New Pro - SQ for classical music

The problem is that there is a lot of cheap and nasty digital versions of classical records out there.

I would chime in the above statement of cheap and nasty digital versions. Your Devialet could not distinguish between "old and new" (Red Book Standard) recordings. The DAC inside the D does what it does the same way every time. It's not the D for sure.

My experience is the same as Antoine's. Older and new recordings gain the same amount in SQ as your audio system improves. For me the old recordings even get more and more authentic in the case my system improves. For sure I can hear the flaws of these old recording techniques (although they are seldom anyway), but that doesn't bother me. In contrast it just draws me further into the music, because of its authenticity.

To conclude:
It would most likely be the "cheaply" made digital copy of the original (analog?) recording that gives the artefacts to your Devialet and the D just so precisely represents these artefacts to your ears  Dodgy 

Perhaps the best to dump these files and search for a pleasant original recording copy  Huh
