It wouldn't entirely surprise me if this unit didn't have ADH; in a sound-bar at this price the transducers probably have high enough inherent distortion that the subtlety of a class A amp would be lost on them. Instead I expect that Devialet's "magic" here is in DSP, derived from SAM, to compensate for the deficiencies of the transducers and make them sound better than they really are.
To me this doesn't seem to be a very ground-breaking product, but rather catching up with things like Sonos' Soundbar. That said, I can see why Devialet would want to do it, as it should certainly get their branding in front of a huge number of new customers.
