Eversolo DMP-10, new release 25 october
- Thread starter Cofra
- Start date
As far as I see we have 2 (or 3) features more than A8 (ignoring the questionable double linear PS as well as the SPF plug):
- double (SE) subwoofer output
- ADC, so analog signal *might* be processed via DSP/PEQ for room correction, volume control and/or LP/HP:
- (not quiet clear: LP/HP for sub/main output)
The anounced price tag is the same as with my A6/RME ADI 2/4 combi, that provides an additional HP-output and some extra goodies like MM cartridge input.

Indeed, consistent with high quality of course....
There is also room correction which I Don't see on the other models. They have PEQ and GEQ but this appears to be something like ARC or maybe what Apple and Sonos do?
- Advanced Room Correction: EverSolo Room Correction - No matter how complex your room acoustics, EverSolo’s advanced room correction system automatically adapts the sound, compensating for unwanted reflections and resonances. So you can enjoy a flawless audio experience in any space, from the largest living room to the smallest studio.

The A8 also allows importing FIR filters imported from REW.....I'm hoping the new room correction is more of a Trinnov/Lyngdorf type of approach.
That's what it reads like, room correction you run not just filter import.

If so, that’s worth a lot of the increased price.
Only if it works (very) well.
I haven’t been impressed with any ‘total’ room correction software whereas REW and a few filters…

Since A10 doesn’t have HDMI out, I guess no chance that it supports Atmos bitstream?

I guess I'm a sucker then. I would have considered this since they added sub outs if it was reasonably priced for what it does. The "better clocks" part is BS. They already had a great product with the regular A6.

Which WiiM, looking for a streamer/ transport. If you were buying a WiiM which one would you buy.
Thanks

I think the writing should have been on the wall the moment we saw the superficial 'cooling fins'. I can't see much of their existing customer base being interested at this price. For me this probably means a Node Icon - which looks better featured (and cheaper) than the A8.
Should have known the NAD shill would turn up here!
No, it is not a safe and acceptable means of HT Bypass using the preset feature, not by a long shot. The user Nocko has explained this to you on several occasions in the M66 thread, if the input is changed then the volume remains at home theatre preset level, i.e max! - every time you change away from the HT preset you do not want to have the device left at literally speaker blowing levels.
Tbh it sounds like an easy firmware job really, assign a default volume to each input..... hopefully they will do this, but until then it's not a safe (and more pertinently idiot proof) method.
FWIW I have to perform a similar enough function now with my gear. I use a Schiit Freya S as my preamp and therefore to get a HT Bypass of sorts, I switch it passive mode and wind the volume to max. So I am used to being methodical with engaging in and out of a pseduo HT Bypass mode and checking volumes before playing content on other inputs - but at least with the Freya things are of a more physical and deliberate nature, and critically there's no risk of switching an input via an app.
I would not be so obtuse either as to say it has a safe and effective means of HT Bypass, merely a tolerable workaround for basic situations. And most certainly not one that would suit say a family situation where anyone can grab a remote and be free to flip between music and movies etc with out risk.
Anyway, to the A10....
Why would the dual sub outs be for suckers?
It appears the A10 will provide the facility to delay mains and subs, and provide full DSP (crossover control and PEQ), then that's literally everything you really need to get an excellent level of sub integration (assuming sufficient knowledge with say REW). Certainly better than your typical preamp that expects you to use a full range preout to a sub(s), and no means to delay the mains.
It seems like it will also have it's own correction system as well, although for my own use I would have been ok with a lower price and no automatic system. Unless it proves to be as good as say DLBC, in which case it might help justify towards the cost of the unit.
Dual subs can be Eq’d and EQ also on the analogue input, which is useful.
