The Goldmund preamp and monos which I replaced by my dual D-Premiers are no longer made but the latest version of the preamp, which has a separate power supply and balanced connections (which are now in fashion but Goldmund consider are worse due to extra complexity) and the equivalent monoblocs list at just over €200,000. If one includes DAC and phono stage add at least another €50,000. I would not say that the Devialet was "much better" but it is certainly notably quieter and sounded very similar, which no other amp I have tried ever has.
FWIW
I still think the Devialets are bargains.
