Expert 140 and vinyl (MC) - mister.methano - 06-Dec-2024
Hello,
I'm new to the forum and would like to share my first impressions of the Devialet with you.
I retired my older Yamaha integrated amplifier (A-S2000) a few weeks ago and now have a Devialet Expert 140 Pro here. My first impression of the sound was already very good, but I also like the other functions, especially SAM and the many customization options for the configuration and of course the Devialet all-in-one strategy.
I listen almost exclusively to vinyl via a MuFi m6 Vinyl phono preamplifier (MC). However, as I want to reduce the number of devices, I have started to test the MC-Devialet phono section.
The good news is that the hiss with MC is absolutely ok for me. The bass seems a bit thinner, but is more than compensated for by SAM. Apart from that, I can't detect any real differences between the phono sections.
The bad news is that I can hear several disturbing noises with the Devialet phono section:
1. a clocked noise, most likely from the WiFi. There are days when it is only audible at a very high volume, but today it was already present at -40dB.
The only solution here is to completely deactivate the WiFi in the Devialet configuration. The WiFi stand-by function in the configuration does not help here.
Basically, the Devialet WiFi function doesn't seem to be really stable. There are days when I first have to unplug/plug in the mains plug to get the Devialet to connect to the WiFi.
2. irregularly occurring ticks (always two in a row, approx. 1 second apart, then a pause of several seconds). As these ticks have only appeared since today, I will first check whether a new device is in operation in the neighborhood.
The above-mentioned noises never occurred with my previous combination (Yamaha A-S200/MuFi m6 Vinyl or MuFi m6 Vinyl with Devialet line in).
Could it be that I have overlooked something in the configuration that could be the cause of the noise? Are there any known solutions in the forum?
Greetings Jürgen

Hello,
I'll just answer myself.
Since the solution with the WiFi stand-by during phono not working properly, I now simply have 2 SD cards.
1x with WiFi and 1x completely without WiFi.
It's a shame that Devialet can't get to grips with these little things.
Greetings Jürgen
