My thoughts on Devialet

[Greg]

Prepare to be attacked by the cult, your hiss must be your fault.

You don't know how to setup the Devialet.

You might not have hiss, but you don't have the golden flat toast that is Devialet.

I promise you that's all the comments you will get here.

Rubbish! The Devialet phono hiss is well documented here and when presented to Devialet’s Mathieu Pernot, his unsatisfactory response was that the noise was within an acceptable Level. That is nonsence as those affected have had to deal with it either with step up transformers or with dedicated phono stages which defeats the one box arguement for a Devialet amp. 

For me, with a streamed input or line level input, my D250 C/I continues to perform admirably. I love the sound. It’s just frustrating that things that should be fixed and have been told to Devialet have not been addressed for a long time. In this respect, they are totally negligent.
