Thanks for that update, Guillaume.

See, you're just as critical here as always, even if your Devialet is silver rather than gold. You have better information than I can find anywhere else.

Now I know more about my Devialet than I did yesterday. You may have helped me avoid the temptation to buy an expensive cable, so thanks for that. On the other hand I now need to do listening tests with interlink cables again (oh joy) incase I can sell my cable and go back to stock.

Do you know in what version of firmware the jitter bug was fixed? It would have been helpful if Devialet had put that in the release notes, but since they don't communicate well we rely upon you to inform us.

It was a while back, sorry don't have the details. I believe it was mentioned in a changelog at the time. When I discussed this with Devialet they offered this by way of an explanation.

Years ago when I had the 500 which became an 800 I found that the digital link made quite a big difference. Enough to spend a small fortune on one. I don't think I would recommend this now. Yes a decent digital cable will make a difference but it's nothing in comparison to what can be achieved with other things.

If you want to really unleash what the Denali can do then try one of the new Delta PCs which are a substantial improvement over the discontinued Z-PC10. And at roughly half the price!
