Hi,
I am considering buying a Devialet 120 as I heard them at my local Hifi Dealer and was amazed by the stereo sound they produced. I am also going to test them in my own home coming weekend hoping to experience the same.
The reason I want to go with a Devialet is that I am totally not happy with the Stereo capabilities of my 5 year old AVR by Denon (Denon 3311). I am happy with the Denon 3311 with regards to Movie Sound Quality in Dolby and DTS mode, which delivers a great 5.1 sound experience.
Given that situation I am now considering using the Devialet as a power amp for stereo 2.0 only. This will apply to my CD player, Pro-Ject Turntable and Google Music/ Tidal lossless streaming. All other input signals coming from PS4, XBMC/RaspPi and TV can/should still be managed by Denon 3311.
Given this setup and the limited number of connectivity options of the Devialet 120 vs 200 I have the following question:
- Can my preferred setup be realized with the Devialet 120 without too much hassle?
- Will there be a noticable quality loss when connecting the Devialet via analog cable to the Pre-Outs of the Denon?
- Can I still use the Devialet remote for adjusting volume although volume management will be set to "passthorugh" in the Devialet settings?
- Is there another option I should consider?
Regards
Kian
