Power consumption

[TDA]

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.

Thanks for that info.

that is great.. i came from the biggest yamaha AVR and converted into stereo now. So thats good info.

question though. will a Devialet amp not take damage of unpowering it all the time when not using?
