Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp

I haven’t had any problems with my A8 and I recently updated the software without any trouble. The latest update added support for Apple Music & Podcasts. I’m using an older CJ PV-12 for a preamp, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what the A8 has inside. Rose Hi-Fi is twice the price and I haven’t heard it. As far as software goes the A8 is very good. A8 is an excellent product and very versatile.

If you have a balanced input to the integrated amp use that, otherwise take the RCA output from A8 into anything, but phono on your integrated.

Also, if you have a USB CD player (I’m using an Apple drive) you can hook that up to your A8 and copy “rip” your CD collection to your A8. Use .flac when you’re ripping.

I have 1 ballenced input and i want to use the Yamaha AS2200 preamp. How do you bypass the eversolo dmp-a8 preamp do you go into the volume settings? I haven't bought anything yet thinking Danafrips ares 12th and Bluesound node icon

The only way to by pass the A8 pre-amp is to use one of the digital outputs. Use the USB or the IIS because they are higher quality.

If you want to use your t.v. with A8 or another DAC use the ARC connection from your t.v. to the DAC or A8.

I thought you can set the eversolo dmp-a8 volume to fixed or something like that not sure what it's called in eversolo?

My Yamaha is a Integrated Amplifier.
