I come from a Naim background using the Naim Dac which is a pretty good offer although it doesnt support USB. I used that for several years. Then I switched to Resonessence, having a Mirus for almost 2 years. Finally, I had a PS Audio Direct Stream mk2 Dac. All three of those a considered very good high end Dacs and I have to put the Mirus on top of the pack closely, very closely followed by the PS Audio and then the Naim ( and thats just because I had to use a USB/Spdif converter ).
My little 2 cents on this is that, to my ears, the Devialet is on par with those guys. Nothing scientific but I dont miss a bit of my Mirus which is the closest in character to Devialet. My taste, my room, my music, again nothing scientific just plain ol'ears....

how about... a dsd512 capable dac?
i never said it was inadequate, just that there will be models up from this one.

Devialet will probably start putting in Burr Brown PCM1795's instead of PCM1792's and call them D120+, D200+ etc... and make all us legacy owners feel inadequate.

Ummm... think I might have got Texas Instruments' DAC hierarchy a bit wrong!

ehh it happens.
anyways, which devialet owner wouldnt be happy with an upgraded dac that instead of pcm 192khz and dsd56 does pcm 384khz and dsd 256/512
doesnt mean our dac is bad, just that it could be better
