Indeed, if sticking $10,000 bills to my DAC makes it sound better, I'll continue to do it.
@soekris might be referring to this product.
Not entirely true.
If this DAC is going into a Devialet then it's pointless as it already has a great DAC implementation, and any analogue input goes through an ADC. If the only requirement is expensive bling then buy with your eyes. Are there no shiny French turntables for more visual interest?
@Thomas savage ... Just a bit out of topic ...
We're setting up in my company a lounge room where we receive our customers, of whom many are from China. They love the French' design and technology, so we make them happy on that by filling the lounge with French items, from champagne to beer via Focal speakers & Devialet electronics ...
That's the reason for which I was (and still) looking for a French made D/A converter, with a background of reputation and technical content consistent with the rest of the lounge set up. But I have a budget to meet, in the low end as we cannot display a cheapy item with a fancy French name and a black Made in China back label, as well as in the high end.
@FredYves Pls. PM me with any suggestion, it would be highly appreciated !
It is really sad how many people are fooled in the audio world. I have been to this years biggest audio show in Munich, the "High-End". Atleast 50% of the shown stuff were special cables and other questionable stuff. The people there actually loved it

You seem to be right. My mistake.
Let’s try to do better :
(except 5/ that was there only for the sake of the joke).Direct sale in Europe. Including the marvelous d150 trumpets. It seems that their new hybrid amp is tremendous. Perhaps they Would stop selling the Absolare amp now.
