Eversolo DMP-A8

I've been pondering the DMP-A8; looks like a fun piece of kit, and I was curious about it's in/out configurability.

 

If anyone has the A8 or can answer this question I'd be grateful 😊.

 

Could you, for example, run one of it's digital outs, say I2S, to an external DAC, and run the XLR outs of the DAC back in to the A8's XLR in's. 

 

My thoughts are to then take the RCA outs of the A8, using it's pre-amp section running to my integrated, but bypassing it's pre-amp and just using the power amp section? (my integrated allows this).

 

Would this be doable within the A8's in/out configuration software?

 

Thanks guys

A smart move.    It’s too bad because the A6 isn’t a bad box but they try to come off as the new , better streamer company.   There’s  a reason they are $899.   
 

I feel for anyone spending $3700 on their A10 , they are getting the exact same level of support as their entry to streaming  which still has issues.   If I spent almost $4k and was told to roll back FW when there is a bug I’d be pissed.

Spend $2000 on Innuos or used Aurender  , Eversolo support is non existent...   one year warranty and it's a boat anchor if something happens outside that period.  

DSP functionality limits bit rate to 24/48.   These units are way over hyped.  Wait until you need support, you won't be praising the box so much.
