Left the d1 server playing overnight and it's sounding even better this am. Currently playing Mozart Complete String Quintets (Grumiaux Trio) on Philips... redbook FLAC.
It does seem remarkable that I've managed to squeeze even more performance out of my dual monos.
Someone on one of the french forums mentioned that introducing the d1 server into their Devialet system was a bit like going from stereo to dual mono... at the moment I'd be inclined to agree with him. It is that kind of improvement and the sound seems to have been affected in many different ways.
A proper/more objective comparison with the other streamers is coming of course!
