What devialet should do next...
#1
...according to me. Rolleyes

Car audio would be a perfect fit. I'm not talking about after market car audio. I'm talking about getting in with the auto makers and having a devialet system as a factory option in a luxury car brand. If I was an exec at devialet that's what I'd be tackling at this point. Obviously huge money opportunity in this and IMO the devialet products could really bring car audio to a new level by using DSP custom matched to the vehicles.

Home audio manufacturers have been partnering with the luxury brands for years. Mark levinson in Lexus, B&O in Audi, Burmester in Mercedes, and who can forget the ubiquitous Bose systems. But I personally think there's still plenty of room for improvement in this area. I just purchased a new Mercedes c400 with the Burmester system and while it's quite good it's no devialet.

Not a bad idea but what about this; They have made the ADH chip small enough to fit inside a Personal Music Player. They have developed Spark which works on a tablet so it's only a matter of putting the two together, throw in a battery and some memory and you have a PMP of the highest order. Astell & Kern and Pono move over!

I second this Smile

Especially now they are trying to appeal to a bigger consumer base. Could be a real threat for A&K, HiFiMan, Fiio and the likes

The configuration ghost will still be there I guess...

Could be possible but don't forget the miniaturization of the ADH amplification has "only" grouped both the “Magic Wire” (=DAC and I/V conversion) and the Class A circuitries into a single component, the class D part of the solution is still external.

The question is then, do you need class D to run a pair of headphones or could you just run it on 1 ADH chip? You only need about 1 Watt or so don't you?
