Good making up story

The fantasy is all yours.
Not that you care about facts but here is a post from one of their largest UK dealers in 2015.

Let me re-post this from Devialet Expert 140 Pro page (so the same product tested by Stereophile's John Atkinson):

Expert Pro is the world’s most advanced audiophile system, meant for music lovers in search of a refined and emotional listening experience. Designed to replace traditional Hi-Fi systems, Expert Pro delivers all the core elements of playback – preamp, amp, DAC, streamer, phono stage – in a single and ultra-compact unit. By rethinking sound reproduction at every turn, Devialet engineers have been able to achieve the best performance ever measured, at all power levels.

@Thomas savage What's your guess on this 3rd re-post - is it advertising or trolling?

It reminds me of the Admiral Rickover "say-do".

“I have an expression—the ‘Say-Do,’” the 82-year-old Rickover declared. “People say something and the newspapers laud them, before they’ve done a damn thing and then they never do it and then they go on to some other Say-Do thing, and they get more credit.”

You can't just repeat the same joke over and over , take a break and come back with fresh material.

I thought I was never gonna say this but seeing posts like this I'm actually starting to miss your pineapple jokes.

This is much correct, many faker on internet say bad things at truth tellers . Amira pays them to chase and say immortal things with millions made from review of lies.

Just wait and you will see many think this miss saying and I'm not good thinking .

 

[RigorDude]

Because someone sent it in and thats what he dose .

Not exactly. I've gathered that Amir picks and chooses from what is offered to him for review. In this case, it seems he was keen enough on reviewing a Devialet product to overlook the fact that this particular unit was far less than ideal as a review sample.

And Stereophile picked up another "less than an ideal" unit as a review sample, right? Oh wait, that one was sent by Devialet.

Is it really so hard for you guys to understand that if you put electronics into a bathroom scale housing it won't give you stellar performance, no matter how high price tag you attach to it?

By "you guys" you seem to be imputing these views to me. Wrongly, if so. Find someone else's mouth to put words into.

Well, it was you, among a bunch of other guys, who were implying Amir deliberately picked false sample to test, although Stereophile test showed the very same problems.

Have you not said so in your post above?

We can still try to apply some French humour: wordplays ("jeux de mots").
What nickname would be suitable? For TotalDAC I coined TotalARNAC (works only in French). For PS Audio: BS Audio, but there must have been many before me thinking of this.
Given the absolutely weird behavior of the presently tested product, I suggest:
Deviantlet.
(and that could also fit well with the overly luxury, decadent lifestyle of those billionaires who have been financially backing the Deviantlet company).

I accept 95% of what is offered to me for testing. What I reject is often due to someone wanting something tested right away, being some personal hobby project, etc.

And no, there was nothing overlooked here. Devialet has been touting the same design for years. So it was very much worthwhile to test it. We now have tons more insight about the product line than we did before testing it.

And that seems to be the main issue for some guys here.

This is how it goes when we test gear from brands with a certain type of following and they come up short .

Iv seen it time and time again , it will happen again I'm certain of that so it might be time to think about how we all deal with it , me included .

I know there's plenty of entertainment to be had and a good laugh too but maybe we can do a little better in how we react to some of it.

It is not wise to put your real picture in your avatar. Use some of the money you got to get a better outfit and change your alias to something that can't be traced to you....
