1000Pro: Highly emotional, more than Le 800!
Here is my feeling after a few hours of my 1000Pro plays!
I listened to my 1000Pro since yesterday and I must say it goes to the top!
The 800 is right, accurate and rigorous but it does not provide as much emotion as the 1000Pro.
While this is still early and I rely on my memory for comparison, the sound of 1000 is fuller, with more material and much more fluid, you could almost say it is analog.
Mathieu Pernot (Devialet) says they have improved the ratio class D current / class A current. More Class D "works" and less the class A "works". So the result is that we ear more the class A than before, hence the analog sound
Music seems more obvious, fluid and easy. The 800 seems more tense compared to the 1000Pro with a little hardness.
Extinctions notes are also better.
Here I am a very positive, but obviously the 1000Pro plays in a league above. I think it is the same thing with OdA. Furthermore, it is expected improvement if with burning ...
I was lucky not to expect too much with an upgrade in 10 days. At the reception, the amplifiers are much heavier with the massive copper plate. The manufacturing is beautiful, the connectors are also in copper housing.
One might think that this is a new product. Remote controls have the black background, unlike that of my white D1er.
As for OdA, it comes with 2 QA power cables, as well as digital interconnect cable and a cable trigger.
I wanted to connect with my own cables, but I have not succeeded in RCA/ AES configuration with my Audioprana cable.
But I must say that with the cable RCA / RCA AQ the result is superb. I would see later for other tests.
So for me, this upgrade is a success, it even seems to me, more interesting than the previous one in 2014.
