Cool, thank you for sharing the pictures. 

What electronics where they playing through? I guess it might have been Boenickes upcoming amplifier?

Hi, in the demo played the integrated amplifier E2! Issued were still the power amplifier P3 and NosDac C2!

So, I’m trying to find a good deal on a used 140 Pro CI or even a 220 Pro CI. Any suggestions on sellers with good reputation and good deals?

If you are in Canada or the U.S. you can get a new 220 Pro CI from Noteworthy Audio (contact Nick) in Canada.  I live in the U.S. and recently purchased one.  Here's a link.  He's selling a new 220 Pro CI for CAD7995 or just under USD6K, including shipping and insurance.  And, if you wire Nick the money, he'll give you an additional discount.

Thanks @Flashman . Sorry i should have stated where I live. I live in Europe (Sweden) so that offer is probably off the table for me.

 Ah @Soundside too bad.  It's a nice price.  Good luck!

So I just bought the 220 Pro CI and first impressions is that it sounds terrific right out of the box. Very pleased so far.

Now I just need to find some suitable speaker cables and maybe I'll try the Audioquest Z3 power cable that is praised in other threads here on the forum.

One question though, when using AirPlay the output/volume seems very low. Have you experienced that and is it a way to tackle that?

Congrats on your purchase!

I believe with Airplay the volume is controlled by the playback device so if you haven’t done already check the volume of the app you’re using.

Yes, it’s possible to control the volyme from the iPhone/Apple Watch as well as from the Devialet remote. When changing volume with the iPhone the Devialet volume changes accordingly. It seems like the base level of the ”input” is a bit low and i have to got to 80-90% volume on the iPhone to get a decent listening level.. Is there a way to boost certain i puts individually (if the AirPlay options counts as an input)?

Since it’s a digital input I don’t think it’s possible to apply some type of boost (or like with analog an input sensitivity). Not sure if you’ve also noticed that max volume on an airplay source/device corresponds to -12 on the Devialet. I noticed the remote allows you to up it further.

Ah ok, so the Devialet will basically go beyond the AirPlay/iPhone volume. That might be a good thing since people only playing through their phone on the system won't be able to crank it too loud Smile
