Good luck with the demo Guillaume! At the very least, I hope it is in some way conclusive.
I think the others have asked just about every question that could be asked, but I would add a question regarding the specification / model numbers of the supplied mains and S/PDIF cables.
The big question has to be the obvious one though. Does it sound discernibly better than a D800 and if so, by what kind of margin? (hard to define, I know) Is this a home demo or are you off to the dealers? I think if it was me, I would want to do a straight back to back comparison with a D800. Is this what you are planning? I guess all will be revealed later.
I hope this goes to plan, enjoy!
Cheers Confused. Re cables I will let you know. I think the SPDIF is AQ Carbon, the 3.5 Jack cable is an AQ Sydney and the mains are AQ NRG ones although not sure of the X spec. Will confirm this anyway.
This is a home demo so it should be pretty straightforward.
