Datzeel vs Asr Emitter exclusive vs Devialet

You can't list the Devialet with either of them.

The Devialet is designed to be used with a digital signal directly to gain its full benefit of their technology.

The ASR and Dartzeel both require a digital source and a set of interconnects.

So when you think of the Devialet it is really a complete system minus the speakers.

So if you are thinking of comparing all of these pieces you need to consider the cost and complexity of the additional front end components.

Soon Devialet will allow for complete streaming into their amp, I haven't heard all three, I have heard the ASR and the Dartzeel, I am waiting myself to hear the Devialet.

Hi Audiofg is correct--I too have heard the ASR and Dartzeel --seen the Dev at last 2 CES shows but the thing is never going??

I'd vote for the Dartzeel.

Thank you Audiofreakgeek and Team212 for your advice. I listened to ASR Emitter 2 version blue this afternoon It was very special.

Ultimately I will have to listen to Darzeel and Devialet to conclude my decision. I prefer Anologue as a front end and wonder if the Devialet, being a digital amp and DartZeel CTH-8550 with its firmware updates may lean more towards pleasing people with digital products in mind? I dont understand how digital amps work but can only imagine that a digital signal be it from a front end or a Digital amplifier would only be a replicated Anologue signal to the nearest square or zero or one?

I would be grateful if someone could educate me with my very limited knowledge.
