True, but they made the TACT Millenium and as far as I can tell it hasn't been supplanted.
Ok, It took me lot of time to read mostly of your posts here.
A simple question: I have a Devialet D Premier, do I have to throw it in the garbage or can I keep it in my system?
I am listening it now, it seems to me is doing is job quite well...
Just joking.This unit (the one tested) is continuing to do it's job quite well too. Who would suggest you throw yours away?

Cannot explain that, considering what the meauserements took to the light.
It suits me perfectly though the thing I like best is the rotary volume control on the remote.
But my was not a rhetorical question. I was really wondering how is possible that an amplifier with some of the worst measures ever tested could sound great to my ears. Unless the point is that i own a different model or the one that was tested, had issues.Nothing there suggests it wouldn't sound great, unless I missed something.

Or maybe measurements cannot be a definitive parameter to choose an ampli or a speaker, and maybe even a dac.

Why would you particularly conflate measurements with audibility? Some people love a bit more distortion, tho..
I didn't even look (assumed that was an issue if measurement based) but that looks just fine, many revered audiophile approved gear doesn't do that well.....I think I'm missing something.

Where is all the horrible distortion?
The unit failed during testing, that doesn't mean it doesn't sound great.

More from what I see in other fora/groups is that people do definitely rank/assume audibility differences based on SINAD.....Indeed. It doesn't make it into the rankings because of the failure, but the numbers put it in pretty decent company.
I certainly do, but I made it my mission to decide at what level of SINAD an item would be audibly transparent to me personally.More from what I see in other fora/groups is that people do definitely rank/assume audibility differences based on SINAD.....
Because there is hardly any energy at 20kHz you wont run into the power issues. That said, you'd expect a product at this price point to live up to its specifications and have proper output across the frequency range.But my was not a rhetorical question.

You are that Frank Dernie? If yes, OMGo use the terminology of a veteran Formula 1 engineer.
AFAIK I am the only Frank Dernie.You are that Frank Dernie? If yes, OMG
You are more then a myth!
Such a pleasure to meet you here.AFAIK I am the only Frank Dernie.
When I travelled the world for work I used to check hotel phone directories for local Dernies and never found any I didn't know of.
