If features and versatility alone determined the winner, nothing could stand in the way of the Devialet Astra. The amplifier not only includes a comprehensive streamer, DAC, and phono preamp, but also offers exceptional flexibility thanks to its Speaker Active Matching (SAM), which provides tailored correction for virtually every loudspeaker in existence, and its software-based Record Active Matching (RAM) phono equalization. In addition to online configuration, settings can also be adjusted through the Devialet app.
