A complete digital hub with CD playback and serious system control.
The DMP-A8 Master Gen 2 brings streaming, CD playback, DAC conversion, and analog preamplification into one component. Its AK4191EQ and AK4499EXEQ DAC architecture, combined with Eversolo's AuralEngine processing, supports high-resolution PCM and DSD playback while keeping the digital and analog stages carefully separated.
You can build an entire digital system around it. The Master Gen 2 supports services including Apple Music, TIDAL, Qobuz, and Spotify Connect Lossless, while USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, HDMI ARC/eARC, and digital inputs give you plenty of ways to connect your sources. Its built-in CD mechanism can also play and rip discs, while the M.2 NVMe slot provides up to 8TB of local music storage.
You'll also have useful tools for tailoring the system to your room and setup. The fully balanced analog preamp uses R-2R volume control, while evotune PRO room correction and a 20-band parametric EQ let you address room response and fine-tune the presentation. The Master Gen 2 also adds an OCXO clock with PLL technology and a 10MHz external clock input for systems where precise timing is important.
Perfect for listeners who want one sophisticated component to handle their digital library, CDs, streaming, and system control.
