Which Devialet?

[Coffee_fan]

Hello @Weetabix, I am a new member also and I had a setup similar to yours, basically Tidal -> Linn DSi -> Tannoy XT-6 Revolution, which sounds extremely nice. I got me a Devialet 200 and what I obtained is basically more power, speed and definition. I still have both amps, the Devialet is connected to a pair of Triangle ESPRIT Antal EZ with SAM and I am feeding it with a bunch of sources that go from Devialet AIR through Ethernet to the Linn itself working as a streamer, a Sonos or a Raspberry PI that I run as a Home Server and feed bit-pure streams from it to the async USB of the Devialet.

In essence I have an english sound rig and a french sound rig. The english rig is more colored and softer the french one more detailed and precise. SAM is great and makes my speakers go to 18hz.

I am very happy with the Devialet, but the software seems to be friendlier in the Linn, where you can update / configure things remotely or monitor things like the bit-stream from Kazoo. In the Devialet, you need to upload new configurations via an SD card or you need to monitor bit rate using button pushes on the remote while watching the mini-display on the amp. In the Devialet you also need to figure out the streaming equation as it does not include a streamer as mentioned by @deviousalet.

Cheers.
