Exceptional design. Effortless elegance

Aerospace-grade aluminum chassis, solid yet refined. Simple and understated, with a premium feel. The metal chassis provides natural shielding that reduces external interference—for a quieter background and maximum clarity. More than just a chassis, it becomes part of the listening experience, uniting form and sound.

A refined form

With wideband dimensions of 388 mm (L) × 265 mm (W) × 98.5 mm (H), the DMP-A8 Master Gen 2 delivers an even more balanced presence. The larger chassis provides more room for the internal architecture, while the expanded proportions create a subtle yet powerful aesthetic.

Wider field of view, smoother control

The DMP-A8 Master Gen 2 introduces a redesigned user interface, transforming the display into an intuitive control center rather than merely an information display.

Precision with every turn

Every turn feels smooth and effortless. Gentle damping, precise feedback. Volume, input selection, and functions—all with a single turn. Clearly defined microscale markings. Simple, intuitive, and fluid operation.

Performance-critical hardware

Flagship DAC architecture

Each component performs a dedicated task: The AK4191EQ handles digital signal processing, while the AK4499EXEQ is responsible for D/A conversion. This guarantees 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, supported by a quieter background and more precise channel separation. Combined with AKM's Velvet Sound™ technology, vocals, instruments, and spatial imaging feel more natural and engaging.

Stable drive. Natural sound.

Fully balanced preamplifier architecture with analog XLR and RCA inputs. Delivers stable drive and precise control at any volume. Preserves natural dynamics and clear sound definition.

R-2R volume control

High-performance octa-core processor

Smooth Operation, Total Control

Precise Reading, Controlled Accuracy

Custom-designed CD playback system optimized for audio applications with quieter, more stable operation. Highly precise error correction reduces read errors and interference—for more accurate playback and more precise ripping.

Precision Clock Input

Supports an adaptive external 10 MHz clock input. Enables integration with high-precision clock systems to improve time-domain stability. The result: a blacker background and more precise spatial imaging.

Electrical Isolation

Eversolo AuralEngine

THD+N: 0,000075 %

SNR & DNR: 129 dB

Beyond the Specifications. Better Sound.

During quiet passages, the background remains exceptionally clean. At dynamic peaks, the full dynamic range is preserved. Vocals sound more focused, and instruments are clearly layered. Even in complex arrangements, every detail remains precisely defined.

Comprehensive Connectivity

Cross-System Compatibility

Modes 1 to 8 (IIS configurations)

IIS Output with Multi-Mode Support

8 configurable IIS output modes for seamless DAC compatibility. Fewer compatibility issues, no repeated setup. More time for music. Once connected, the sound unfolds all by itself.

Deep Bass Extension

A dedicated SUB output enables easy connection of a subwoofer for deeper bass reproduction. More punch, richer atmosphere, and a more immersive overall experience.

The Heart of Your Home Audio System

Integrated HDMI ARC/eARC for lossless audio return-channel transmission from TVs and projectors. Turns your TV sound into a true hi-fi home theater experience.

Pure SFP Transmission

Dedicated optical SFP network port for pure optical signal transmission. The ultimate “interference-free” streaming solution for users with the highest demands for network purity. Clean data flow for an even more natural sound.

Using a pair of single-mode 1310 nm SFP modules from the same brand and of the same type is recommended, such as:

StarTech SFPGLCLHSMST | 10Gtek ASF13-24-10 | TP-Link TL-SM311LSA-2KM | TP-Link TL-SM312LS-40KM

*SFP modules must be purchased separately. Supported modules include Gigabit single-mode single-fiber, Gigabit single-mode dual-fiber, and SFP network communication modules.

*The SFP modules must be compatible with the SFP switch in use; SFP+ is not supported.

Wireless, done right

Equipped with the Qualcomm QCC3095 flagship Bluetooth receiver module. Bluetooth 5.4 provides a stable and efficient wireless connection. Quickly pairs with smartphones, tablets, and computers for everyday wireless use with consistently audiophile-grade sound.

Wi-Fi 6 engine

Upgraded to Wi-Fi 6: Dual-band 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz improves interference resistance and data throughput. Ensures a stable connection even in complex network environments.

Flexible local music library expansion

The M.2 NVMe SSD slot on the underside enables easy expansion without removing the chassis. Supports up to 1× 8 TB of capacity, providing ample space for your music library. NVMe high-speed read/write performance with silent operation; also supports external USB-OTG expansion.

*SSD not included.
