The packed feature list offers great setup flexibility and customization of the sound to suit your taste. The remarkable performance of the preamp section is simply the cherry on top of the cake.”
—StereoNet, Applause Award

“It’s not often a product arrives that redefines its category, but Eversolo’s DMP-A8 streamer does exactly that. Inside its slender aluminum housing, the latest dual-chip AKM DAC solution is married to a high-quality R2R volume control, making it a capable preamplifier, while an array of inputs and outputs – from balanced analogue to USB-B – handle source and amp connection.”
—EISA Award, 2024-2025, Best Streamer

“The sound is open, spacious, and detailed and it doesn’t seem to add, or take away, anything from the music. The DAC section is fantastic with a slightly more natural tonality over the cheaper A6 and, the analogue inputs are a much-welcomed feature for people like me who enjoy a central hub for all sources (including ARC/eARC for TVs).”
