It's very possible the higher volumes I need (anything up to +10 dB recently!) are actually the result of a fault with the unit, possibly a faulty Class D section. It's good to hear people have much lower volumes set as it confirms my feeling that something is not quite right.Hi Rufus - this is interesting. I normally listen at between -15db and -5db, with speakers rated at 87dB/W/m. I actually contacted Devialet about this, and they said it was normal.
Their response was that, essentially, if the unit was producing sound, it was fully functional - i.e. the unit would either work properly, or it wouldn't work at all. This seems different from your experience of a fault class D section.
Did your Devialet display any Last Error on the appropriate menu?
