Deviousalet's System

[brit]

After lurking here for a year, as of today I'm delighted to join you all in enjoying a Devialet of my own. My D400 arrived this afternoon and was wonderfully easy to set up. Even Air worked perfectly for me right away. My two D200 both make the power-supply noise but I'll take that in exchange for the rarity of working Air.

Thanks to you all for this great forum. DevialetChat gave me the confidence to buy a Devialet where Devialet themselves gives the opposite impression. Thanks also to the USD/CAD exchange rate and a friendly northern neighbor for a great deal.

I'm sure with a few tweaks as suggested by you folks my system will sound even better, but I'm delighted with the upgrade that the D400 makes already. I'll post pictures when I have the aesthetics in acceptable shape but for now here's what I'm enjoying listening through:

Devialet 400 (configured dual-mono: "Master/Blaster"), driving B&W 802N speakers uni-wired with Soundlink Red Dragon cables, sourced from a Mac Mini ('12 quad-core i7 dual SSD running Mac OS X.11.x and Amarra Symphony with Dirac), feeding the D400 via USB (AudioQuest Jitterbug, AudioQuest Diamond, UpTone Regen), optical (Lifatec Silflex), or Air (Belkin Cat 7 ethernet cables switched through a TRENDnet TEG-S81G)

Hi deviousalet 

Welcome to the world of Devialet ownership  . Glad to hear that the setup was plain sailing - even air .

All to do now is lay back and enjoy the music.
