RE: Moving from 220pro to 440pro (dual mono) - chrisc - 25-Feb-2024 No, a copper cable, since it needs to conduct the 12 volt signal There is no audible improvement using a trigger cable. I only used it since the dealer supplied a cable and told me to use it this way. He has been a Devialet agent for many years, so I just applied his instruction The "improvement" I mentioned was moving from a 220PRO to a 440PRO. But we know this, it is well documented RE: Moving from 220pro to 440pro (dual mono) - zambie - 07-Mar-2024 So!! Finally got my hands on a second 220pro last night ... came home and set it up as a dual mono 440pro with my existing 220pro using the coax to xlr connection path between master & slave (i'll try to coax to coax digital between master & slave later today). Ended up being awake till 1am and definitely easy to make some initial impressions 1. overall retains the same sonic signature ... devialet sound for sure 2 definitely hearing more nuances and micro details in many recordings - there are things that previously i was either unaware of or muddled in the mix that just have their own little space to breathe now is the best way i can describe it. Additionally, decay of cymbals is definitely more prolonged and textured 3. Better definition of each instrument even in complex passages 4. Presentation is a little more laid back than forward esp with the vocals despite the additional texture in voice 5. Music feels a bit more effortless 6. Not noticed any major change in soundstage width/ height. But do feel more depth 7. Not every track has the same "jump"... but in tracks that have more layered elements, it's definitely palpable Damn - decisions. I'll have the loaner for another 3-4 days.. need to make my mind up.

Same thing happened to me. Good luck with that decision.

The person I got the loaner from is super kind and willing to allow me to have it for another week, but I think I'll have a very unproductive week (for every other element of my life outside of listening to music) if I end up keeping it!! ... ugh.(07-Mar-2024, 18:10)zambie Wrote: So!! RE: Moving from 220pro to 440pro (dual mono) - GudrunHelga - 11-Apr-2024 Yes, ensuring both 220pro units have the same firmware is crucial. Connecting them through coax on the digital 1 port is the right approach for daisy-chaining. Make sure to double-check power requirements and consider any potential signal degradation with longer cable runs. Testing thoroughly before committing to any permanent setup is wise. Good luck with your audition! |
