"The A8 has no Trigger so how do you turn on the DAC and amp? Another reason for not wanting the A8, particularly as I need the preamp to activate my amps and my hybrid speakers!"
The trigger output from my DMP-A8 turns my power Amp On/Off. Can be done from the A8 front panel or the On/Off button on the A8 Remote Control.
"but the specs are such that I'd never consider the A8, but would seriously consider the A10"
Which specs in particular? I haven't read up on the A10 but that one is twice the price of the A8.

had to buy a longer cord when we remodeled the family room with the cabling going through the wall chase.

Eversolo needs to work on their Chinese ("trriger") spelling. ;)

Sorry, Abe. I looked at both the A8 and A10 but missed the trigger on the A8. As it happens, I'm somewhat annoyed I bought the Alma-Sphere Class D monos before checking that they don't have triggers. I still use triggers for the amps in my hybrid speakers.

Do you use the Eversolo control app and if so, how comprehensive and intuitive is it? Also is it available for Windows and iPad, or just Android?

Thanks

  I've used the Eversolo control App on my iPad and iPhone. It is available for Android but I'm not sure about Windows as it is a mobile App and I think Microsoft gave up on mobile when their Windows phones were a flop.
  The control App allows you to pretty much do what you can do from the Eversolo front panel touchscreen but on your phone/tablet. This is nice but in most cases you're not messing with the touch screen except during setup. You would typically use the App that is Applicable (ha!) to your streaming service. Since the Eversolo is Roon Ready, I use the Roon Remote App on my iPad.
  They additionally provide a handheld remote for basic functions like On, Off, skip, pause, stop, start, volume up/down/mute, and some functions to choose different display settings on the Eversolo screen. These might include album art, VU meter styles, audio bar chart styles, etc.
  Unfortunately many audiophile brands don't include a 12v trigger. It's not a deal breaker for me but a convenience feature that I use when available.
