    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    No comparison to the Devialet stuff! I would not replace this awesomeness http://www.cdk26.ru/sites/default/files/1_121.jpg with this http://img2.audio.de/Wadia-Intuition-01-r960x942-C-91c95c92-79812803.jpg It looks like the Wadia is just using off the shelf class D modules and, sure it has...

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    There is no plastic parts on the 170 unit itself at all. In fact the bottom plate of the 170 is a cast alloy, which is actually better than the metal plate of the D-Premier's bottom, don't know what the bottom of the 240 looks like. The only plastic part is at the bottom of the remote, the...

    Yes everything was the same in the dealers location, all we did was to swap out the units and plug everything back, so exact setup!

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    I needed the sub-out and the little bit extra flexibility of the input and out puts of the 170. The other main reason i went with the 170 are, if you look at the comparison on the Devialet website between the 3, you will notice the specs for the transformer, DSP, capacitors etc. are same for the...

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    Ok did some experimenting, it does behave quirky even standing not just on the floor, it is at certain places or angle or height, there is no fixed position. Its almost something blocks the signal depending on how where the position of the remote is relative to the 170. But if I turn or move it...

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    No I don't have to power cycle the 170 at all, its just that the remote wont work at certain places, if I move it even a couple of inches around it will work, its not even the distance from the 170, just certain positions. Its never loses complete connection. These certain positions are always...

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    Mine says 13/25 on both, but they both have a five digit no after that starting with zero. Both the 5 digit nos on the remote and 170 have the first 3 nos same but the last 2 nos are different. I doubt it would be only 25 units going by my 13/25 on mine as it has been launched a while back and...

    I will check the serial no, do you mean for the 170 or the serial no for the remote itself??

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    I wish I could but the dealer has not got any in. But he said he has sold 3 170 already, including mine. He seemed to think that the sound wont be different than the 170, it will be more for someone who absolutely needs the bi-amping capability or just have to have the top model. Sonically I...

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    I have some updates for everyone, as over the past few weeks I had a lot of complaints with the D-Premier and networking and I made a lot of changes to my including buying a new Apple Airport express and setting up a different network only for the D-Premier. This Network had very strong signal...

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    I have tried it with 6.08 and 6.09 same issue never had 6.06 firmware, maybe need to try that. All my sleep setting are disabled except monitor, monitor going to sleep should not cause any problem but I can give that too a shot. Maybe the latest firm wares .8 & .9 are the issues.

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    I have sent Thierry an email this morning, they need to fix this issue. I have also requested them to have a forum started, as there is no such option for a high end company such as Devialet and this is unacceptable in this day & age! Who knows if they will ever implement a forum, their website...

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    Very strange indeed that it should happen with the Ethernet. A couple of days ago it happened to me with my signal level at - 16 to -20 dBm playing 24/192 and normal files as well 16/44, also my music would suddenly stop playing for no reason after a while in spite of a strong signal. Today I...

    Has anyone heard the Devialet D-Premier Integrated Amp/DAC

    Thanks for the tips lets see what I can do, did not know the Devialet has no internal caching. It is playing 24/192, played one whole album and then dropped connection again. Will keep refining. I will say the new 240, 170 or an updated D-premier with Ethernet connected physically will be the...
