Is the Devialet not just an amp?

[Womaz]

I use mine as a DAC/phono/streamer/preamp/amplifier.
My main sources are a CD transport, digital out connected direct to the digital input of the Devialet. My MC cartridge is connected to the phono input of the amp via the step-up transformer I prefer.
I stream direct from my computer, I have connected it using AIR, AIR and ethernet, toslink and into the AES/EBU input using my digital recorder as a firewire > AES converter, because I have it, there are easier ways of doing this. All these worked brilliantly.
I messed about with UPnP with music on a remote NAS drive before I bought a Devialet and found it too clunky for my taste, so do not bother any more.

In conclusion the Devialet works brilliantly in its most simple form, but many on this forum have had fun and success tuning to their taste with extra add-ons and cables.
So it is up to you how complicated you want to make it!

The best systems I have heard with a Devialet D-Premier have been simple.

I wont have a turntable but you use it in a similar way to how I envisaged using it. Direct from PC not an option for me as prefer to keep work and entertainment separate.
Thanks for the reply, just the sort of info I was looking for.
