I have been using the Devialet Expert Pro 220 with my turntable setup for a few months now & it is blowing my mind. I knew it would sound great, but there is something about the analog warmth it delivers that I was not quite expecting — the detail and separation are next level.
I am using it with a Clearaudio Concept and a pair of Focal speakers. Curious if others here are pairing their Expert Pro with vinyl setups & what your experiences have been like? Any tips for tweaks or settings that help bring out the best from a vinyl source? Also wondering if SAM has made a noticeable difference for you vinyl folks — I have been playing with it a bit.
Thank you.
My Devialet (the 120 model) has an inferior phono stage, so it is not apples to apples.
I can only say that, in my case, the use of a step-up dramatically improved the sound quality. Without, I found the noise floor disappointing and the experience a bit fatiguing.
