It has very impressive room correction and a digital crossover. I owned a Tact Millennium, which was made by Lyngdorf, and it sounded very good. In my view the Tact/Lyngdorf thing never delivered. I tried the original Millennium and liked it a lot. I own the RCS 2.0 (but don't use it anymore). I then tried the Lyngdorf TDAI 2200. Quite nice, but it should have been much better compared to the Millennium considering the 10 years or so difference between the designs. The digital crossover in the 2200 was very good, but 'Room Perfect' is just nonsense in my view. It hardly corrects anything and you can't adjust how it corrects your system. The only positive thing is the fact that Room Perfect is performed in the amplifier. I use Audiolense for room correction. This is proper RC. Together with Acourate and even Dirac you get real correction. Dirac uses very short filters so does not correct bass as good as Audiolense and Acourate with long filters (65k of 132k) Sorry for the OT comment...

RE: Devialet's competitors - Rufus McDufus - 20-Feb-2015 I really like the aluminium fronts and build quality of the Rowlands amps. I did try a Continuum S2 last year though and it didn't really do it for me unfortunately. RE: Devialet's competitors - jjo - 24-Feb-2015 I was actually considering Wadia, but before I had the chance to audition it, I saw a picture of the insides: RE: Devialet's competitors - mirekti - 19-May-2015 Has anyone had any experience with this amplifier/brand? http://www.peachtreeaudio.com/grand-integrated.html RE: Devialet's competitors - absolutk - 19-May-2015 (19-May-2015, 01:55)mirekti Wrote: Has anyone had any experience with this amplifier/brand? http://www.peachtreeaudio.com/grand-integrated.html I owned the Peachtree Grand Integrated (the X1, with the updated USB input). In short, no - forget about it. In depth - Yes, it has a tube stage, an amazing volume control and plenty of inputs and outputs. But it doesn't have a phono stage, and its B&O ICEPower module leaves a lot to be desired from the audio quality compared to the D200. I specifically say "compared to" because by itself, it's quite amazing. But if you are comparing it to the Devialet, then it remains back in the dust. RE: Devialet's competitors - Mikeeo - 19-May-2015 Hi, Have a look at this: http://www.aavik-acoustics.com It def challenges Devialet for SQ and all-in-all solution. No 'SAM' though but who knows when a function like this will be added. Price is in the D800 area so not for all pockets. I will run a comparison at my dealer at some time soon. /Mike RE: Devialet's competitors - NickB - 19-May-2015 (19-May-2015, 07:27)Mikeeo Wrote: Hi, Does that mean it has the spec of a 400 for the price of an 800? |
