Pass-Through Configuration on Devialet?

[f1eng]

Only volume control can be bypassed.

It's too bad that one cannot bypass the ADC/DAC circuits to access the amplifier inputs directly, especially since DAC development is so rapid at virtually all price points.   It will be only a matter of time before the DAC implementations in the Devialet are bettered at an attractive price....

Whilst you may be correct on price, and I know a lot of hifi fans do not hold this view, in my experience the well engineered ADCs and DACs are already audibly transparent. Using my Metric Halo recorder there is no difference at all between the microphone feed and the output of the ADC/DAC on the sort of music I record.
This has been the case for quite some time too.
There are certainly commercially available DACs which sound different but that is because the designer has designed in some colouration of his liking, and it is no longer transparent.
Some may like this, but it doesn't effect the fact that the Devialet uses its ADC/DAC in an audibly transparent layout.
In fact the character/colouration of the non-transparent DACs I have tried into the analogue inputs of the Devialet comes through unaltered.
