D-Premier is using another board than D200? I believe not, since only the power handling changes

When I commented to my dealer that the Od'A sounded dry, he recommended that I lower the output to 600W. Is amplifier power that important?

It most certainly is a different board. I've upgraded mine to 250.
And it's a lot more than just "power handling changes". http://en.devialet.com/upgrade-d-premier-en/

Was that ANote that said that? As I understand it, lowering the power allows more of the Class A character to come through. Some users with horns/high efficiency speakers dial the D200 down to 30W.
Also, I am assuming that your Od'A is fully run in. Guillaume has reported an appreciable difference in sound between the demo unit and new units.
At AVI, I have heard significant differences between 2 D200 units. The newish one was thin, dry and quite unlistenable. The run-in unit (by a couple of months) was far better. Both were driving Raidho D2 speakers.

Yup, its a snake pit here
RE: New product launch? - Seanster - 04-May-2016
Thanks for the warm welcome. Not a proud owner yet, but plan to be as soon as they announce whatever it is they're going to announce....:-). Hence my interest in this particular thread....
RE: New product launch? - f1eng - 04-May-2016
I have a config for my 109dB/watt Animas with 200 rather than 900 watts but only to get a better volume control range. I haven't tried 30 watts.
I am mainly listening to my Epilogs with 900 watts at the moment though.
The way ADH works makes the idea of "more of the class-A comes through" at 30 watts an absurd theory though.
I may try 30 W one day but with good classical recordings with wide dynamic range I get quite high on the volume control with 200, compressed pop much lower, of course.

Good advice, speculation and hope are a road to disappointment!
Lets see what we get and rejoice then (or not...)
