Download Tone Audio #35, another stellar review of the ground-breaking Devialet D-Premier digital integrated amplifier.
"...Revolutionary engineering combined with short signal paths and minimal need for external cables all adds up to incredible sound that will have very broad appeal. Cliche's aside, the D-Premier is more than the sum of its parts, in concept, performance, and value. if you take advantage of all the functions it offers, I don't know how you could possibly acquire an amplifier, preamplifier, DAC, phono preamplifier, and music streamer for the cost of the D-Premier. Of all the componets to which we have awarded our Exceptional Value Award, I can't think of one more deserving than the D-Premier."If the hype is true, I'm feeling that one day I may just sell all my equipments (transport, digital interconnects, analog interconnects, DACs, preamps, amplifiers, etc) and just use Computer as source, stream to the D-premier which in turn driving a pair of world-class speakers like the Wilson Audio Sophia/Sasha or Magico Q3/Q5. I do not have to review anything anymore. Hmm...that wouldn't be very fun, would it?
