Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly...

@1happyman @dandion

UPDATE: I kept at it and tried a few CD quality tracks as I had up to this point only streamed Qobuz Hi Res.

CD quality on the A8 sounds very good side by side.

So I went back to Hi Res and sure enough, lower gain and less sparkle from the A8.

Turned off Replay gain and MUCH MUCH better!!!

Next will try the A8 with my DAC.

Dump it while you can. Move on. 

Macg19 make sure all processing is turned off in the A8. And put few more hours on it. Too early to throw in a towel. 

make sure all processing is turned off in the A8?

what does this mean ?

It means…If there’s any upsampling, attenuation, room corrections, etc. not sure what it has if any as far as DSP goes. Disable it.
