I am looking to get a Dev 200 possibly but just had the bad news that my existing network player does not have a digital out. So I now have to build in a new one into my already stretched budget. The D1 is therefore something i am looking at. The D1 is in stock now apparently. RE: Dac-less streamer survey! - Shantanu - 12-Mar-2015 It is perfectly possible to stream Hi-Res music files from Qobuz or Tidal. It is another matter that the Devialet user interface is inadequate.

It's a bit harsh to say that the user interface is inadequate: as far as I know the remote app was not designed to support streaming from Internet services, and never claimed to do so. When Spark supports the Expert Line it should support streaming Qobuz and Tidal directly to the amp, I believe.

If you are referring to the online streaming services from Qobuz or Tidal, they are not hires, but CD quality FLACs. You can stream hires via AIR or via USB from any number of applications on a PC or Mac. RE: Dac-less streamer survey! - hk6230 - 21-Mar-2015 From what I read, Sonos Connect digital out is 'DAC-Free' and according to measurement test by Stereophile, it is basically bit-perfect when volume set to fixed and output to Devialet via digital out. No special mod is required for better sounding as the internal clock inside Devialet will take4 care of any jitter/timing issue by reclocking the bitstream. But of course, Connect can only handle 16/44.1 files. But its music services offering is the best by far in terms of variety and availability.

I can only stream the music that is stored on the iPhone/Pad using "My Music" AFAIK the Devialet App has never been claimed to or advertised as being capable of streaming from the internet. It is, and always has been since first announced, for sending music sfrom a computer or smart device to the Devialet. If anybody told you otherwise they are ignorant and should not be offering advice.

RE: Dac-less streamer survey! - Jnan_devi - 15-Apr-2015 Deleted my earlier post to save some space and to add Moon Mind. Again not in any order of quality nor biased. I wish I could change my vote for a "Yes" . Could not wait for the AIR improvement hence went ahead with Bluesound Node.
