HELLO
I just finishegd listening this system:
- Devialet 200
- B&W 805D
- USB cable Audioquest Diamond
- Speaker cable Audioquest Castle Rock
- Toshiba Laptop with Windows7 and Foobar2000 with WASAPI event plug.
Music:
WAV files from ,,Manger Test CD":
- Sonate no.8
- Ghazali
- Pavane
24/96 files from CD ,,Thibault Noally - A Violino solo"
- track 1
- track 2
Room surface: 22 square meters
Sound with SAM on:
- very musical
- very natural
- bass notes are more powerful and better controlled, there are ,,extra" bass sound not existing when listening with SAM off...it seems like our loudspeaker received extra woofer;-). Much better punch!
- no fatigue during listening
- You don't need to use expensive USB (like Diamond) while having SAM on. Compared with 10 Euro USB cable, Diamond USB is better in respect of details and extra sound layers but it is also sometimes too powerful in bass notes. SAM is so good that doesn't need extra bass tones offered by Diamond (IMHO).
SAM changed the sound of 805D. There is no more ,,sourround sound" 3D stereo stage. 805D are now very nice sounding, being more in style of good Sonus Faber Monitors than typical B&W technical sound.
With SAM on music is more refinied. This combination: Devialet 200 (SAM on) + 805D is very musical ensemble. This is a setup for pleasure of listening music.
805D with Devialet with SAM off are sounding very transparent with a bigger soundstage but there is a lack of musicality and lack of fantastic timbres...
Transformation is big...bigger than with 802D with Devialet 250...
SAM is a very good option for owners of high-end monitors.
