I am on your side as I found the biggest reward with PC's in my Dev set-up, now running 2 JPS Kaptovators into the D400, which made a big difference to me (and others). For sure the Dev is responding well to the 'right' PC. Just started moving to our new home in which I will install a dedicated circuit for the system, hoping for some gain in SQ. /Mike RE: Master/slave link - GuillaumeB - 08-Aug-2014 (08-Aug-2014, 00:01)Mikeeo Wrote: Just started moving to our new home in which I will install a dedicated circuit for the system, hoping for some gain in SQ. This is actually one of the most cost effective upgrades you can carry out. I'd also recommend thinking about installing a dedicated consumer unit/distribution board.

As a matter of fact, Devialet proprietary technologies make it rather insensitive which cables are used (be it power supply, speaker, or digital interconnects). We do not believe there will be 'flavour' differences between different digital interconnects between both units, and have not noticed any. I must say I am rather intrigued as to why Devialet have chosen to include a £500+ digital cable with their 400 package. Also with my 500 I received what looked like a (white labeled) Transparent Premium digital cable which retails at £755. If what they are saying is correct then what is the purpose of including expensive digital cables in their packages? Of course one can spend a lot more money on a digital cable but that's not the point. Guillaume RE: Master/slave link - f1eng - 08-Aug-2014 Well Guillaume I would think that the fact that there are loads of owners on fora posting about cables means they may well have to do something impressive looking, even though the engineers at Devialet don't believe/hear it makes a difference themselves. When I updated my D-Premiers and could no longer use the rca-AES cable I had been using I enquired why the update package didn't include a new digital rca-rca cable. Muriel wrote that the update was a good value favour being done but that a Transparent cable is supplied with the 800. I bought a pro Mogami. I imagine the OEM price for the Transparent, without Transparent branding, is near £10.

Correct me if I am wrong - Digital signal is in fact analog. 0 and 1s are transmitted through in wave form inside the cable. Therefore, interference may occur; which with SPDIF and USB without the error detection and resending, quality of cable will matter more.

You are wrong. Very common error but a thing that’s not true, even if is repeated a thousand times, will remain false. Always helpful to remember this. The digital sensing in the receiver happens as the signal passes through zero and since it is a square wave the interference on the top and bottom of the square only has a visual effect on a graph, but no effect on the digital signal captured.

Blimey. Well it looks as though the 800 and the 250 "companions" are shipping with the Crystal cable now, just checked the website. Actually the Mogami Gold digital cable is highly rated in audiophile circles. I wouldn't mind trying it sometime.

Yes, it's surprising… When I told the Devialet team that I have best results with other PC than the regular sold with the Dev's, they answered me that they can't put a hi-end PC as they wanted the customers to be able to choose their own PC… So, I don't understand the logic of Devialet about the digital cable : why not put a regular digital cable ? If it's only for the 'look", I think that we can find more beautiful PC ;-) RE: Master/slave link - Confused - 08-Aug-2014 (08-Aug-2014, 11:47)f1eng Wrote: I bought a pro Mogami.

If customers wish to use an aftermarket last 2 meters it is their prerogative, and enough of them like playing with such things for them to be right from a supplier POV. If a customer finds a preference that is fine, telling them one is better than another or that it doesn't make a difference is not... (08-Aug-2014, 14:19)darthsteph Wrote: Yes, it's surprising… |
