As to the other technical benefits of Purifi compared with Devialet, I'm not sure. My point is this: are we simply talking about technical performance or SQ? It's proven that some companies are really good at improving the technical performance envelope. The real key for me is whether they are also improving SQ. Thoughts? My thought is that the principals of this company don't have a history of putting out products that don't perform. If Bruno says these are better than NCore, they probably are. The question then becomes one of price vs. performance. Ncores are available for DIY and also have numerous brands marketing them in amps at all levels of the boards in the line and levels of cosmetics fit/finish. You can get some fantastic affordable NCore amps that are very good values in the audiophile world. But it took a two or three years for this to happen for those that don't want to DIY. We will see what happens with these.
