Devialet 200 DAC guidance

[Womaz]

So a different DAC may have less impact than it could have in a non Devialet set up.

True, the DAC in the Devialet is still part of the sound. Using line in will re-digitize the signal too. The AD-DA chain in the Devialet is quite neutral and transparent, but it will of course affect the sound. How much? You'll have to try it to find out..

I might not even bother now as I doubt I will hear that much of a differnce.
In my Headphone set up it is really improving things but that could be because my HP Amp has a relatively poor DAC. I can imagine the Devialet DAC is good as the amp itself sounds excellent to me. Thanks for your input.
