| Pass Labs or Devialet I had used Pass Labs Amplifiers with Wilson Audio Speakers for many years, before moving to a Devialet 200, 400 and now 440. I stream music directly from my Router to the 440 and control all functions of the music and amplifiers via smart-phone or... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load As per bel canto - their Black Integrated ACI 600's output is stable into a 2 ohm minimum load.As per Devialet - their Expert Pro Dual 1000's and 440's output are both stable into a 1 ohm minimum load.I recently shopped / compared all 3 and found ... | |
| Ultimate Integrated amps I'm happy with my recent purchase, a Devialet Expert 440 ($19K), that I found to be very competitive with the other "Ultimate Integrateds". | |
| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ I upgraded from the Sophia 1 to the Sasha 2 (passed on the Alexia 1); this was an appreciable across-the-board sonic improvement + easier to drive, while maintaining a similar footprint / height, at a reasonable cost - no diminishing returns here,... | |
| Looking for THE amp to anchor my system, Krell, Plinius or maybe a D I replaced my Krell Evolution 2250e with a Devialet Expert 200; in my system (WA Sasha 2 / Transparent Reference / Sony HAP-Z1ES / Large Room), the Devialet was a clear notch above the Krell; both were in my system at the same time and the sonic i... | |

| Devialet Expert Long Term Experience? I've been using Devialet for a while now (Expert 400 & Expert 200), coming off of Pass, Krell, Mark Levinson, ARC, BAT & McIntosh and have found it to be easy-to-use, very reliable and "sonically competitive" with Preamp. / Amp. / DAC comb... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I'm using Devialet (Class A/D Hybrid) after many years of Krell, Pass Labs, BAT, Mark Levinson and McIntosh ownership, and I have no plans to go back to using legacy (Class A/B) amplifiers. The size, weight, efficiency, aesthetics and sound of the... | |
| Decisions, Decisions.... Mcintosh, Devialet and B&W Advice Needed Why not go back to the Devialet 400, or move up to the 800? I preferred the Devialet 200 when compared to the McIntosh C52 / MC452 combo., on Wilson Audio Speakers. The TI PCM1792 DAC inside the Devialet is excellent. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8: is it enough for Wilson Sasha 2? Pass Labs had recommended the X-250.8 (or INT-250) for my Wilson Audio Sasha 2 Speakers, set-up in a 26' x 20' x 10' (H) Room. I had an X-250.5 for my Sophia 1 Speakers, set-up in the same Room, and it sounded perfect, while the less-powerful INT-... | |

| Devialet Premier Original with Wilson Sophia 2 - Anyone Head this combo? I've owned 2 pairs of Sophias and Devialet --- I would recommend going with a newer Devialet Model that has "SAM" DSP for Wilson Audio Sophia Speakers. | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today Sony helped me rollback my firmware to the previous version, until the new firmware is revised. My HAP-Z1ES is back online and once again working like a dream. | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today I'm having the same problem (USB Digital Output not working / Analog Output works fine) due to the 2/28/2017 Firmware Update. I opened a Trouble Ticket with Sony - Japan, I'll follow-up with them next week and post the results. | |
| What ever happened to Krell ? I agree with john1's comments; I was a long-time Krell Customer having owned more than a dozen of their components over the years, but no more for all of the reasons stated above. |
