The Expert 440 Pro combines two Expert 220 Pro units and offers up to 16physical inputs and 440W of power per channel, for a Dual-Mono set-upwithout any compromise.

Expert Pro is an advanced audiophile system, meant for music lovers in search of a refined and emotional listening experience. Designed to replace traditional Hi-Fi systems, Expert Pro delivers all the core elements of playback – preamp, amp, DAC, streamer, phono stage – in a single and ultra-compact unit. By rethinking sound reproduction at every turn, Devialet engineers have been able to achieve the best performance ever measured, at all power levels. With a precise and natural attack, explosive dynamics, naked silence and beautifully true timbre, the experience is breath-taking.

Every Expert 440 Pro input is configurable, meaning an unlimited amount of settings at your disposal, whether they be analogue inputs, digital inputs or outputs of either kind, the Expert 440 Pro adapts to your needs.

The built-in EVO card enables free, regular updates of the internal software that offer you the ability to improve the performance of your Devialet or to take advantage of new features in just a few clicks.

The 440 Pro comes with the latest Core Infinity firmware, which allows you to stream from the Devialet in a number of ways whether it be by Airplay, UPnP or via Roon. This means you are able to stream with ease from services like iTunes, Spotify, Tidal and Qobuz.

Like all Expert devices, the 440 Pro is fully controlled by software that allows you to configure it via their online configuration tool. Customise each of your inputs according to the sound source to achieve the best possible results.

Devialet Expert 440 Pro is a dual-mono amplifier powered by two 440W channels at 6Ω. With half the distortion of stereo, this configuration gives an enhanced power supply to each channel alongside many connectors so even with demanding acoustic structures, the audio will be flawless.

Unmatched performance
Devialet’s innovations reinvent each step of the acoustic signal path for unprecedented levels of performance. The perfect audiophile playback that is completely transparent offers a rare sensational experience. HD audio can be streamed (wired or wireless) via AIR, DAC Magic Wire or RAM Phono stage. Free, regular updates are available using the EVO platform.

Audiophile Grade Sound
Expert Pro is the flaghship system for audiophiles who demand nothing less than the highest quality available. The Devialet exceeds the performance of an ordinary amplifier by reinventing the combination of audio components for audiophile quality reproduction (i.e. the pre-amplifier, amplifier, DAC, streamer, and phono stage) in a single and extremely thin slab. The Expert Pro has the ability to be configured in thousands of ways to ensure that the audio output signal is as the original artist intended irrespective of the source or speakers.

Audiophile Technologies
The Expert Pro systems incorporate all of Devialet’s audiophile technologies, which are protected by 107 patents and hold 58 awards. In addition to these Devialet-exclusive technologies, Expert Pro benefits from many major innovations developed for this new line including ADH (analogue-digital hybrid amplification) Intelligence, Magic Wire DAC, Class A and Class D Amplifier, new power supply and Thermal Management.

Speaker Active Matching
With SAM technology, the Expert Pro system has perfect knowledge of how your speakers behave from the displacement and driver excursion to acceleration and speed. The results of SAM technology means that your speakers will be driven at peak performance levels whilst being perfectly protected. Since as each different speaker model has a different frequency and phase response, the Expert Pro can accounts for these differences and consequently alters the output signal as a function of the architecture of the individual speaker.
