My experience after lost of 20k$

Best of these integrated amps...
Audiophile people have difficulty with Devialet because it cannot be judged by their normal criteria. This became clear to me after meeting their Chief Engineer. Firstly, it started with a bored telecoms engineer designing the perfect amplifier (o...

I've been using Qobuz for about 5 years, and Qobuz Sublime+ since it started about 2 years ago. It does not look to compete with Spotify or Tidal. Why would you try and compete with companies that burn money and make huge losses? It has been class...
