As computer audiophiles we love to obsess about 'bit perfectness' ('bit perfection'?), in other words whether or not the integrity of the audio samples being properly preserved in the digital domain. This is particularly relevant when ripping CDs, since a data error that makes its way into the ripped file will remain there forever. However, given that on an audio CD each 16-bit word (some simplification here) encodes one sample representing only 1/44100th of a second of audio it is legitimate to ask whether these errors are generally audible at all.

I keep waiting for the grainy video of KBK reading something badly scripted.

Are you sitting down?....

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.

Would any owners of this table, past or present, care to comment on it? I'm considering buying one and would appreciate any thoughts/opinions good, bad, ugly, or indifferent about it.

Thanks, Sam
