Niagara 1200 with Monsoon and Z3 or all the way up will bring you unbelievably results
Did you try it on Devialet?
I heard that D class is pretty dependent on the current. I have some feeling that my Devialet sounds better in the late evening
I am just curious can some power conditioner make an impact (positive, of course
thanks

I did extensive testing with a 220 Pro as well as 440 Pro - and it’s the same impact that power supply had. Just using an Audioquest Z3 will immediately improve the sound. And if you go for a Niagara 1200 or 3000 the difference is absolutely outstanding. I have to admit I would have never thought it makes such a difference.
