Datzeel vs Asr Emitter exclusive vs 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.

The Deviilet is now available in the USA, before now there was no US distributor.

I think the ASR is very good, and somewhat more reasonable priced than the Dart stuff which is very expensive for what you are getting.

I am going to get a demo of the Devialet, according to Six Moons and everyone who has seen the design and heard it, the Devialet is a breakthrough product, using a radically different design concept more like a reinventing of the Quad amplifiers of the sixties with modern digital technology.

The proof will be in the listening. Where do you live if you are in my area, NJ I would invite you over if I get a demo.

Thank you for your kind invitation I assume you live in New Jersey.I live in in London England it may a little to far this time.What is your current system ? and whitch speakers are you intending to demo the Devialet with?

We have had the Devialet for about 10 days now and it is unanimous , a true winner. This type of leap forward in absolute performance coupled with utility has not existed prior to Devialet. We have run it of challenging speakers such as CLX's, a show-stopper, Focal Stella Utopia EM's, and even Burmester B30's/B100's. We fed it HRx files directly from the PS Audio transport and it handled it beautifully. Dynamics, speed, presence, and spatial correctness were are top notch. I can tell you that all of us at Digital Ear are in love with the Devislet D-Premiere. Additionally, we have thrown a bit of testing at it to configure the additional outputs for subs and the result was successful and performance was in line with the rest of the product, absolutely top-tier.
Needless to say, we have it on display are ready to show off to anyone. Please call, email, or drop by anytime. www.digitalear.com
