ESL X is 91db sensitivity. I am using my D400 to drive Focal Kanta 2, which I believe is also 91db sensitivity. My D400 is hot, and I also want to make sure it is hot by turning off the power management options, the Devialet sounds much better when it is hot. When you want the Devialet to rest, just turn it off. I usually leave my D400 on 24 hrs beforehand when I have my listening session, this ensures it is at best performance. It will not overheat and degrade the sound quality even if I leave it on for 2 weeks.
Depending on songs, I sometimes need to put my D400 into positive db volume regions as well. This is normal, some songs are recorded with really small volume. But generally speaking -20db to -10db is the normal range.
I only use digital source, so I don't use the RCA input. I read from review some time ago that 192khz may not be the best sampling rate and may sound 'digital', try 96khz.
