Devialet

I do think the Devialet has some sort of synergy as an all-in-one unit. Breaking the chain might not sound as good.

Here is another review from Soundstage.com: Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amplifier-DAC

It received their Reviewer's Choice award.

Very cool. I haven't read this one yet. Thanks.

My local dealer was in the process of hooking one up when I was there last week. I did not stick around to hear the unit but I can tell you in is not going to be easy to keep it finger-print free.

Good to have you back Jim

Checked out their site...I'm impressed with their marketing approach.

...gave up on audio shows a long time ago...but this product would tempt me to check one out if it was on active display.

Btw,this is a 4-part mini series on the Devialet. I wish I understand what they are talking about.

I just recently heard this and it was very nice. It has a very silky synthetic sound to it. Very hifi sounding but very good. I came away with the impression that this is where home audio is headed. It reminded me of the first time i seen a Pioneer plasma tv. That was in the 90's and the cost was 25k on it. Now the same tv is under a grand. It makes me wonder if the cost of this technology might go down. We might be seeing the same caliber for 5k in the not so distant future....hopefully because it was slick sounding.

I don't think this company has it sites set on the Big Box market for its product(s). I am sure it sounds great and there is no doubt it hits all the styling buttons for many of us. My concern is that $16k for an integrated/all-in-one is a tough market.

Yah i know thats my problem with it. If you have a chance check it out, it will get you thinking about where home audio is headed.
