Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly...

Evaluating as a standalone streaming player.

8 hours run time. So far sounds dull and lifeless.

  • Streaming Qobuz only
  • DH Labs ethernet
  • Zavfino Fina power cable
  • Zavfino Fusion XLR interconnects

DMP 8 settings

  • DSD audio: native (default was DSD over PCM - sounds the same)
  • Volume: max
  • DAC filter: short delay slow roll-off (default)

Any ideas from other DMP 8 owners?

Means nothing, zero....  if a product measures great and has weak support how good is it really?

Well it is not inexpensive so one would hope for good overall performance for many years.

It’s always interesting when a product measures well indicating quality design and execution but then someone finds the sound inferior. What to make of that? Who is right? The numbers or the person? Or both. Numbers are not subjective. Opinions are. You can argue either doesn’t matter but not both. It’s a dilemma of sorts with no answer that has all the cards.

Also I read  the thing has dsp built in which is a fabulous feature.  Have you tried to use it to tweak the sound?
