DMP-A8: Feature Requests

I would like to see an FSP port, an additional trigger out, and fewer smug asr types in the forums.

 

Just asking for a friend. What's a "FSP port"? Is this a new feature on audio equipment?

 

Probably he means an SFP port

 

He must have made a typo error in post #41 because he's made mention of a SFP port several times already in this thread.

 

Ufff... do you really need GB for playing music? I mean, really...?

 

Lack of Chromecast - the only point prevents me from bying A8

 

Who wants Chromecast in a Hi-Res streamer?

 

What do you mean?? All who using Google Home appliances. It's strange that Chromecast is not built-in from the start. Are there any plans to add Chromecast with new software versions?

 

Hi-Res streamer

 

What on earth is your problem?

"High-resolution audio: 96 KHz / 24-bit"
https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6279377?

 

Does it do 24/192??
Does it do MQA?

EEEHHHH?

 

So the bankrupt MQA is HiRes but FLAC 24-bit / 96 KHz isn't?
I wonder why I bother to reply

 

My goodness. You do know that everything above 16/44.1 is considered hi-res? Please act like an adult when you post on a forum. Your post looks like it is from a disgruntled toddler.

 

It was confirmed today to me. MQA certification is in the process and will be added to specifications when completed.

 

Oh s**t. We'll never get rid of that. At least @fofocho will be happy with it.

 

Just wondering if there’s going to be a A8 Masters edition?

 

The A8 has already a better DAC and the femtoclocks; I do not see anywhere else audio improvements could be made to justify a MASTER EDITION (and an adequate rise in price to about 3K).

 

• A golden volume knob and other gold details.
• A 12 inch OLED touch screen.
• An R2R DAC with handpicked matching resistors.
• Internal silver cabling.
• A linear PSU with ginormous torodial transformers (preferably 3).
• Full metal jacket remote control (with golden details).
• A lifetime free Roon subscription.
• $300 per piece rubber shock-absorbing feet.
• No, just kidding.

 

it can be, it will be extended to a size of 43 cm, it will have a high-quality built-in headphone amplifier and an adjustable headphone output in the front, 7.1 analog outputs and Hdmi multichannel out like the A6 had. preparation for 2x SSD M2 4Gb. There would definitely be more that could be put into the A8 ME.
