Is the Devialet Expert now valueless?

[Gerronwithit]

I use my D1000 to drive the front speakers from my Denon AV amp. This was one of the fundamental reasons for buying the Expert at that time. For pure Hi Fi the D1000 is still pretty phenomenal bested by the quality of the streamed output easily available. I use the Amazon offering as it was better than Tidal when I changed. This was confirmed by the very impartial ears of my wife. At the moment I am thoroughly enjoying Peter Gabriel’s wonderful i/o album for both the musical and recording qualities.
