I notice that there is a bit of a mistake in the Soundrebels review. It states: (via Google translate)
That is, we have a musicality of A-class assisted by performance and high efficiency class D with a damping factor of a staggering 8000. To be more interesting power we can independently control in the range of 30-440W, so the closer we get to the minimum, the smaller the class D share will be needed.
This is not correct. The percentage of class A versus class D is a constant with ADH. The review then details the sound quality difference resulting from different "power slider" levels. This was something that was discussed at a Devialet event a while ago. According to Mathieu Pernot, the power level setting makes zero difference to sound quality, although it does limit the ultimate power output of the amplifier. So it is there if you want to limit maximum power output if you want to use the amp with speakers with a low power capability.
Maybe it is a quirk of Google translate, but I find the Soundrebels reviews very hard to follow. (Do we have any native Polish speakers on the forum that could give a view on the "native" text?)
Also, the Soundrebel's website appears to be very heavily biased towards providing advertising for a while range of hifi products, but Devialet does not appear to be amongst them. Make of that what you will.
In summary, I read this kind of stuff, have a momentary internal sigh, them move on to something more interesting.
