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

Loving my A8 as well! I find the internal DAC to be very satisfying if not quite the best thing ever. I had a $4.5k Wyred 4 Sound 10th Anniversary DAC in that system and I did notice the difference in character, but it wasn't drastic. Sold the Wyred and am happy with the internal Eversolo DAC for now, will eventually add another dedicated DAC to the system. The A8 DAC is so good that I'm not in a rush though.
