The system is slowly breaking in, 5 weeks, close to 100 hours I think, and I feel high frequencies sometimes too present, harsh on some records but it's improving. I feel a high SAM % has a negative impact on hf, emphasing harshness.
On some records it's already magic ! (fw 8.1.2)
I'm surprised with the good bass presence (compared to the size of the 805d) and the voices witchery.... Sorry, English is not my mother tongue
What I would like to say also is I can't resist switching on the D200 when I'm home !
EDIT:
Also what a difference between qobuz/AirPlay/airport express/optical and Daphile/wireworld starlight 7 (usb pin 1, +, isolated on the PC slot)/USB, incredibly well balanced and no tiring listening with Daphile (Alsa buffer 120, period 36).
Hi ledesc didn't you just post this here: http://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?tid=695
This thread is specifically about speaker cables.
