DD system

I'm guessing your question is, can you use the DAC of a CD player instead of the DAC in the Devialet. The answer is no but it needs some explanation. The Devialet has analog inputs that get converted to digital through its DAC before is't converted back to analog again, so when you use a CD player's DAC you are in fact doing a (digital to analog in the CD player) to (analog to digital to analog in the Devialet) conversion. That said, if you have a specific sound signature in your CD player, the Devialet's conversion is clear enough to show you the CD-player's signature.

Hope that helps

Hi,

the point is with the Devialet i not important what for cd player you use?  -> a Esoteric K03x give you the same sound like a simply "Oppo1 05"? (will be used as transport at the end is correct?)

if I go into the Devialet with the analog rca (xlr are not present in the Devialet) is used always the Dac from the Devialet or "only" if I connect my player via coax or analog cable is a "simply" transport.

I hope you can understand my question.

I had B&W802d2 in the past an they need power (not only watt but too damping factor) and sure another d200 can give you a lot of pleasure.

the Italian dealer...well you are in Europa -> France?

Thank you very much

Dear Style.
It's very important which CD player use.
If you use a ESOTERIC K03 of course that is not the same like use the CD player of 200 USD...The Oppo is good Player but for me is much better Esoteric.
If you connect the CD player to Devialet with analog rca you use the Esoteric DAC but if you use the optical digital out you use Devialet DAC and use Esoteric just like transport.
It's very difficult to say which is better.
Both are excellent electronics and the only thing that you can do is try.
I live in Italy and there is a distributor.
I'm out for work, when I will come back at home I will buy the new D200.
Also the new 802D3 has need power
