Thanks you Dan! I love my D400 :bananasplit::cryforjoy:
 
Finally read this review- puzzled why 2 of them made the midrange and treble much smoother/correct- crosstalk perhaps?

His thoughts on the treble is exactly what I heard wrong on the D-Premier (and some other class D like the Molas- strings sound wiry and thin), but I look forward to hearing this new improved iteration at the Show in Newport come May and hope they run the 400.
 
Keith,

Once broken in, the 400 is amazing. NO fatigue. Wonderful, sweet music.
 
His findings regarding the move from 200 to 400 mirror mine. I posted very similar thoughts when I upgraded. Oddly the 400 version is more liquid AND more transparent. Sure I would expect more bass authority (which you also get), but I did not expect these other improvements.

Mine as well. My 400 has been running non-stop for over two weeks and I'm in awe of its huge soundstage, purity of sound, 3D soundstaging, iron grip on the Scala V2's (which I'm loving - more on those later) and imaging. IMHO, the D400 is a game changer. And I've said it since day one when I first tried a D-Premier, the Phonostage is incredible. As good as any $10k standalone Phonostage I've tried. Yes, the thought of ADA'ing my vinyl gives me the willys, but man, there is no denying the end result.

Are you using 96 or 192 sample rate with the phonostage? Did you try both and if so did you notice a difference between the two?

thanks.

I'm using the default, but I did adjust it for my cart. LOVE the laser like precision adjustability for your cart, right down to matching the mV of the cart! I think default is 96. I will play with it a little more and confirm.
