Congrats. Beautiful setup. Very much like your Sasha’s. Must sound fantastic with D440.
Would you say the PS Audio Premier is a significant upgrade to your system?

Hi sdn660,

Actually i bought the PPP back in 2010 many years before the Devialets. So I have never used the Devialets without - not even done an A-B test

That said, it was a huge improvement to my Lyngdorf TDAI 2200 i had at that time: More “black” background and much more relaxed sound.

Hi Bartype,

Good value for money upgrade i would say. Kind of same effect as the power conditioner: more silent/black baggrund and more relaxed sound. I have only tried the SBooster, so I don’t know how big the differences are between different LPSes.

Well, with the one i have i don't notice much difference between the standard power supply and the Plex...
