... except when I am not.

To tell a long story short, SQ is always great for non-classical music, it's great also for recent classical recordings, but it ranges from bad to appauling for less recent classical recordings. At least that's what I have found with my own record collection, bit perfect CD replicas using AIR 3.0, and with Qobuz CD quality (I have yet to try 24-bit recordings).

The older the recording, the more appauling the SQ.
 I am on 10.0.5.

Well...10.0.5 is offering You a digital sound good for a nice demo od new digital recordings. It should impress You.


Nowadays audio gear is mainly produced for short (20-30 min.) listenings. Most people who have money to buy high-end gear doesn't have more time daily for listening. They are making more money;-)

To listen classical music is not a very popular hobby in 2016. And for classical music You need more analogue sound. And only firmware 7.1.3. is offering You a bit of this analogue sound. But Devialet decided to move to another path...so You have new PRO and new firmware 10. They must be right...because most od people are so happy with Their new PRO GEAR...just some old guys remebering old school sounds are not very enthusiastic;-)

How delightfully patronising.
