      Just a thought: since both models start with DMP, I think you could omit that and simply say *A6* and *A8*

    • @KING_DRANZER
      @KING_DRANZER 5 месяцев назад

      Is there option to set XLR and RCA Analog outs with high-pass and low-pass filters so to convert the RCA to SUB out and have set the XLR to Speakers. I be surprised if it did not at that price point. That be a major turn down.

      Hey Smfins, Just wondering what your thoughts are and what you've experienced so far with your DMP-A8?
      I'm thinking of getting a Z8 as I already have a pre-amp and they use the same software it'd be a very similar user experience.
      Appreciation to you in advance!

    Can always count on your reviews! Thank you for going into places others have not. I knew it was good…but wow. Really happy to know the dsp is a digital stage adjustment to be able to use a separate dac.
    Although super enticing to have this all in one, I’d handily pay about $1200 for an upgraded streamer-only version with all the new digital features. I already love my oktodac 8 stereo!🙏🏼👍🏼

  • @mikkot
    @mikkot 7 месяцев назад +2

    Thanks for the thorough review of the A8. Agreed it's a feature packed thing. I am also super interested in the Athena so good to see some comparison just in terms of preamp quality. One thing that confused me - I think you mentioned A8 can adjust volume granularity (0.5-3db) but if the volume control is fully analog (?) with R2R, how is that possible?
    Also, if I may say so, would be great to get a review of the Athena. No-one has reviewed it on RUclips and since you have one, you should do it :)

  • @IGC067
    @IGC067 7 месяцев назад +8

    Good review as always. However, I've got "DMP" fatigue... i think "A6" or "A8" will do next time... we get the difference 🙂

  • @TANGORACING
    @TANGORACING 2 месяца назад

    THX for showing the relais clicks of the volume control! Hardly any reviewer showed that. I ordered an A8 and I was very surprised to hear those noise volume control which is not only a positive thing for everybody.. It might be a precise way to control volume, but hearing those clicks over the playback music can be very distracting too..

    • @Jayiyagi
      @Jayiyagi  2 месяца назад

      no problem. I don't constantly adjust the volume and I personally love the clicky r2r sound so it's a plus for me.

    @edbrumbaugh9202 7 месяцев назад +2

    Thanks Jay, great video as always. Agreed, the A8 is a nice addition, but did wish when I saw it that they had added a larger screen, but then I'm sure that's a cost driven decision and personally, to keep the price where it's at and gain all the features over the A6 ... I'll live with the same screen. Thanks again. Note: Larger screen probably coming with the DMP-A8 Master Edition ... preordered the A8 in December, scheduled to arrive tomorrow (Feb 5th), we'll see how long until the A8 Master Edition is announced! ;o)

  • @aceofspades6667
    @aceofspades6667 7 месяцев назад +5

    Crazy thorough review… Sonore ultrarendu with upgraded LPS for $1.5k is “the move” for a streamer IMO. Go with separate pre and Dac while using your phone or tablet for screen. Ever solo is on the come up

    • @mr.hansen5195
      @mr.hansen5195 7 месяцев назад

  • @simonupstone4924

    Good review. One feature missing for me is headphone out. As it’s a good looking “all in one” I don’t want to have to rely on another manufacturer’s head-amp in my rack as well. For my use case the Naim Unity Atom HE wins.

    • @johnratcliffe6438
      @johnratcliffe6438 6 месяцев назад

      I listened to the Atom HE at CanJam London. I really wasn't impressed TBH. It looks beautiful, and is well built, but sounded boring with my ZMF Atrium.

  • @heathaze_
    @heathaze_ 7 месяцев назад +2

    Love your videos, Jay. It would be very helpful though to know, on your preamp reviews, if they have a home-theater bypass or not.
    A great many of us simply don’t have the space to have a music-only system. I must use Dirac on surround sound material, and when I use a subwoofer.
    Is it possible on this unit? Thank you!

    If I like the bright and very reveling from the standard DMP 6, can I adjust the DMP 8 to the same brightness. What I’m hoping for an all in one unit to replace Anthem STR stereo preamp. The anthem is also bright but the detail and separation is slightly better. Any thoughts on the details and separation on DMP8. Thabks

  • @erikjanssen6475
    @erikjanssen6475 7 месяцев назад +3

    Great review as always. I always wonder the following: In case I would use the A8 fully, so incl pre-amp. I would still need a power amp. I also hear about Power amp sound characteristics, so how would this tonality of the pre amp part of the A8 be influenced by the power amp in the end? Would you choose a neutral sounding or is the impact limited?? All these seperate parts have an influence on the sound. Is there a certain rule to this? Like 80% pre amp, 20 % power amp or something like that ?

  • @matthewhoult1350
    @matthewhoult1350 7 месяцев назад +2

    Great review Jay I see that Ever Solo have removed the HDMI audio outout socket and therefore the ability to stream Multi Channel audio (DSD64 & PCM 192) directly to an AV Surround Sound Processor. Also I can't see that the unit is ROON Ready as this stage maybe this will be implemented in the field via firmware update I think ROON have a huge backlog and are the bottleneck here.

    @DF5152 7 месяцев назад +2

    Good day thanks for the great review. A streamer has been on my wish list for a long time. I think now I may be able to get one, but which one? There is a lot of talk about the a6's not having ARC. Can you tell me what the benefit of having ARC on one of these units? This will be plugged into my processor which already has ARC. Why would I use it in one of these devises? Thanks for any info!

  • @mentalistp.s.9915
    @mentalistp.s.9915 7 месяцев назад

    Hi Jay,
    I have a pre amp with my integrated amp, just wondering whether you reckon the Eversolo dac Z8 is on par with the dac of Dmp A8. I am thinking of upgrading to power amp later, but I was told the Vincent sv200 can be used as a pre amp. So just in your opinion, I am wondering whether I should get just a DAC in this case or get a streamer which I don’t really use the streaming function, as I am mainly listening through my computer

  • @jan.tovarnak
    @jan.tovarnak 5 месяцев назад +2

    How would you compare A8 vs A6 vs A6 Master when both pre-amp and dac section are out of the picture? I'm looking for a bit-perfect digital streamer that is easy to control and can be its own server (either via local storage or connected USB disk) - both A6 and A8 satisfy this but since I already have pretty decent DAC, I only need them as digital server+streamer and I'm not sure whether A6 / A6 Master / A8 have exactly the same performance as pure streamers or not (usually reviewers start comparing them at DAC section but what if all of those Eversolo unit are connected to external DAC via USB - will they perform the same?).

  • @user-xv4hh2ck9v
    @user-xv4hh2ck9v 7 месяцев назад

    very much like Roon DSP adjustment. Very comprehensive. The i2r socket is compatible with PS Audio sources ' DACS.. i like the ladder resistor volume again similar to my Pass Labs L amplifier that has adjustable gain via a toggle inside the pre

  • @mjmonjure
    @mjmonjure 4 месяца назад +1

    So am I correct in assuming that if I am using it as a streamer only and don’t care about the dsp, then either the a6 or a6 master will provide the same digital output into an external Dac?

  • @marcusbrsp
    @marcusbrsp 7 месяцев назад +4

    I was looking for a network streamer/transporter with a big display like that back in 2015 and was surprised to see how thin the market was. It was difficult enough to find any streamers at all. Eversolo DMP-6 (and DMP-8) is what I was expecting to find back then. I guess the hifi manufacturers are slow in their evolution. Anyway, better late than never!

    Pretty compelling. I’m in the market for a streaming transport and pitting this against something like an auralic aries g1.1 or a Lumin Mini. Aesthetically, I think I actually prefer the Eversolo.

    • @Pete.across.the.street

  • @richardramorino3319

  • @bernardoa.garciah.2316
    @bernardoa.garciah.2316 4 месяца назад

    Thank you very much Jay, great review!! Being this also a preamp, does that mean that I can connect it directly to a power amp, right? I already have an Ncore power amp and was planning to buy a preamp (Denafrips Hestia or Ladder Bach) and a streamer (Primare NP5 Prisma MK II) separately, but I think if this is good enough I just can get away with this one single box; am I crazy?

  • @Ceko

    Very interesting unit.
    Couple of questions..
    Can you change color of the volume ring? The master edition is kind of orange, is that because it’s the master edition or was that selected somehow?
    Also, I’ve seen a clock/calendar on the screen on another review. Is it possible to get that clock when it’s in stand by mode or does it have to be on?

  • @irisfinchmusic
    @irisfinchmusic 7 месяцев назад +1

    Jay, I notice that there's both a digital out and an analog in. What would you think of using A8's Digital Out (I2S) to my Holo Audio DAC >> then ANALOG IN to the A8's preamp? (so using the A8's Streamer and Preamp - but not the DAC).

    • @WillyLax24
      @WillyLax24 7 месяцев назад

      I don’t think that would work because if your source is the streaming I doubt you could also select the analog input at the same time.

I was now planning to build up the digital portion of my system. Any thoughts on DMP-A6 w/Denafrips Ares 12th versus just the DMP-A8? Both options are roughly comparable in price. Thanks again, Jay!!!

      That's all you need if you're going to connect it to that awesome DAC. If it takes a good optical digital input, all you need is a WIIM mini!

    If i have an external DAC, will i hear a difference between the A6, A6M and A8 by only using the USB out?

    • @eric-johannes
      @eric-johannes 5 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, that's what I want to know too. Some reviewers state that there's no difference between the three models when using the USB out and an external DAC...

    Yes I am interested in DSP explanation. I received my DMP-A8, last week, I installed an m2 ssd , it is a pain to transfer 2tb of music files( not finish). It sounds nice!

    • @alanrichey5745
      @alanrichey5745 7 месяцев назад

      Mine is shipping. Are you able to ‘record’ directly to the m2 sad via a cd player?

    • @jean-michel2489
      @jean-michel2489 7 месяцев назад

      Files transfer are far too slow especially if you do it over wifi… the A8 would have deserved a much more powerfull processor … but it’s the same old ARM cortex A55 quad core as A6 … big mistake for future evolutions.

      this is why you format and add your music files to the Drive before installation! very inexpensive to find an external enclosure with USB-C or thunderbolt.

    i noticed the dmp-a6 has an HDMI out, I like to run an external monitor for album art etc. but looks like the 8 does not? can anyone clarify this?

  • @tonyclifton2172
    @tonyclifton2172 4 месяца назад

    I ordered Dmp-a8, because I need an analog input for my turntable and the better DAC. It will work as a pre-amp for two bridged power amps and a couple of Bowers 703 s3🎉

    Let me know if i am missing something, but an Apple TV running to a TV for a screen and to a dedicated DAC for conversion would be better and in most circumstances cheaper?

    i will buy an Eversolo Streamer as Roon Transporter. Is there a difference between the A6 Master and the A8 in digital use?

  • @BigStreetCinema
    @BigStreetCinema 7 месяцев назад +1

    Love the new A8 with PEQ and so on but why have they not have a Sub out? So if I got a 2.1 or 2.2 system this is not the way to go?

    • @Jayiyagi

      You can use the xlr or rca outputs to connect to a sub

    Hello Jay, love the video's. Wondered if you ever looked at the Denon DNP-2000ne? It is the only the second streamer I have heard and thought it was amazing. I am struggling to see how it compare to the competitors especially the Eversolo DMP-A6 and Master. Would really appreciate your thoughts.

  • @ron101346
    @ron101346 7 месяцев назад

    Can you use the pre-amp section of the DMP-A8 alone to linearize the sound from other components and speakers?

    great video as always, it would be worth noting for software makers when listening via Apple Music the album art and description could be full screen like Tidal.

    @Loko75loko 7 месяцев назад +1

    Help 🙏🏻 there is no Volume Passthrough Mode when using XLR/RCA as an output? Does this mean i cant use the A8 as a streame/dac in this config?

    • @Jayiyagi
      @Jayiyagi  7 месяцев назад +1

      Hi there is a volume pass through. It is in the settings. You can use it as a streamer/dac
      Check out my dmp-a6 review linked in the descriptions for more guidance, I go in more depth about how to connect each ouput and input in different case scenarios

    • @Loko75loko
      @Loko75loko 7 месяцев назад

      Hi Jay. Thanks for the response. Much appreciated 😊🙏🏻
      Maybe eversolo updated the firmware. As unlike the A6, the Volume Passthrough Mode in A8 is no longer in the Audio tab.
      It is now in the individual output connection tab. Its missing in the XLR/RCA output tab but it is available in the USB DAC Output. Oh well…

  • @KillerKojak

    If i connect my AIWA cassette deck I HOPE the EQ work well... ( not in digital mode.. ) and i need an headphone amp.. that why i prefer a dac like RME. because i use my pc to play 80% of my music and Spotify work with pc (RME dont have analog input i think) ..... dont need a streamer really but i really want a good-preamp-and headphone amp for me....but i dont know if the dacs ESS in my receiver Yamaha Aventage sound close if i use it like a "dac-preamp".. and i use it in "direct mode" and i use the EQ of my pc... my BEST result...

  • @oohtob6685
    @oohtob6685 7 месяцев назад

    I get confused. Not difficult.
    Is the pre amp section in the Dmp a8 pointless if you have it going into a integrated amp lets say the hegel h390. Or can it take over the pre amp duties of the integrated amp. Thanks.

  • @ppjvn
    @ppjvn 7 месяцев назад +1

    Does the A8 address the lag of A6, especially when working with Apps like Apple Music. Even when connected to Ethernet port, I had to return my A6 because of the probably poor processor lag. Not that same experience as iPhone if you want to play lossless HiRes.

    • @wegardfjeld3789

      No lag at all with wifi or Ethernet. On my A6 ME

  • @user-fh7cv7vm7j
    @user-fh7cv7vm7j 7 месяцев назад +14

    I am hoping that Eversolo comes out with a dedicated streamer that I can use with my Gustard R26. I’d rather not pay for a built in dac when I already have one that I love. The DMP line is very easy in the eyes!

    • @hodavid4551
      @hodavid4551 7 месяцев назад +3

  • @Infynyte
    @Infynyte 7 месяцев назад

    Nice review as always, thank you!
    I have the DMP-A6 and when I'm using it as a preamp connected from RCA, the gain is very low and you need to set the volume knob at 12 oclock and forward to get some decent volume level.
    In the DMP-A8 this feature have a better gain level from the RCA?
    Regards Jay!

    • @scottmuhlbaier1945
      @scottmuhlbaier1945 7 месяцев назад +1

      I believe they thought of that too. You have a +10 gain control with the A8.

    Hi Jay, If i have an external DAC, will i hear a difference between the A6, A6MasterEdition and the A8 by only using the Coaxial SPIDF or USB out?

    • @balooo2863
      @balooo2863 6 месяцев назад +1

      I’ve been repeatedly asking the same question and the response I keep getting is yes you will hear a different sound signature in streaming only between the A6(s) and the A8.
      The power supply in A8 is designed to lower the noise floor and increase dynamics.Aside from the power supply Eversolo tuned the A8 with a different sound profile( without or without the dac in use).
      The good news is that the latest updates will include EQ for the A6 so that should address many treble issue concerns.

    Hi from France Mister Jay Iyagi
    Thanks for your great reviews that I appreciate
    If you talk to the ears of Eversolo, can you suggest them a DMP A8 Master Edition with a phono input and headphone output to be the best all in one
    Bests regards

  • @JRadian

    • @Jayiyagi

      no there isn't that much of a big difference

    • @BMWliterbikes4life

      It may have been a difference if you output to a cheap DAC which you don’t own lucky you :-)

  • @sanp.4763
    @sanp.4763 7 месяцев назад +1

    I am not convinced that DSP functionality covers the digital output. I would buy it if that was the case. But I believe it is directly connected to internal DAC and hence affects only analog outputs

    • @alaincollin7513
      @alaincollin7513 7 месяцев назад +2

      You are right. From the user manual: *DSP only works with the internal player and digital audio inputs (coaxial/optical/USB-B/ ARC), and it outputs through RCA/XLR analog audio ports.
