New LE 120 owner need preamplifier out board and remote
#1
Just recently became a Devialet LE 120 owner. Have been tremendously enjoying the unit for the past several days. I would like to inquire about two parts:

I'm looking for information on the preamplifier out board, i.e. pricing and availability. Also, I would be interested in purchasing a used board from anyone on this forum if one is available. 

And I'm looking for the remote if anyone has a spare, or is willing to sell a used one. My unit is a master, as I can connect via wifi and use the iOS app, but I would like to be able to use the additional features that only the remote has, access to advanced menu, SAM, etc. 

Thanks for your help guys.

The second part begs the question as to why your amp came without a remote?

Where are you located?  it's just that I noticed a Devialet remote on eBay, for sale in the UK.  (£250)

Thanks! Just bought it. I'm in United States. Still looking for the preamp out board if anyone has any information.

What do you mean by "preamp out board"? I have never heard of such a thing. The Devialet can be programmed through the web-based configurator to operate as a preamp.

LE 120 did not come standard with preamplifier out capability. In order to enable preamp out in the configuration, a physical circuit board has to be installed. You can see the video here directly from Devialet: https://help.devialet.com/hc/en-us/artic..._site=true

Hi Invictus,

Welcome and congratulations on the D120. It is a marvellous amp. It was the amp I heard that moved me solidly and rapidly into the Devialet fold... well, it took me a few months to work up the courage to spend that much. But it is brilliant and I might get one for my office system. Now I'm apparently numb to the cost.

The pre out board does exist and was advertised by Devialet when the D120 was current. Now, it may need to be ordered from a dealer, or from Devialet itself. I've never seen one for sale, but I have seen some very long-running ads by D120 owners who are looking for one. Once installed, the software does configure it, but the physical board does need to be added. In Canada, I believe they were about $500.00 - $600.00, but that is just my memory of a discussion about the pre out board in sept 2014.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'master' unit. The D120 is not a model that can be used with a second, or companion, amp to make a dual mono set up. They all have wifi and ethernet, etc, but are not bridgeable. Though the pre out board may offer a way to run a second amplifier, but it would not likely be the true Devialet dual mono set up.

But do clarify: did you not get the physical remote with your amp? Is your amp new or used? They do come up for sale occasionally, but again are about $500.00 new; less used. I believe that any Expert remote will work with the D120, thought the D250 remote may have been a bit different- I can't remember how, but others will know.

I also am looking for a pre-out board to fit to a 120 so I can connect a sub.
I asked Devialet themselves and they referred me to my local dealer
He undertook to find one, but nothing has happened since August
Why cannot I buy one of these? Was referred to a dealer in Vienna in Austria, he gave me a price and then said he would not ship to South Africa?
Seems a poor state of affairs. As soon as the purchase is done, everyone looses interest

To the ones who intend to connect a subwoofer to Devialet, I just heard from a local hifi dealer that you can buy REL T5i, which has this bassline technology, allowing you to connect the subwoofer to the speaker connectors on Devialet with speaker cables, without the need for a dedicated sub out. However, how to connect the subwoofer depends on the amp type (A/B, etc...). As for Devialet, I think you'd better write them an email and confirm. Hope it helps~
