Best Integrated, period.

You don't even have to listen music to decide what amp sounds best, makes life much easier.

Tbg..No, I am not a dealer. Just an Audiophile for 35 years.
There is no way in hell I would buy a Magico speaker. I judge a product on longevity and word of mouth reputation over magazine hype that puts products ahead of the line based on annual advertising contracts. Simaudio has been around since 1980 and their separates I have heard over the years are very musical and rich sounding. As far as speaker's, there are three models out there today selling for under $10K that will perform as well as speakers costing up to $40K a pair. The Swans M6F at $3750.00 a pair. The new Polk LSIm 707 at $4K a pair, and the best under $10K speaker that Michael Kelly has made to date from Aerial Acoustics, the new 7T at $9850.00 a pair.

So Audiozen, if it is all about the S/N performance what do you think of the Devialet D-Premier? It cites a 130dB SNR and that my friend is without filters (unweighted).

What did you do Kiwi?..go fishing for numbers on anything out there?. The Devialet only weighs 14 lbs and is not a world class Analog integrated. It is a digital/analog hybrid with a class D modulator. Ho Hum..not in the same league as Simaudio. My focus is addressing an integrated that has the same low noise level's equal to the performance of the best separates. The Simaudio 700i weighs 54 lbs. and has power reserves that are not attainable in the Devialet. It is hard to find a high end analog integrated
that performs as well as the best separates. The Devialet is a great product for rich college kids in the U.K. since it comes with an Ipod docking station. ZZZzzzzzzz....

Kiwi_1282001, at the RMAF, I got my first listen to the Devialet. After a very few moments we left. It was nothing that I would want.
