RE: DD system - Pim - 28-Dec-2015 (28-Dec-2015, 12:36)style Wrote: Hello, I'm guessing your question is, can you use the DAC of a CD player instead of the DAC in the Devialet. The answer is no but it needs some explanation. The Devialet has analog inputs that get converted to digital through its DAC before is't converted back to analog again, so when you use a CD player's DAC you are in fact doing a (digital to analog in the CD player) to (analog to digital to analog in the Devialet) conversion. That said, if you have a specific sound signature in your CD player, the Devialet's conversion is clear enough to show you the CD-player's signature. Hope that helps RE: DD system - Hualapai - 28-Dec-2015 Hi Style! Thanks a lot for your compliments! At the moment I use one D200 and the sound is great but not excellent. Off course could be enough for the new B&W but the idea is that to put another D200 and use D400 system. I tried with the italian distributor (magnificent person) to add the D200 in my home and the result is much better that one D200. I use the Devialet DAC with TIDAL, I don't use the CD player. Bye and thanks again!! RE: DD system - style - 29-Dec-2015 Quote:I'm guessing your question is, can you use the DAC of a CD player instead of the DAC in the Devialet.

(will be used as transport at the end is correct?) if I go into the Devialet with the analog rca (xlr are not present in the Devialet) is used always the Dac from the Devialet or "only" if I connect my player via coax or analog cable is a "simply" transport. I hope you can understand my question. ----- I had B&W802d2 in the past an they need power (not only watt but too damping factor) and sure another d200 can give you a lot of pleasure. the Italian dealer...well you are in Europa -> France? Thank you very much Best rgds style RE: DD system - Hualapai - 29-Dec-2015 (29-Dec-2015, 12:44)style Wrote:Quote:I'm guessing your question is, can you use the DAC of a CD player instead of the DAC in the Devialet.

I never liked the original B&W !!!!! But and it a big but ..... To my opinion the 802 D3 one of the best speakers on the market today . It big step of B&W new technologies , new materials ......more impotent NEW SOUND !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sel-EoCEeC4 Its on my upgrade list . I must agree the 400 will do good . RE: DD system - style - 29-Dec-2015 Hi, the new D3 series is a really step up. new "Marlan head", new "tweeter", new technoogy .....a lot of $$$ in searching.... At today I have the Wilson Sasha2 but if you go see pirce/performance the B&W is alwayson the edge! I have lsisten Devialet and I like it: now I have a "big" system Passlabs pre & monos plus player, music server..... = a D4000 will be perfect! All in! A extra D200 sure great choice: in monos or you go in bi-amp to the B&W? You buy a "extra 200" without "control"? (another D200 with remote control or the "expanse" version? For the player is used bie coax is not very important what you go use....a transport layer lie the Oppo sound good....sure a "tpo tramsport system" (read Esotric) can give you a little more "pleasure" but the price from a Esoteric (ex. K03x) is the same in $$$$ vs. sound quality from a cd player at the half Esoteric player? (maybe a system Philipls from the top)? Thank you DD system - dunga - 29-Dec-2015 ghiradelli RE: DD system - Hualapai - 07-Jan-2016 Hi Guys, I bought the new loadspeakers cable, Nordost Frey 2. There is more detail than Straightwire also if the last one was perfect with Mcintosh electronics. Soon the pictures.. RE: DD system - mixart - 08-Jan-2016 Nice setup. Always like the look of B&W Diamond serie, especially the new D3, but a 802D3 + D200 is too much money for me, så I have 2 Phantom Silver. Have you compared these two system?

I've always had the loadspeakers like Bowers Wilkins, Martin Logan, Wilson (...) but I think for the quality price and innovation the Devialet Phantom are perfect. I will try the other Devialet 200 soon in my set up, I want wait for the ranning-in period of the 802D3. The sound improves every day listening music |
