New, and not sure what to do next!

[Mikeeo]

Brake in takes a long time as I remember it, about 500 hours. Yes bass will be a bit boomy and un defined etc.

Also make sure that you have a clean power line as the Devialet will pick up any dirt on a bad mains line. Dedicated mains for the system is highly recommended or if there is a mains problem a filterbox but beware many filterboxes will kill some dynamics.

Interesting Mikeeo. I asked a similar question to the dealer who sold the D200 to me and another down south, and their inference was that expesive mains cables were an overkill, and to use the mains cable supplied or equivalent!

I have no idea what is right, as I was originally on-the-hunt forRuss Andrews / Kimber Reference PowerKord Mains Cable, but abandoned the idea after talking to them.

I can only tell my own experience with this! Dedicated mains and spur made the single biggest upgrade ever. After that I would say, play around with mains cables as they definitely make a difference. The problem with mains cables is that they offer no logic what so ever and the only way to decide is to listen. I would say that mains cables have the biggest impact on any gear. I was a non believer until I heard what the 'right' mains cable can do. My first was the JPS Kaptovator which actually gave a hike in performance (and bettering) compared to adding a DAC and PSU from Naim (at the time I had a CDX2 unit) . You will for sure understand what I mean when you hear it because you will!
The right mains cable does not necessary mean expensive.
