vote Magico M3 for SAM?

In my experience, SAM is a benefit regardless of price, because the Devialet can make corrections that can only be made in DSP. I'd say there are quite a few speakers at the lofty heights that have been SAM'd (including the Q7 mk2, which is well over $100k).

If it were me and I had the luxury of those speakers, then based on my experience I would leave it off. Since disabling it on my facts I much prefer the D.

It could of course be speaker specific, and maybe the facts isn't such a successful SAM profile, but the benefits don't outweigh the negatives in my setup (in my opinion). Or maybe I just don't like this 'perfectly aligned' sound its claimed to produce? Still, you don't have the benefit of comparing until they're profiled I guess
