Whirring sound?

Hello everyone

I am also a new owner of a Devialet 120. Very happy so far, except with its noise. I can hear it also in 3 meters distance. Of course only faint and benign, but I can definitely hear it.
The noise emission of my unit is louder than a new 2014 iMac with an SSD and a little bit less than a n external Western Digital 2.5”USB-Harddisc. Just to give you a comparison.
I’m sensitive to such noise and I’m thinking about getting a replacement, if my unit is louder than average. Unfortunately, I don’t have a comparison at hand, so I wanted to ask you. What do you think? Is this louder than average?

I'd go back to your dealer and listen to another unit there. If the background noise is spoiling your enjoyment of the music then you should definitely check it out.
