Common misconception. The class A component of the Devialet has nothing to do with pre-amp functionality. It is part of the power amp part. The ADH concept is that the class A and the class D parts work in parallel for power amplification. RE: Original d'Atelier - G51 - 09-Mar-2016 (09-Mar-2016, 09:00)hk6230 Wrote: Hee Hee. I wish Devialet will offer us some hardware upgrade like DAC, wifi receptor, etc. Then, it will truly be future-proof. x 2 RE: Original d'Atelier - octaviars - 09-Mar-2016 (09-Mar-2016, 10:11)oelli Wrote:(09-Mar-2016, 01:50)hk6230 Wrote: Ha ha, I think you are over-thinking (or over-wishing) on the PCM1792 DAC's capability. I think DSD64 is the limit for this DAC, unless they change to a different DAC like Antoine said. Acording to Devialet white paper they convert DSD to PCM 40Bit/384kHz with their MAT. http://fr.devialet.com/assets/V3/pdf/White-Paper-Expert-.pdf Quote:MINIMAL ARITHMETIC TRANSFORM RE: Original d'Atelier - Gentleman - 09-Mar-2016 Hi. We have used a D250 as pre some time ago. At that time we still thought that large classical mono amps like KRELL or AVM might sound better. But the test failed. We did NOT like the SQ even though we tried different cabels, etc. To me the one box design is part of the magic.... Besides, I believe that DSD is massively overrated. I recommend to read some thoughts writen down by the folks at GRIMM Audio who work for recording studios for ages. http://www.grimmaudio.com/site/assets/files/1088/dsd_myth.pdf In Dubio Pro Audio Jan RE: Original d'Atelier - MusicLover - 09-Mar-2016 (09-Mar-2016, 17:31)Gentleman Wrote: Hi. You could have said it louder but not clearer! I agree, DSD is definitely overrated but I think the same goes for high res music in general. It's marketing, a war of numbers, the higher the better, or so is perceived. The real magic for a technically proficient album lies, mainly, in the chain between the microphones and the sound engineer. In my case, even though I've got over 300 high res albums, my favourites are, by far, rips of 16/44 quality. BTW, thank you for the link, I'll have a look right now. Here's another one from Goldmund: http://www.goldmund.com/en/technologies/does-high-resolution-audio-sound-better ML RE: Original d'Atelier - AaronG - 10-Mar-2016 As Grimm notes, Channel Classics is the exception since they do native DSD. He actually did a very nice DSD recording for Channel Classics himself! The point about 64fs actually being superior is very well-taken. Sometimes more (128. 256) is not better!
