You did not miss that bit, as I have not posted my location, for some reason it slipped my mind.

I'm in Ottawa, Canada. So anybody in Ottawa got a 400 I could listen to Rolleyes

It approaches the ideal 'Straight Wire With Gain' especially the monoblocks. If there is a weakness elsewhere, the D400s don't give it a place to hide. Dropping a D400 into your tube-heavy system will be a revelation, whether good or bad.

Before getting my new speakers (I'll post pics soon) i beleived the D400's to be the weak point in my system, but now they are beginning to surprise me. The dynamics and ambience I was prevously accustomed too have returned, pointing the finger directly at the ML montis

I'll upgrade to the Esoteric GU-01 clock before considering changing the amps now.

Shame SAM is only working on one channel at present, but hoping to have a resolution either on here or from Devialet directly
