Does anyone actually know what the difference in the case is compared to. D200? When I discussed this with one of the Devialet engineers once, he said many things relating to transient cooling of specific components. How does this actually work?
Any ideas?
Confused is absolutely right in that direct comparisons between D-Premier/D250 and D125/200/400 are total apples/oranges. From all I've read there was a dramatic reduction in cooling efforts, expenditures and results between the early muffin-top and current flat-top components. I believe if we have any hope of a credible temperature baseline for either machine we need to have a well thought-out and executed Q&A poll that lists all the pertinent questions and doesn't rush headlong into an over simplified what-are-your-Devialet-temps Poll, which will inevitably be meaningless and frought with ambiguity and only lead to more questions. That won't help anyone glean a clearer understanding of Devialet thermal dynamics and only foster more confusion and further questions. Truth is even between machines of same internal design & volume must take a hit temp-wise with higher power since heat/power are not mutually exclusive but rather tied together inexorably.
