Devialet 110 What Hifi review

[ZincAlloy]

I have a confession to make here - my D200 is actually on its way back to Devialet with a potential fault. It's very possible the higher volumes I need (anything up to +10 dB recently!) are actually the result of a fault with the unit, possibly a faulty Class D section.   It's good to hear people have much lower volumes set as it confirms my feeling that something is not quite right.

Hi Rufus - this is interesting.  I normally listen at between -15db and -5db, with speakers rated at 87dB/W/m.   I actually contacted Devialet about this, and they said it was normal.   

Their response was that, essentially, if the unit was producing sound, it was fully functional - i.e. the unit would either work properly, or it wouldn't work at all.  This seems different from your experience of a fault class D section. 

Did your Devialet display any Last Error on the appropriate menu?  

ATB, Ken
