First post, I'm demoing a D200 (my dealer doesn't have a D400) and have some general question. My system is speakers TAD's reference one's, MSB Transport which up for sale, Argento cables and mac mini.
I hooked up ethernet cable downloaded Devialet iPhone app. That solved the problem of knowing the volume level without getting up as well as changing inputs. Right now when I play music thru the mac mini via USB I'm using itunes, pure music and remote app. I read somewhere that it's possible to bypass using pure music and just use iTunes directly into the Devialet and pressing on the power button for a few seconds to see the sample rate playing. I don't see this in the manual. Has anyone read this or actually doing this? Is it even worth doing?
Is there a Devialet app out yet for the iPad like the iPhone has?
Is anybody stacking the Devialet units on top of each other? If so any heat issues?
What are folks putting underneath the Devialets with thicker cables? Right now I'm using some leftover Symposium Roller blocks II so the unit stays level.
When you get the new Devialet 400's do you have to go online to the Configurator right away or can you plug and play and config later?
The case around the D200/D400 vs. the case around the D250/D800 what the actual difference and why are they different?
Do the inputs upsample to 384 only if you are running mono Devialet 400's?
If you have a cd/sacd transport will the Devialet dac play sacd? I just tested it out and no sound
Finally are folks happy with the included crystal cable now a days it seem like a lot folks on this forum weren't happy and switched it out with a different brand?
Sorry for so many questions, newbie.
