If a Devialet is treated with fine power cable/seperate power line/footers/etc. to produce very low jitter inside while processing the music signal then everything will sound quiet nice I would say.
It is the combination of jitter of every part of the system in sum that makes the good or bad performance of a Devialet. I think this is often misunderstood.

Hi gui,
Makes sense but why would the treble sound harsher if the only thing I am replacing in the chain is the upgraded amp? Since the sources, power cables, etc., remain unchanged, I assume that the amount of jitter is constant when comparing the pro vs. the non-pro.
