The Dev is indeed excellent.
Having used the Pass now for two weeks, I’m going to use the Devialet only for the remaining of the lockdown and see.
So far, knowing the excellency of the Pass, it’s just a testimony of how good the Devialet is.
Btw @sfdude : are you using SAM for the Olympia?
Let me know your thoughts on the differences between the Pass driving them vs the Dev. I've always been fascinated with the big Pass amps and have heard nothing but great reviews on them.
I'm using 50% SAM on the Olympicas. I find that it fills out the sound in my room better (I have a largish room that is open in the back to the kitchen area).
So this is the Pass XA 30.5, not one of the big ones. Class A 30Watts into * Ohms and 60W into 4. Believe me it doesn't break a sweat.
The D Prem doesn't have SAM, so cannot experiment with that.
Maybe i should try the SF with the D1000 expert pro, just for fun.I will spend some time with it(just the SF and The DP) without the Pass this easter weekend.
