Obviously I have similar issues with low volume + this (RA1570) one needs to warm up for at least 30mins. By then my daily evening quota of listening gets done (reading news paper or novel etc).
Heard by local dealer, that Devialets dont need warming time ? or its less time needed ? Any thoughts?
I work away from home so my D200 isn't always on. When I come home after a few weeks I find it sounds much more relaxed on the second night. I can't say whether this is because of the D200 or the Mac Mini. I leave them both on as much as possible when I'm home.
According to Jim Smith (Get Better Sound) you should always make sure a DAC or anything digital has been on for 24 hours before evaluating it. He might have a point although I'm not sure whether that woud apply to Devialet as the DAC sits inside the same chassis as the amp and warms up quite quickly. Anyway, for the few Watts it uses I'm not going to make a big deal out of it and just keep it on. I'll save the planet by driving less and walking more
