I upgraded from the already amazing DMP-A6 G2 Master Edition, which I also purchased from HomeCineSolutions and had no problems whatsoever. The A8 is noticeably bigger than the A6 and uses AKM Velvet DAC chips as opposed to the A6 ESS DAC. It also has XLR in and out ports, which was the main reason for the upgrade. The sound, in my opinion is much to my liking than the A6 and can also be used as a Pre Amplifier (R2R volume control). A great product from Eversolo, arrived really quick and well packaged as always by HomeCineSolutions, thank you! ☺️
