If we go back and think how its started before Amara,jplay,Tidal,roon,hq player,switches etc etc etc and Computer Audiofile was the reference for tweaking
Are Devialet supposed to catch up with all this toys and be aligned att all time ?
Is there any one box solution who can handle all this tweaks and new programs without having a living room look like a hifi shop ?
It started with the D Premier…..remember
Summing up
Yes, at $15,995, the Devialet D-Premier seems expensive. But when you consider that in my system it replaced a combination of a D/A preamp and similarly rated power amplifier costing a smidgen short of $29,000 without cables, and in some ways sounded better, that price starts to look more competitive. And that's without considering the additional cost of a high-quality D/A converter for those with a conventional preamplifier. Then there's the fact that the D-Premier's hardware platform has been designed for easy upgradeability via firmware upgrades.
