Devialet 800 vs. 1000 Expert Pro - Oliver - 19-Aug-2021
Hi, everyone.
I am new to this forum, hope, this thread does not exist yet.
Does the upgrade from 800 to 1000 make sense?
Is the DA converter really better and so is the power supply? How about the sound?
The upgrade costs EUR 4.900.
Thank you for your opinions.
Regards
Oliver

I regretted converting my 2 D-Premiers to 800s FWIW.
The phono stage got noisier, I lost the HDMI input and the sound quality was the same.
The gains were more power, which I am not sure I needed, and the ability in DSP to use SAM and my speakers don't have a profile for SAM so no gain for me.
Based on my careful evaluation I would not expect a change in sound unless you are running at very high power levels.
Others will have different advice I am sure!

Hi. Thank you very much for your information; of course that's annoying.
Are there any of you who have switched from the Dev. 800 to the 1000 Expert Pro?

Hi @Oliver . I think @Confused here at DC had 800 before his current 1000 and has described his view on the difference at least once, maybe several times. A bit of search should easily bring posts on this.

Basically when I had 800 I was thinking if I change away from Devialet. I was already testing other options. Then I tested 1000 and it was immediate decision to upgrade to 1000. It is so much better. No regrets!
