digital and analog sections. Power paths are isolated at the source to reduce cross-circuit interference. When power is compromised, detail is lost and dynamics are constrained. A cleaner power foundation ensures stable operation of the DAC and analog circuits. The linear power supply achieves an ultra-low 20μV noise floor, preserving subtle signal variations. Removed constraints allow the sound to fully unfold.
Timing, Perfected
Time is the foundation of digital audio.Built-in dual ultra-low phase noise clocks precisely support both 44.1kHz and 48kHz sampling families.By stabilizing the time base at the source, they reduce the impact of jitter.With more accurate timing, sound becomes more clearly defined, details are more focused, and the soundstage opens naturally.
Eversolo AuralEngine
Powered by the proprietary Eversolo AuralEngine, a multi-core USB Audio processor optimized for high-resolution audio transmission. Supporting DSD512 Native and PCM 768kHz / 32bit, it delivers a direct signal path without the need for a computer. A simpler path. Purer local music.
IIS Output, Multi-Mode Support
The DMP-A8 Gen 2 offers eight configurable IIS output modes for broad DAC compatibility. Fewer compatibility issues, less repeated setup. More time for music. Once connected, great sound follows naturally.
Deep Bass Extension
Dedicated SUB output connects easily to a subwoofer for fuller low-frequency performance. Stronger impact. Richer atmosphere. Bringing with a more immersive experience.
The Core of Home Audio
DMP-A8 Gen 2 features built-in HDMI ARC/eARC, supporting lossless audio return from TVs and projectors. Transform TV audio into a true Hi-Fi experience.
SFP Pure Transmission
Dedicated SFP optical network port enabling pure optical signal transmission. Providing a “zero-interference” streaming access solution for users with extreme demands on network purity. Cleaner data delivery, resulting in more natural sound reproduction.
Seamless Streaming Experience
Native integration of leading global streaming services, including Apple Music, Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer, etc. Preserving each platform’s native features, content ecosystem, and user experience. Delivering a seamless and intuitive listening experience. Subscriptions remain active, with no need for additional migration of content or services. From content discovery to playback, the experience is unified. With deep system integration, music becomes truly boundaryless.
Advanced Streaming Hub
Supports a wide range of leading streaming protocols, including Spotify Connect Lossless, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, DLNA/UPnP, and Network Audio Adapter. Enables direct connection across devices and platforms. No additional setup required—bridging ecosystems seamlessly. Open, unrestricted connectivity.
Vast Music Library, Unified
Supports mainstream file-sharing protocols including SMB, NFS, and WebDAV. Connect effortlessly to NAS, private cloud, and network storage devices. Whether your music is stored locally, in the cloud, or on a home server, your entire library is easy to access and manage. No more switching between devices or folders—everything stays organized in one place.
Music Visualized
A redesigned UI delivers richer information and a more immersive experience. Layout, motion, and hierarchy have been fully restructured for clarity and intuitiveness. Alongside classic VU meters and spectrum views, new dynamic visual effects are introduced. Light, motion, and spectrum visuals move in sync with the music. Turning musical emotion into a visual experience.
evotune™ PRO Room Correction
Every room shapes the way sound is heard. Reflections, standing waves, and room geometry all influence tonal balance and soundstage performance. The upgraded evotune™ Room Correction System goes beyond frequency-response adjustment. It analyzes how sound behaves throughout the listening environment. DRC-based modeling and FIR filtering process frequency, timing, and spatial information together for more stable correction and clearer imaging.
Mainstream Master-Quality Format Support
Supports a wide range of high-fidelity audio formats, including DSD, MQA, FLAC, APE, and WAV, meeting the demands of high-resolution playback. From classical to electronic music, experience every recording with master-quality fidelity.
20-Band Professional Equalizer
The 20-band PEQ module allows precise adjustment of frequency, gain, and Q values. Additional advanced tools include FIR filter import, loudness control, and dynamic range compression. Fine-grained adjustment enables the system to adapt to both room acoustics and personal preferences.
Eversolo Control
Seamlessly switch control between phone, tablet, Web, and TV. Playback, volume, input, room correction, and system settings are unified in one clear interface. Device status syncs in real time, with fast and responsive feedback. Browse your library, fine-tune the sound, and control the entire system with ease.
Control at Your Fingertips
The DMP-A8 Gen 2 comes with a dual-mode remote that supports both Bluetooth and infrared. Its alloy casing is seamlessly crafted for a smooth, refined touch, allowing you to effortlessly manage your music.
