Wow, I love reading these kind of messages as it kind of confirms what I am hearing!

Is this guy 'Devialet-User' active/reading here too?

Hello everybody.
Just recently we have compared an AURENDER W20 with an optimized dual-PC-setup and everybody agreed that the dual-PC-setup sounded much better than the W20!
We have used two systems for the comparison: The fully active GRIMM LS1 playback-system and our large reference system (DEVIALET 800 / B&W 800 Diamond / PS Audio P10 / AUDIOQUEST).
In fact the dual-PC-setup has beaten every other source we have compared it to (LINN DS / NAIM and of course every CD-player including PS AUDIO PWT memory player).
To us this is right now the ultimate source for real audiophiles (and I am in this game already for more than 30 years). It is really astonishing…….

Hello.
The two PC's we are using have been build on FUJITSU D3062-B motherboards, INTEL i7 cpu's , SAMSUNG SSD's plus the full range of the latest JCAT products. Especially the JCAT USB card improved the SQ very much. OS 2x Windows 2012 server, AO 1.26, JPLAY dual setup, playback with JPLAY mini. All files we are using are wav. format ONLY, ripped on a special HQ ripping server made by AMI HiFi.
But please note that we are using a PS AUDIO P10 power generator plus high quality power cables equipped with FURUTECH's top range series 50 connectors for the PC's powersupply, too. Moreover we place the PC's on a very good HiFi rack (ARTESANIA Exoteryc).
Finally it seems as if the DEVIALET USB input matches perfectly with the JCAT USB card. Besides, the 5V power can be switched OFF as the DEVIALET does not require it. This might be an advantage, too.
Maybe we simply had good luck to find such a marvelous setup.
