Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly...


Evaluating as a standalone streaming player.

8 hours run time. So far sounds dull and lifeless.

  • Streaming Qobuz only
  • DH Labs ethernet
  • Zavfino Fina power cable
  • Zavfino Fusion XLR interconnects

DMP 8 settings

  • DSD audio: native (default was DSD over PCM - sounds the same)
  • Volume: max
  • DAC filter: short delay slow roll-off (default)

Any ideas from other DMP 8 owners?

Macg19 make sure all processing is turned off in the A8. And put few more hours on it. Too early to throw in a towel. 

It means…If there’s any upsampling, attenuation, room corrections, etc. not sure what it has if any as far as DSP goes. Disable it. 

I returned my A8 and got a Weiss DAC to run with my Bluesound Vault streaming Tidal And Qobuz.  Much better now.
