Power consumption

[Pim]

I don't have a measurement with current firmware, but with older firmware (7.x?) I measured a Devialet 200 at 5W when off, 8.5W in standby, and 26-29W driving B&W N802 or 36W driving KEF LS50.

In comparison my Pioneer SC-75 AV Receiver uses 0W in standby but 78W idle or driving either pair of speakers.

So the Devialet 200 uses more energy in standby but less when active than a modern AVR with similar power output. Oh, the Devialet also sounds much better too. So if you use a power strip or other device to cut the power to the Devialet when you're not using it you save energy and get better sound from the Devialet.

To put that into money terms; 
1 full year off but plugged in will cost you about $13.- 
1 full year on stand by $22.-
1 full year on somewhere between $75.- and $100.-

Or if you're thinking in environmental terms the global warming effect of running the Devialet will be significantly less than the impact on your room temperature
