Devialet Expert 220 Pro Audiophile Integrated Stereo Amplifier

The Devialet Expert 220 Pro is a minimalist audiophile's dream.This sleek, low-profile amplifier generates an impressive 220 watts per channel, so you can play loud and sublimely accurate sound from your favourite tracks. Proprietary technology, clever amplifier design, and flexible user interface software make it a unique centerpiece for a top-notch two-channel Hi-Fi setup.

Hybrid amplifier technology

ADH® combines Class A and Class D amplification technology for distortion-free performance at all power levels. Signal passes through a Class A voltage amplifier to reduce distortion, then on to a Class D current amplifier designed for high gain. Devialet's engineers also made sure that heat dissipates quickly, so that you can listen louder and for longer. 

A score of leading-edge technologies

ADH® hybrid amplification delivering the musicality of analogue and the power of digital, SAM® real-time speaker active matching, on-the-fly phono stage configuration with RAM®, Magic Wire® DAC to eliminate thermal distortion, free and regular upgrades through the EVO® platform…
