I have been in contact with Vincent Brient (from Totaldac) with the intent to buy a d1-server for my soon to arrive Devialet. He has offered me to buy a complete DAC (d1-six) instead and to feed the analog output signal from his DAC into the Devialet. He claims that some Devialet users have found this solution a further improvement compared to d1-server + Devialet.
Have you ever heard or read about this kind of solution ?
Thanks,
Pierre
Yes I have heard of this. As long as you understand that the analog output of the d1-six would go through the AD and DA converters of the Devialet it is OK (i.e. you are not bypassing the Devialet DA-converter by doing this). The AD-DA process in the Devialet is very transparent. If you connect a record player to one of the phono inputs of a Devialet amp the signal will go through the same AD-DA chain.
The best would be if you could try both a d1-reclocker (server) and a d1-six with your amp and then decide what is best for you.
