RE: Two iPods - are they really necessary? - Antoine - 19-Nov-2014 Yeah, I love the Devialet remote too with it's big smooth running wheel. It lays, within an arms reach, besides my on the couch while listening to music and the iPad is on my chest or lap (depending how much I lay back ) I've never used the app much and even can't no longer since I've disabled both WiFi and ethernet inside of the Devialet. I don't care if it wears or not (haven't noticed any wear so far) it's a 'consumer good' not a museum piece so it needs to be used!

I use an old iPhone 3 to control volume using the Devialet App, and an iPad mini to control my music, using either iPengHD, or Squeeze pad (sometimes mpad), depending how the mood takes me! I do get hooked by technology and the Wilson Benesch stuff is terrific and what's more it is made in Yorkshire!

What a pity that the UK Quad disappeared. Their 77 series was ground breaking but they simply ran out of money (having never charged enough for their earlier stuff) so the magnificent 77 remote never really became fully functional as Quad made 3,500 or less of each of the 77 pre, power, tuner and CD. Let's hope the Devialet business model is better.

The Quad 77 integrated and CD player was my first proper Hi-fi! I had them with a pair of piano black Sonus Faber Concertinos. Can't tell you how much pleasure they gave me. And yes the remote was superb! Guillaume RE: Two iPods - are they really necessary? - IanG-UK - 19-Nov-2014 Completely off topic but what a pity Quad disappeared - at least in terms of their UK innovation. Devialet seems to have many of the philosophies that Quad had (including that slightly frustrating one of giving customers what they need rather than what they want!) RE: Two iPods - are they really necessary? - Confused - 19-Nov-2014 Back on topic, I think the correct way of doing things is an iPad for track selection, an iPhone for checking the volume setting (I can't see the amps display from the sofa) together with the Devialet remote to actually adjust the volume. I have to agree with many others who criticise the iPhone app's lack of functionality, why can't it show stuff like SAM on / off or other stuff you can get on the amps own display? I also could not agree more that it would be be splendid if an iPad could run two apps together, giving track selection and Devialet remote in one. They are sticking high powered quad core processors in mobile phones these days, I would have thought this level of multitasking should be easy?
