With well-judged remasters dating from 2005, the Greatest Hits album from Pat Benatar [Capital 7243578858-2-9] is a great retrospective of the 1980s pop star, and the DMP-A10 grabbed my attention when playing the classic ‘Love Is A Battlefield’. The drums were spread out broadly across the soundstage, behind a superb delivery of Benatar’s vocals, including the high notes during the chorus. This is a song that, on the right system, has a distinctly ‘spatial’ feel to it, information the DMP-A10 communicated with ease.

Eversolo’s interface made adding and integrating a subwoofer – in this case an ELAC Sub 2050 – stress-free, although time must of course be taken to ensure levels and phase are in order. Considering the size of the DALI speakers, this was a good move to make Between The Buttons, from techno-outfit French 79 [Olympic; Alter K digital download; 192kHz/24-bit], a more engaging listen. With deep, pounding bass underpinning the drum track and a flighty synthesiser crisply placed above it all by the DMP-A10, it was a lot of fun too.
