Well we just don't know. There are a number of significant differences between the O d'A and 1000 Pro, not least of all the new power supply which can now handle 4kW transients. Then there is the new Class A amp, new ADH and Magic Wire DAC etc.., although on this final point I'm not even clear whether the O d'A already has this or not, an example of the poor comms I was discussing. It almost feels like Devialet have been trying to downplay the differences between the O d'A and the 1000 Pro, there just hasn't been any clarity and believe me we have been pushing for more info on this.
On paper there is every reason to expect the jump from O d'A to 1000 Pro to be substantial. I imagine some of the dealers will be able to compare the two soon seeing as many dealers still have unsold stock thanks to the launch of the 1000 Pro.
Anyway at some point I'm going to have to draw a line under all this and move on as it is getting tedious. I imagine I must be coming across as a spoilt brat to some of you.
