Do you have any more details on the DSP functions on the new DMP-A8 @mirror88?

 

[supermood]

someone knows to place for artists pictures cannot find it. many are missing want to add manually. same with album cover but the have to be in the album folder named folder.jpg correct?

thanks!!

there are so many things not implemented and many more not logical I'm feeling like a beta tester. sorry but is this a joke? should all user write endless lists somewhere to develop that device?

sound is great for me. listening to Ella and Luis via qobuz high res is just really good! but I'm surely not the audiophile expert . +2

device good built would say. but without oled it's just ugly to look at the screen. black is bright grey even with brightness setting to nearly zero. not used to that anymore. Will turn it off I guess 4+

Software, after only 6 hours found about 30 bugs and 50 unlogical things ending up with a freeze while playing music 5-

A few examples of things not implemented and bugs?

A few examples of things not implemented and bugs?

hi I've started some bullets earlier. I didn't had the impression that someone was interested. maybe wrong place here anyway? is there a direct eversolo page to report things?

here some from today only, cannot remember what I was writing yesterday

. Playlist (just the album I've started) was gone and pressing skip / next track was not working I was stuck in 2 tracks no idea why. had to reboot

. player on Android (by the way no notification makes things complicated) shows different song then the playing one and is not updating

. In qobuz I cannot press artist or album to find more or read about the artist. no link is working I have to use text search to find another album or the artist... in the player no link is working same with local music

. cannot find artist pictures folder to update manualy. same with album. thought I had it yesterday but cannot find.

. Basically the whole menu looks like a beta some settings are only via cast some not. I cannot do anything with the file browser I have to cast to copy albums. and endless more examples. some settings are just hidden like these settings via cast player libray index and then cogwheel.

. no information about any online tagging and info the device is searching or not (I think it's no doing anything). at least cannot see any difference between local picture prio and not. 30% still missing with perfectly named and tagged music

. yesterday device was complete frozen while paying.

. opening the app brings me a commercial for some sec or whatever that is and I have to skip or wait??

. closing vast view a ugly windows 3.1 pop up in the middle of the scree no thumb area comes up asking me if I'm sure haha HELLO!!

in general.
usually I don't have time for writing all that and it shouldn't be expected from customers.
that device should make things easier. or roll it out with 30% discount one year for the people who want to participate in forums and beta version updates.

I do not know any other network player and maybe it's the same there. I have some ruark devices with undok software and even that is not perfect for years. but here the software and usability is a key success factor? if you don't need that you buy a dac for 1000 eur I guess

edit
. Album year should be displayed!! have even my folder named with it

. some text is just not readable because it doesn't scroll and is to long. that's confusing if the folder starts all same like ella fitzgerald sings...... and then 15 album

What on earth are you talking about?
Can you post screenshots of what you are seeing?

These are normal - they are not commercials/ads.

I didn't say that's a add but it's exactly that behavior. I can skip what. the hell for what is it then

you define what's normal..? I would say that's def not normal

 

[Purité Audio]

The Eversolo app does cater for multiple Eversolo devices, it sees my Z-8 and the DMP.

[kacos]

you define what's normal..?

No I don't
But if it wasn't normal, don't you think that the countless other people who purchased these units would complain as well?

 

[yllanos]

yeah maybe but cannot be so much license I think it's more the implementation effort. I'm not a pro here. Just wondering for the hdmi audio out and as written it's audio and the device supports multi channel...

anyway I have an new denon x4800h but not clue how to stream atmos. maybe heos app and tidal

Offotpic but, if you want to stream Atmos, just get an Apple TV 4K. Connect it to AVR then use Apple Music on Apple TV 4K. This is how you stream multichannel audio.

You could also do the same if you install Tidal on a Smart Tv that supports eARC.

 

[supermood]

No I don't

im not sure anyone is complaining about anything I've only read 5 trillion best ever device posts in the last 7 days since I broke my leg.

I have many apps that are for more than 1 device and not one let's me wait every time I open. to be honest I didn't think about that at all. make an add device and switch device menu option inside and all good.

anyway. that's the smallest issue.. still, I like the sound and that it has so many possibilities. and usually I'm not so negative. but if someone wants to tell me that device has finished the development and all is good I would say good night over and out

off topic is good. sorry I have no clue how I ended up here and it's my first forum. the title was promising about new software (maybe atmos stream I guess..

thanks!!

I'm surprised someone is still asking this in 2023.

There are two ways to do that:

1. By embedding the image itself into file tags
2. By putting the image file in same album folder and name it as "cover.jpg" (try to make it consistent with a lowercase filename)

Pick your poison

maybe I'm just not as smart as you are. but with you're answer and my 3 studies I doubt that

I'm basically talking about artist pictures. didn't know that I have to tag then all related albums with the same artist Pic?
by the way.

1. I was trying to update tags via mp3tag and media monkey via windows with a mapped folder I've added. both are crashing telling me I need at least 8 MB free space on that m2 ssd (which has 950 gig free space)

2.yes for albums.
besides that I've done it, updated the lib and still no Pic, how about my question with artists.
I saw a folder with pics by eversolo cannot find it anymore. maybe there

In regards to the Atmos comments, regarding music from streaming services on streamers-

• as far as I know Atmos/spatial from Apple Music is only active on the Apple TV 4K, in terms of stuff you'd connect to a surround speaker system
• Amazon Music was exclusive to Sonos devices, if you wanted to connect to a proper system
• Tidal Atmos was only supported on the Apple TV 4K, Fire TV devices, and Nvidia Shield TV

The providers limit support to those devices, and only those devices. Sure, it'd be nice to add that capability here but I just don't see them playing ball with any of the smaller players in the market like Eversolo/Zidoo. This is why I picked up a Shield even though I was happy with my old Roku.
Side note, I check out a few songs on Tidal in Atmos about once a year and so far it's been just wretched overall. I'll go, "well that was a waste of time and money" and then as time passes wonder if things have gotten better...no luck yet.
In regards to buying/owning your own Atmos files, it's a tiny tiny niche compared to the number of titles they're churning out for streaming. Between "Pure Audio Blu-Ray" and downloads it's minuscule, but I'd wager that like DVD-A and SACD the discs are mastered with much more care. On my shortlist to check out is the Blu of "Lux", from 2L. A song I heard in stereo from a streaming service sounded absolutely stunning at Axpona, and I wonder how much more a full Atmos mix might bring.

 

[Deckard71]

Amazon Atmos is not exclusive of Sonos. Fire TV supports it, and any smart TV like Sony and LG (which also support Tidal Atmos)

Hello,
if anyone had the answer, I would like to know before purchasing this dac, if it is possible to use the XLR and RCA outputs at the same time?
I use a nuForce STA9 amp as my amplifier, and I also have a Jamo subwoofer. For the moment for my PC Desktop use, I use a Dac Topping DX7s connected via RCA to the power amp and via XLR to the subwoofer (the opposite would have been better but I did not have the right lengths of cables during installation, and I think that Atlas RCAs are anyway better than oem XLRs at 8eur...). Previously I used a TEAC NT503 which did not allow me to have both outputs at the same time. It's only that point that could prevent this acquisition (and the lack of headphone amplification, it's a shame...)
Thanks in advance !
