We had a 250 available but this would have boosted the effort :-)

I assume the scale was to 10 for each category. I also assume the reviewers have heard other systems that they feel are better as the Devialets didn't get to 10.
Do you mind telling us what some of those other components/systems would be?

None of us is a professional reviewer, but the others are way more educated than me :-) 10 was supposed to be attending a life performance in an optimal listening position.
Understood.

Hi Markus,
Thanks for this very interesting review.
Could you kindly precise the firmware version of the OdA ?
Thanks in advance.

Amazing work. Sounds an impressive methodology, and listeners, and a lot of hard work.
I've rarely seen a clear statistical improvement from tests like this, but you seem to have done it. It's a real challenge to the, all competent amplifiers that are accurately level matched and operating within their limits sound the same crowd.
