News from HK dealer -Expert 1000PRO

Mainly on a D800.  Although I did hear the Aurender N10 via USB then AES/EBU, then a Melco N1Z & N1ZH in a quick fire demo using the O'dA, this was at Oxford Audio's streamer event.  Consensus in the room that day was the Aurender via AES/EBU was preferred over the Aurender via USB.  I didn't hear equivalent music via the Aurender vs the Melco.  So at least it looks like the AES/EBU vs USB hierarchy remains similar.  Do we know for sure the O'dA has the new DAC ADH intelligence etc?  Although, I know from the recent pictures, the ADH board ine O'dA does look like the one in the 'PRO'.

We don't know anything for sure, but what we know is :

• the DAC is an essential part of the Devialet architecture, which, even for analogue inputs, is digitizing and converting back to analogue via its DAC
  
• the version number of the internal architecture of the D900 is 6.0, the same as the expected D1000
  

So I would reasonably infer from this that the D900 has the new DAC. Until I am proven wrong
