Devialet's newest technology...?

[GuillaumeB]

It would be cool if Devialet calculated the transfer function for a few of the more popular characterful amps and made them available on the configurator like SAM. OTOH I am not sure if they can emulate the effect of the high output impedance most of them have, and which must cause quite a proportion of their characteristic sound.
Anyway an Ongaku or Dartzeel button would be cool, IMHO.

I actually had a conversation with Thierry about something similar at the Guildford Audio Devialet show; I had mentioned to him that it would be quite nice to have different DAC filter presets perhaps accessible via the Devialet remote, a bit like MSB and dCS (and no doubt lots of others) offer. Actually my inspiration for this was the Metronome Nausicaa DAC which his two output stages: a SS one and a tube one which can be manually selected and this had got me wondering whether the Devialet could do something similar, albeit synthetically through its DSP. Most of the time you would choose SS but with some material the tube output would be most alluring.

My rationale I suppose was that given that the Devialet was SO transparent it could be rather ruthless with some less than stellar recordings, of which I have a few.

Anyway he wasn't terribly positive about this stating that it would go against the Devialet philosophy. Shame really.
