I also have the BOTW power supply and is makes a good difference. Guillaurne, thanks for the options. I will not go to the level of eur 390 I believe. I will probably stop myself at a a level of eur 200. the Chord USB silver plus seems to be a good option but I believe later on I will want to upgrade this cable anyway only for physological reasons RE: Advices for a first time Devialet owner - archer75 - 20-Feb-2015 (20-Feb-2015, 08:55)iamwappie Wrote: I have the same setup and always was under the impression that the source is not that important. I too have a Touch for years and love it. I now have it as source to feed my 120. Great sound improvement. this looks interesting, I will have some through reading. anyway, I will use an ipad to control the device so I can leave without the wifi.

Ken, for 192/24 output via USB, you are talking about Enhanced Digital Output (EDO) installation, right? enjoy your cable and pls let me know how the performance is.

I have a 120 now and my system sounds better than ever. Don't forget to try SAM. The devialet site has the Liuto SAM profile listed under Liuto Wood, but I've confirmed with sonus faber that this is the same speaker as the regular Liuto. very encouraging to hear. I did not have a chance to test Devialet with Luito. what kind of changes at the sound you experienced from VSI60 to 120? I will for sure try SAM. RE: Advices for a first time Devialet owner - archer75 - 20-Feb-2015 All, thanks for all your input/contribution so far, pls keep them coming. I believe I will be in following order to setup my system to see what each step will add to the overall performance; 1- connect SBT via coax to Devialet 2- connect SBT via USB to Devialet 3- add Best of two worlds linear power supply and booster to the equation 4- install toolbox to SBT 5- try SAM on Lutios What I am not sure is whether I shall try step 5 - SAM enabled as a last step or perhaps at earlier steps? Thoughts are welcome. 4- RE: Advices for a first time Devialet owner - Jnan_devi - 20-Feb-2015 thanks for posting Archer. All above copied. Finally got my product, I m eagarly waiting to unpack my D120.

Mine is modded by Bolder Cable (digital mod) and I´m also using BOTW PS and TT 3.0, with a AQ Eagle eye to the Devialet. I´ve tried other solutions but I must say that the SBT is still going strong, both soundwise but in particular the ease of use. I´m using Ipeng with WIMP plugin and I´ve had very very little problems with this solution comparing to other ones. And as a transporter I must say: a very good bang for the buck! I´m waiting for the Dialog to see what it has to offer compared the the SBT.

Mine is modded by Bolder Cable (digital mod) and I´m also using BOTW PS and TT 3.0, with a AQ Eagle eye to the Devialet. I am glad to see many SBT users here. I have some questions; 1- I have just downloaded Ipeng, trying to understand how to use it. Can I run Ipeng without using a computer to run LMS - my music is stored at a NAS which unfortunately can not run LMS itself so I need to use a computer for solely the purpose of running LMS? 2- Do I need to install both EDO and TT 3.0 or just one? I read somewhere that having both may create some conflicts. 3- I see you are using a digital cable therefore you don't have EDO either - which one is a best connection for SBT? If not EDO, I believe it is COAX. 4- What is WIMP plugin for?

Without computer I think you only can access my squeezebox.com (to access radio etc) and a external hard drive. This thread might be of interest to you: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?82070-Touch-with-USB-drive-mastering-TinySB&highlight=mastering+tiny+sc 2: I have installed both. Though I only use TT 3.0 since I feed the Devialet trough S/PDIF . I haven´t had any complications between, though I have heard about it. 3: I have tried with a standard USB-cable and EDO but found my AQ Eagle eye (coax) slight better. Can´t say with a more expensive USB-cable. I Think this is individual and you need to listen for yourself. 4: WIMP is like Spotify but with uncompressed music (flac). The plugin allows you to control it trough Ipeng. Hope this clears some questions for you! Regards Johan |
