It looks like a Schurter PEM (Power Entry Module) to me.
TacT Audio used these filtered PEMs on their RCS units.
Since there was a similar line filter built into the SMPS they used, I installed unfiltered PEMs in my units.
I felt there was an improvement in SQ, but I also did a number of upgrades to the line filter in the SMPS.
I'm guessing the Devialet power supply has a very good line filter, but they may need to use these filtered PEMs
to meet electrical regulations.
Shouldn't be hard to replace the filtered PEM with an IEC input, but it will probably void your warranty.
