New French company setting modern performance/standard for amps

Not sure how many of you read hi-finews, but Paul Miller has been left pretty astonished by a new player to the market; Devialet.

Basically its a Class D-all digital input (supports direct Studio Master quality 192kHz/24bit digital audio) and class A amp coupled to the speakers.
Seems that the Class D manages the current while the Class A defines the full voltage swing.
In his words the idea is similar to the Quad's "feedforward".

Anyway 1st time I have seen Paul write a review that he comes across as astonished with the design and performance in good terms.

Axpona Approaches

<A HREF="http://www.axpona.com">Axpona</A&gt;, the Audio Expo of North America, is geared up for its premiere next Friday in Jacksonville, Florida. The new Show runs March 5&#150;7 at the 350-room Wyndham Riverwalk Hotel, which overlooks the St. Johns River and is just 15 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean. Sponsored by <I>Stereophile</I>, which will blog live from the show, Axpona is already looking like a winner. Impressive figures for advance Internet registration (discounted through March 1) indicate that Axpona might meet or even surpass attendance at last year's Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, in Denver.
