Devialet 110 What Hifi review

[ZincAlloy]

Is the output of the amplifier the same for each digital input?   I mean if you stream the same music file to the amp via USB, wifi, ethernet or spdif is the power output the same for a given volume setting?

If not then that may account for some of the differences between listening levels listed above.

I seem to remember when I compared spdif to AIR before that spdif was a few dB louder but I'm not near my system now so I can't try it.

Hi PhilP - just noticed that those respondents who are listening at -30dB are running D400, so nsybe my single D200 is ok.  Certainly, have never had to get to the +10dB that Rufus has.   Must stop suffering from Devialet-induced paranoia! 

Hi Ken,

I typically run my 200 at -15 to -20 when listening via wifi AIR and my speakers are a little more efficient than yours so yes I think you're being paranoid. There's a lot of it about

What source are you using nowadays? I was really looking forward to the Dialog so I could finally get my old Mac out of my system but that's probably now a long way off.  I now listen to Qobuz most of the time - loving exploring their huge catalogue - so the Mac is used a lot, iTunes a bit and the NDX not much.

Cheers,

Philip

Hi PhilP - thanks for reducing the paranoia ....  Still using SBT via S/PDIF as main source.   I ordered a Dialog just as I was about to pull the trigger on an Auralic Aries, and we all know that this has been delayed.   I tried AIR and, when it worked, it was amazing.  I'm hoping that Dialog - when it arrives - will sound as good as AIR and be as robust as my SBT.  That would be the ideal.    So, I guess I'll just have to be patient a little while longer ....


Very interesting comments from Rufus re: Dialog.  Sounds like it can actually store content,  and not just grab content fom offline and internet sources.   Now,mid they do this, I'm happy to wait ....
