New amp being touted as among the best ever......

....possibly hyperbole but Hi-Fi News in the UK raving about the Diavlet D-Premier amplifer.

Apparently it has patented a new hybrid of Class A and Class D technology. It sounds very interesting, looks unique and would appear to be a must hear for those who are interested in high quality servers where apparently it excels-although I'd be interested to hear what it can do with any source.

Pretty expensive I believe at £12000 or approx $18000.

It looks very interesting and it's not every review you read where you really want to hear the thing.....

Here's their website, quite a lot of info on there if you browse about.

You're right Ben.

Thanks to Almarg. Without him this thread would be a complete wasteland.

Now it wouldn't have been a wasteland-more a landscape of bathroom scales......................

As pointed out already the link didn't exist when I posted though to be frank I doubt that would have helped the standard of reply.

Let's see what others say when the amps reviewed maybe he reviewers will have more open minds eh?

I read the review as a technical endorsement of a new technology and more importantly, a rave review of high-resolution discs / files. The reviewer states that the amp's sonic performance is nothing to write home about when playing regular PCM CDs, which unfortunately rules it out for me.

Casouza where does the reviewer say that? I think he was suggesting you don't get the best if you use the analogue inputs-I think he says it sounds very good with CD/PCM-it is there in the review.

I heard this at the weekend and thought it was an extremely good amplifier - close to remarkable. I was auditioning it with Magico V3 and was very impressed and moved by the music.
