Devialet's newest technology...?

[GuillaumeB]

I bought Devialet because I thought the guys at Devialet should concentrate on making their products sound better and better and in one day, hopefully 1 to 2 years, at least as good as the top-flight PRE / AMP / DAC Combos. That's the reason why audiophiles spend the money on them and give up their conventional gears.

And their marketing approach is just too lousy. So lousy!

Do you not think it is as good as the top Pre/Amp/Dac combos at the moment then?

I recently home dem'd a Vitus SIA-025 with Vitus MPD-201 DAC. As much as I loved the Vitus sound I was more than happy to go back to my 800. I think Devialet have really raised the bar when it comes to detail and transparency. Value for money is extraordinary.

Would the 800 beat a full Constellation Audio/Metronome rig? I don't know. But then we're talking well in excess of £100k.

Do I think Devialet should rest on their laurels? No! Absolutely not. I for one will be massively disappointed if they don't continue to improve the SQ. And yes I think they can still improve on it!

Re marketing let's not forget that this is a small company dealing with phenomenal demand for its products. There are bound to be some bottlenecks in the company. As I've stated elsewhere Devialet sales are outstripping everything else combined!!! It's almost unprecedented in hi-fi, certainly in this era of Sonos and iDevices.

Personally I think the #phantomrising campaign is genius. No doubt the new product will be very disruptive indeed. I can't wait to find out more.
