New amp being touted as among the best ever......


....possibly hyperbole but Hi-Fi News in the UK raving about the Diavlet D-Premier amplifer.

Apparently it has patented a new hybrid of Class A and Class D technology. It sounds very interesting, looks unique and would appear to be a must hear for those who are interested in high quality servers where apparently it excels-although I'd be interested to hear what it can do with any source.

Pretty expensive I believe at £12000 or approx $18000.

It looks very interesting and it's not every review you read where you really want to hear the thing.....

Here's their website, quite a lot of info on there if you browse about.

In no way is the D-Premiere a flash in the pan. I am curious who might have heard it and could be anything less than impressed. It is a performer in all areas in which it offers function. Additionally, I am not sure when or where anyone could have auditioned the Devialet given I was demonstrated, as you noted, in a limited fashion to the public and we were the first to receive and show it at Digital Ear. Again, I would think anyone curious or interested would highly benefit from a real and in person demonstration. That would put the nay-Sayers to rest. As always, I offer our showroom in case you are nearby. www.digitalear.com for more info.
Here is a massive thread on the Devialet:

This amp seems to be an enigma. Until I hear it or someone I trust who has heard it, I wonder about all the hoopla. I just bought the B.M.C. M1 monoblocks based on many trusted favorable comments about them.
OK, will someone who lives in SoCal PLEASE go over to Digital Ear and tell us what the bloody thing sounds like?
