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.
With a 388mmL× 265mmW× 98.5mmH wide-body design, DMP-A8 Master Gen 2 delivers a more refined and balanced presence. The larger chassis provides more space for internal architecture, while the extended proportions create a look that is understated yet powerful.
DMP-A8 Master Gen 2 introduces a redesigned UI experience, turning the display into an intuitive control center—not just an information screen.
Each rotation feels smooth and effortless. Smooth damping, precise response. Volume, input, and functions—all in a single turn. Clearly defined micro-scale markings. Simple, intuitive control. Clean and fluid.
Each component plays a dedicated role. AK4191EQ handles digital processing, while AK4499EXEQ focuses on D/A conversion. 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.
Custom CD playback system, optimized for audio applications with quieter and more stable operation. High-precision error correction reduces read errors and interference. Ensuring more complete and accurate playback and ripping.
Supports 10MHz adaptive external clock input. Enables integration with high-precision clock systems, improving timing stability. Resulting in a darker background and more precise imaging.
The DMP-A8 Master Gen 2 features internal electrical isolation architecture. Reducing noise from external devices and digital circuitry. Maintaining a cleaner signal environment. A quieter background with clearer detail, layering, and sound structure.
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.
In quiet passages, the background remains exceptionally clean. In dynamic peaks, full dynamic range is preserved. Vocals are more focused, instruments more clearly layered. In complex arrangements, every detail remains distinctly rendered.
Dedicated SUB output connects easily to a subwoofer for fuller low-frequency performance. Stronger impact. Richer atmosphere. Bringing with a more immersive experience.
Built-in HDMI ARC/eARC for lossless audio return from TVs and projectors. Transform TV audio into a true Hi-Fi home theater experience.
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.
One pair of XLR balanced and RCA single-ended analog inputs. Paired with a high-performance preamplifier circuit, delivering up to +10dB gain. Enables direct integration with analog sources, simplifying system configuration.
Equipped with both XLR balanced and RCA single-ended outputs. Compatible with power amplifiers and active speakers for flexible system matching. Delivers stable and full-bodied audio performance across different setups.
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.
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.
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.
When sound becomes visible, perception changes. VU meters and dynamic spectrum visualizations adapt to different listening moods. Needle movement and spectrum dynamics reflect music in real time. Rhythm, dynamics, and layering become visual feedback. Sound flows as visuals respond, shaping the emotional experience.
The proprietary EOS Audio Engine bypasses Android SRC limitations, creating a direct Bit-Perfect path. Digital audio signals remain free from secondary processing, preserving the original sound.
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.
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.
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.
DSP EQ Adjustment Range: 3.51Hz-20000Hz
Powered by the proprietary EVC Volume Engine, signal integrity is maintained across the entire volume range. Whether listening quietly or turning it up, the sound remains natural, balanced, and true to the original.
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.
Wake the device instantly through the network while maintaining extremely low standby power consumption. Always ready when you are.
The DMP-A8 Master 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.
