Engage Your Senses and Save Space, Costs, and Hassle with the Devialet Expert 140 Pro Integrated Amplifier: Features MM/MC Phonostage, DAC, and Streaming Capability, Plays with Dynamic, Crisp, Clean Sound

Enjoy premium sound, streamline your system, save space, and pocket extra money you would’ve spent on more cables and separates with the Devialet Expert 140 Pro integrated amplifier. Bolstered by Analog Digital Hybrid (ADH) amplification topology that matches a Class A front end/driver stage in parallel with a Class D output stage, this sleek unit outputs 140Wpc into six ohms and offers DAC, preamplification, MM/MC phonostage, and streaming capability.

Most importantly, Expert 140 Pro plays with natural precision, big dynamics, faithful timbre, and dead-quiet silence in operation. It is at once crisp, clean, non-fatiguing, and highly linear. And it basically interfaces with whatever analog or digital source you want to hear.

The result of a decade of research and development and 160 patents by the Devialet team, the 1.57 x 15.1 x 15.1-inch (HWD) Expert 140 Pro backs up its talk via outrageously good specifications that include a 130dB signal-to-noise ratio and THD rating of 0.0005% at full power. If you remove the bottom cover from the solid aluminum chassis, the gorgeous circuit boards you'll see provide hints of how and why this device performs so well. Factor in the trademarked Core Infinity and Devialet OS operating system, and Expert 140 Pro essentially turns into your music concierge by way of streaming protocols that extend to Roon with Devialet AIR, UPnP renderers, on-board AirPlay, Spotify Connect, and more.

Able to support up to DSD64 and 32-bit/192kHz PCM, the 12.45-pound Expert 140 Pro doubles as a versatile whiz. Coaxial, optical, USB, AES/EBU, phono, analog line, Ethernet, and dual band Wi-Fi inputs complement RS-232 and trigger connections. Five-way speaker binding posts and an SD card slot round out the super-slim back panel.

In addition to Roon-ready certification, Expert Pro 140 makes your life even easier with SAM real-time speaker active matching technology. It precisely matches the audio output to the specifications of your speakers, preserving their acoustic signature in real time and ensuring extra-fine adaptation of the sound signal and perfect time alignment between the recorded signal and the sound pressure generated by the drivers. On-the-fly phonostage configuration with RAM, updates through the Devialet EVO platform, and the ability to daisy-chain up to eight Expert Pro 140s add to the immense level of flexibility for present and future needs.

More style and functionality arrive in the form of the supplied remote. Large and square in shape, it features a big dial, four buttons, smooth responsiveness, and, yes, even the ability to play with tone controls. TONEAudio calls it "the most sensory-engaging remote control experience in the world of high-end audio."

Indeed, "sensory engaging" might best summarize the extraordinary Expert 140 Pro. If you want to know more, just reach out at 312-433-0200 and we'll happily answer any questions you have.

"The Devialet Expert Pro 140 is truly without flaw in our opinion. If you love music, high quality sound reproduction and don’t want a massive rack full of gear to stare at, there’s no better choice. If you can believe it, the Expert Pro 140 sounds even better than it looks, is incredibly easy to set up and operate, and is virtually future proof."
—Jeff Dorgay, TONEAudio, Exceptional Value Award

"It sounds immaculate—in the top tier of amplifiers I've heard. It's dynamic. [SAM] is a fascinating technology, a new parameter to play with, and it can genuinely improve the sound."
—Jim Austin, Stereophile
