Hi everyone — first post here, so I thought I’d introduce myself and my current setup.
I have just taken the plunge on an Eversolo DMP-A8 Gen 2, which has now become the brains of my two-channel system.
The current setup is:
● 🎵 Eversolo DMP-A8 — streamer/DAC/preamp
● 🔊 KEF Q11 Meta + SVS SB2000 Pro
● ⚡ Rotel RB-1582 MkII — 200W Class AB power amp
● 📺 Samsung The Frame — connected via HDMI eARC
● 🎶 Apple Music/Tidal for streaming, Rega P3 Phono with Schiit Mani phono preamp
● 🏠 A bit of acoustic treatment behind the speakers because apparently buying expensive equipment isn’t enough — you also have to start putting things on the walls 😂

I’m still getting everything dialled in, particularly the A8 settings, EQ/room correction and integration with the Q11 Metas and Rotel, so I’m very interested in hearing how other A8 owners have their systems configured.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here — and probably spending money I didn’t know I needed to spend.

First night with my new Q11’s and I must say, what a beautiful upgrade from my trusty Q700’s. They have a very familiar sound, just much better in every way. They should be out from the wall a bit more but for now I need to balance the WAF.

I’m just running 2ch as the old Velodyne doesn’t do them justice, but have an SVS SB2000 on the way. Other gear is a Rega P3 with a Schiit phono stage, and an Anthem MRX540 AVR as the space doubles as a TV room.

I’m new here so not sure if this has been mentioned, but this is one I use for any audition I have.
