jjss49- the description of the sound on that Devialet came from a professional reviewer, and there’s more similar. I’ve found none that say that about the M 33, in fact a couple I read said the same as I did, best one box solution on the market. Stereophile product of the year for amplification 2020, I’ve not read one negative review regarding its sound or feature set. YOU may not of liked it’s uncolored, powerful (2 ohm stable) and distortion free sound, but many more do. Even to my old ears it sounds great, but I certainly trust the pro’s way more. You’re certainly entitled to your opinion of the sound using your own pre-amp, but the “frills” (most call them features) are absolutely to be considered, as I was talking one box solution. One reviewer called it “revolutionary,” another, “game-changer.” But hey, what do they know, they’re just “shills,” right…
