Od'A 1000 PRO upgrade
#1
Hi guys thought I would create a dedicated thread for this. 

Could I ask all Od'A owners to report back their impressions? Positive, negative or indifferent... all are welcome!  Smile 

I'll start by saying I was most impressed by the boxes that the units came back in:

What lovely boxes. So flawless that I advise you not to open them.

I forget that phrase "from the sublime to the ridiculous" but it may have a use here?

Mine are back and working fine on LP and CD, I haven't really listened long enough to either Roon/Air or Air itself to know if it works as well as before.
Personally I don't feel confident to make any SQ comments since they were away 4 weeks and I am only confident doing level matched direct immediate comparisons.

Units sounded a bit dark/muffled at first. This was coming straight from the Totaldac/Absolare combo which I had been enjoying a lot lately.

A few hours in and the highs seemed a bit more extended. There were definitely some changes in the first few hours.

Last night I felt that I was hearing something a bit different in the sound although I agree with Frank above it's very difficult unless you do A/B with matched volume levels. 

Just been listening now and this impression is confirmed. Something feels a bit different with the sound, particularly with the lower mids which seem to be a bit denser. There is a bit more refinement with the sound. Maybe the OdA is just gripping the Sashas better. It's all sounding a bit more grounded (and no I haven't connected my Entreq boxes yet haha!).

It's still the Devialet sound and so it should be.  Smile
