On my Devialet 120 power consumption is absolutely identical regardless of the DPM Setting in the Configurator and Devialet’s claim of adaption to the musical content cannot be measured at all.
I don't see any conflict between those two statements. The conclusion that the power drawn from the mains should vary with the musical program does not necessarily follow from the description of DPM, does it?
If you use the Devialet in pass thru mode the temperature difference is huge. Reduces from 59C to 41C (D120)
Great, this means it must have an effect for D120 as well. All temperature readings off my Devialet are between 36 and 38° while consuming 26W, so I'm probably on the extreme towards low temps. This could mean that my Devialet already runs on the "lowest power state". But to be honest, I don't completely trust these readings, subjectively it feels warmer, but currently I have no way to measure it.
If we only knew more what DPM actually does and under which circumstances it kicks in?
