I have used the Devialet for 4 years. Neutral sound, very versatile. Also looks good. You can easily configure to your setup. It is upgradeable, I have had mine upgraded a couple of times. I have used it with B&W804D speakers. I recently upgraded my speakers to Avangarde DuoXD. I was concerned over the match with the Devialet, and thought I might need to upgrade but I test drove it extensively at the dealers and we were pleased with how they worked together. As a one-box solution it is great and I am very happy with it as such. I am however thinking of moving to a stand-alone DAC. In the case the Devialet is not ideal - it converts all incoming analog signals to digital via an ADC, and then converts back to analog via its own DAC before sending to the amp - so I would lose whatever I gained via the external DAC. |
You can add the NAD M10 as well into the mix. John Darko has a video review of it and it goes for under $3K. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrNba10k3XQ All the best, Nonoise |
