Thanks guys for the feedback. I also saw the Stereophile measurements which got me a bit confused.
Additionally, in his Zephyre Star MIMC review, Fremer wrote :
„Soundsmith recommends loading to 470 ohms or more to avoid high frequency roll-off. A Soundsmith spokesperson recommends closer to 1000 ohms, but this is a personal choice. However, once you get below 470ohms you’ll easily hear the top end roll off. You can try 47kOhms too but you’ll probably hear an undamped resonant peak.”
Hence my question to anyone who actually tested Zephyre MIMC (Zephyr MK3 has totally different requirements) with the Devialet phono stage.
Is 460 loading too low and 47k actually too high to get the optimal performance with Devialet?
