One 200 and one 250 can oversample to 192khz. And a system with two of those units multiply the oversampling by two (192x2= 384khz).


I hope that answers your questions,

This is interesting.  I always thought that the dual mono sounded like it had a slightly better DAC performance, sounding “higher definition” or more resolved.  I discussed this once with Devialet’s Thierry at a dealer event.  He said the DAC performance is identical but the dual mono reduces distortion by a factor of 2.  Maybe there is actually a technical reason why I think you get this higher definition sound?  Maybe I am imagining it?  I guess it doesn’t really matter if you’re happy with the end result sound quality wise.

I'm thinking, maybe it was added in a firmware update and thus why it says one thing on the 400/800 website pages and another in the overall feature PDF.
