What devialet should do next... - Jaxwired - 02-Jan-2015 ...according to me. Car audio would be a perfect fit. I'm not talking about after market car audio. I'm talking about getting in with the auto makers and having a devialet system as a factory option in a luxury car brand. If I was an exec at devialet that's what I'd be tackling at this point. Obviously huge money opportunity in this and IMO the devialet products could really bring car audio to a new level by using DSP custom matched to the vehicles. Home audio manufacturers have been partnering with the luxury brands for years. Mark levinson in Lexus, B&O in Audi, Burmester in Mercedes, and who can forget the ubiquitous Bose systems. But I personally think there's still plenty of room for improvement in this area. I just purchased a new Mercedes c400 with the Burmester system and while it's quite good it's no devialet. RE: What devialet should do next... - Pim - 02-Jan-2015 Not a bad idea but what about this; They have made the ADH chip small enough to fit inside a Personal Music Player. They have developed Spark which works on a tablet so it's only a matter of putting the two together, throw in a battery and some memory and you have a PMP of the highest order. Astell & Kern and Pono move over!

Astell & Kern and Pono move over! I second this Especially now they are trying to appeal to a bigger consumer base. Could be a real threat for A&K, HiFiMan, Fiio and the likes RE: What devialet should do next... - Mikeeo - 05-Jan-2015 (02-Jan-2015, 19:29)amabrok Wrote:(02-Jan-2015, 19:09)Pim van Vliet Wrote: Not a bad idea but what about this; They have made the ADH chip small enough to fit inside a Personal Music Player.

The configuration ghost will still be there I guess... /Mike RE: What devialet should do next... - Antoine - 05-Jan-2015 (02-Jan-2015, 19:09)Pim van Vliet Wrote: Not a bad idea but what about this; They have made the ADH chip small enough to fit inside a Personal Music Player.

Astell & Kern and Pono move over! Could be possible but don't forget the miniaturization of the ADH amplification has "only" grouped both the “Magic Wire” (=DAC and I/V conversion) and the Class A circuitries into a single component, the class D part of the solution is still external.

Astell & Kern and Pono move over! The question is then, do you need class D to run a pair of headphones or could you just run it on 1 ADH chip? You only need about 1 Watt or so don't you? |
