Eversolo DAC-Z8 is a compact audio decoder with excellent workmanship and high performance.
With the third integration of XMOS 316 and ESS flagship ES9038 Pro DAC chip, the decoding formats support up to DSD512, PCM 768kHz@32bit and MQA full decoding.
It has outstanding sound quality, good preamplifier performance and strong headphone driving force. Rich inputs make the device a good companion for headphones and high-end stereo speakers.
ESS flagship ES9038Pro DAC is known as the industry benchmark, with relatively lower total harmonic distortion level, extremely low noise and distortion. Let's enjoy the authentic HiFi music experience.
Benefiting from the rich experience of development engineers in analog circuit design, DAC-Z8 has professional calibration and circuit design.
The total harmonic distortion ratio has been measured to be -124dB, the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range are 133dB. These industry-leading indicators are a solid foundation for good sound quality.
The third generation XMOS 316 has faster processing speed and better USB bandwidth, ensuring lossless transmission for high-definition audio data.
The USB output supports DSD512 Native, PCM768@32bit and MQA full decoding. The optical and coaxial output supports DSD64 and PCM192@24bit.
The DAC-Z8 includes MQA technology, allowing you to play MQA audio files and streams, delivering the sound of the original master recording.
Two low-jitter clock oscillators are built into DAC-Z8, which correspond to 44.1kHz and 48kHz multi-sampling management. Audio decoding is more accurate.
The DAC-Z8 I/V circuit is composed of 8 pieces of OPA1612. Multi-channel signal shunt compensation technology is adopted, 8 OPA1612 correspond to 8-channel output for I/V signal conversion, then output to 2 channels in parallel.
In addition to high-precision resistors, it helps to amplify the XLR, RCA and headphone output signal losslessly, improving channel separation, dynamic range and sound integrity.
The analog audio circuit is fully balanced in design. XLR, RCA and headphone output all processed by a balanced differential amplifier circuit. Noise has been eliminated by solving shared loop crosstalk and improving channel separation. The high-fidelity preamplifier circuit supports refined volume adjustment, without the need to connect with an additional preamplifier.
To reduce the possible signal interference from RCA and XLR simultaneous output, Z8 RCA and XLR are output separately to achieve higher audio indicator and better audio performance. Of course, RCA and XLR can be output at the same time by manual setting.
The DAC-Z8 Bluetooth audio receiver adopts Qualcomm QCC5125 module. It is Bluetooth 5.0 and supports SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD, LDAC Bluetooth audio protocol. Enjoy your CD-quality music conveniently by connecting mobile phone, tablet and PC.
Different digital filter modes in DAC settings to meet different demands, there are 7 PCM filters and 4 DSD filters for you to choose.
The Zidoo Eversolo DAC-Z8 has numerous ports for digital audio input, including coaxial, optical and asynchronous USB DAC, Type-C for computers and mobile devices. The aptX HD Bluetooth audio input can be used to connect with computers, streamers, CD players and mobile devices, etc.
The low-noise regulated power supply module and dedicated audio filter capacitor are designed for the DAC-Z8. It powers the audio circuit and ensures clearer sound, with low ripple and less interference.
The professional headphone driver circuit in DAC-Z8 has excellent audio indicators and strong driving force, which means that DAC-Z8 can be used as a high-performance headphone amplifier and drive 16-300 ohm HiFi headphones, with high and low gain output options.
The DAC-Z8 can be easily controlled by mobile phone using the EVERSOLO Controller app. Almost all settings can be made in the app via Bluetooth technology.
The DAC-Z8's 3-inch LCD screen displays the colorful user interface for menu settings, audio source selection, VU meter, and audio information. The user interface is cool and easy to use, with some custom preference settings.
The knob on the front panel is multifunctional, not only can be used to adjust the volume but also for menu selection, such as input source switching, output selection, filter modes, UV meters, system language setting and firmware upgrade, etc.
The ambient light beautification seems scientific and technological. It works as a complement to being able to continue controlling the device without the remote control.
The Eversolo DAC-Z8 is made of aviation aluminum, processed by CNC workmanship, and comes with a stable body structure. It is a combination of exquisite appearance design and modern elements.
