It may be a price competitor (I don't know the price) but it contains none of the Devialet patented ADH circuitry and does not seem to have any equivalent of SAM possible, or configurable inputs and outputs.
So no!
I do use a pair of Nuforce mono amps in my bedroom system and like them, though they are nowhere near my Devialet in versatility.

It's nice to have a display on the front where you can actually see it though!

They confirmed yesterday that there will be a new remote (despite its removal from the website) with a display - and operable for both Expert and Phantom.
They didn't give a delivery time!

That's a good point. It's funny when I was first looking at Devialet reviews a few years ago I was convinced the display had an e-ink centre and I was rather disappointed to learn it didn't. I'm wondering if I did actually see an image of a mock-up before? It would be a good thing.

Comments on the NuPrime integrated.
It looks pretty cool, has DSD capability, and has a visible display. Power output seems to about the same as a d200. However, I still think the devialet is much more flexible with phono inputs and software upgrade capability. I have heard the previous Nuforce REF9SE (?) in my system when I was using the Rowland Model 10 and I thought the Rowland had a much better top end extension and a musical presentation. The Nuforce had really good bass but a bit clinical in its presentation. If the new Nuprime Integrated sounds similar to the older Nuforce designs, I think the devialet might be a much better product. Of course, I need to listen to it before drawing any conclusions. YMMV.
Edit: The review was pretty good. He didn't mention anything about HF extension. I presume there were no issues with HF. At the price ($2350 in the US), it should be a really good value and should sell well.
