Devialet Chat

15% off from Devialet slave, time to go dual-mono
Just got an email from Devialet... Shame I bought one already...

At the moment I'm perfectly happy with my D200. I'd rather spend money on vinyl and hi-res downloads. Still it's a very nice offer!

I find CD are relatively expensive. Here a new CD costs about €17. A vinyl record is around €25 and often includes a CD or download. CD's are so 2012

Only secondhand CD's are good value for money, at least in my opinion.

Right now I'm partial to vinyl. I like how good vinyl sounds, and I like the big album art.

It's a pretty good offer. Shame I'm skint I also like the simplicity of one unit to be honest which was one of my reasons for buying my Devialet.

Have you tried Qobuz yet? I had a demo through a Devialet at my dealers yesterday. The catalogue is pretty comprehensive and the CD quality streaming sounded good to me. I'm just about to sign up for the free trial (have been waiting for my 200 to run-in before I started). I often buy second hand CDs as all I ever do is rip them and put them in a box. If qobuz works out then I will be buying a lot fewer physical discs

Yes, I'm a Qobuz subscriber, the sound quality is much better compared to spotify, the Qobuz app is not as good. Also, there is less content compared to spotify, but they are catching up!

Hi Eddye,

Off-topic, I know but I saw you're using Audirvana. Is that with AIR? Ethernet or WiFi? Is it easy to set up. I ask because It's early days for me and I'm running vanilla iTunes on an iMac and have read varying reports about whether Audirvana works with AIR. Thanks!

I use USB, but via AIR is possible, look here: http://devialetchat.com/Thread-Which-str...800#pid800 (post 35)
