Both directions turn it down, there's no way to raise the volume via eARC at all. This makes eARC volume control completely unusable.

I also noticed that on first connection, the Sony TV briefly shows an "HDMI communication failure" message referencing the...

1. Is it really impossible to light up the ring around the encoder—at least in a single white color?

2. Can the built-in drive really read these formats: DVD and SACD?

Why is there only one hard drive slot in the new DMP-A8 Gen 2 and ME versions? I think I know why. It occurred to me that the second drive controller is used for the CD mechanism, leaving no other slot free. Is that...

Precisely why we should start now, we can have a chance to have the first batch shipped with the most complete firmware as it can be. Even hardware if there’s enough time.

Bugs? That has to be discovered. Features? We have the specs to begin with, so fire away.

1. Multi-channel audio support (existing HDMI ARC port)
2. Headphone amp (hardware)
3. Subwoofer outs (hardware)
4. Room correction i.e. Dirac Live

I have a 500k+ library of FLAC files on my Synology NAS.
I know: that's a huge library, at the very limit of what my Eversolo DMP-A8 can manage.
I spent the past 2 weeks trying to have it scanned.
I finally managed to do it!
So I thought I would share some findings here.

First of all: time.
Get ready to spend a few days/a week or two before managing the task. Be patient. This is a one-off task: you build your library only once. Then you just update it. You'll see that...

I intend to use both Eversolo A8' analog outs for a biamping project.

RCA will be fed into Yamaha a-s1200 Main In and used for powering Wharfedale Jade 7 mids/highs.

XLR will be connected to two class d monoblocks from Audiophonics which then will power the lows of the same boxes.

Since the both mentioned Outs of Eversolo provide different voltage levels, I have to understand if there's a way to level out this difference in the Eversolo because otherwise the bass will be...

I have tried to keep my approach as simple as possible. I have connected a Topping L70 headphone amp to my DMP-A8 via balanced XLR cables. For testing purposes I am using a streaming source and have my input set to internal player and the output set to Bal XLR. The Topping is pretty straight forward as well. Just select XLR as input and the 6.35 headphone jack as output....

If I use the I2S from the A8 to my Gustard R-26 Dac, Will I then need to connect the RCA out from the DAC to the power amp? My Amp only has one input.

Will I have to change the cabling each time I switch between the A8 internal DAC and the external Gustard R26 DAC?
