There is also a unique class of amplifier (Class ADH Intelligence). This topology uses a Class A voltage out, whilst the current supply is Class D. This combines the best of both topologies, has among the best specifications in the industry. Because of the unique topology, the Devialet does not employ (need) the output filtering all other Class D amps require.133DB*
SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO IN DUAL MONO0.00025%*
HARMONIC DISTORTION IN DUAL MONO (THD)UNDETECTABLE
THERMAL DISTORTIONThe sound from this topology is among the very best I have ever heard, regardless of price. The fact that there are over 1100 speakers that are supported by specialized DSP called Speaker Active Matching makes it even better.
