In Reply to: 12 most significant amps of all time posted by TubeDriver on April 12, 2019 at 07:47:43:
How the list does not include the Devialet amp is a rather large oversight. When a company enters the market with such an generational change in technology that truly provides significant improvement over just about any other product ever made, it should be recognized as a major game changer.The Devialet approach has continued to evolve to the point where it can act as a complete system that can handle any input type, and will sound better than the vast majority of gear available. It also minimizes the need to have high dollar cables as well.
When one considers the cost of phono, preamp, power amp, streamer, etc, the Devialet actually is pretty cost effective by high end audiophile standards.
It's the only design that employs a Class D output that does not generate ultrasonic output noise that has to be filtered. The voltage output is Class A, while the current is Class D.
Devialet has made significant improvements since the original D-Premier, including Speaker Active Matching (SAM).
In summary, this should have made the list.
