Is the Devialet Expert now valueless?

[DelaneyB]

Resale of Devialet Expert/Expert Pro has always been an issue. The non pro market is rather limited these days. I understand your frustration.

Have you considered just upgrading to the Expert Pro? I updated my D-Premier last year, and was very happy with the results. Was able to find a second 250 Pro for very short money, which allowed a reconfiguration to a 1000 Pro. FWIW, the 250 Pro is a significant improvement over the 250. IMHO, the 1000 Pro still beats the vast majority of newcomers to the market.

Best of luck with whatever you decide.

Thanks for the kind comments. I found a buyer in the end, just a bit less than I had planned originally.
Fundamentally I didn't want to put serious money into such a depreciating asset when I could get want I wanted with Naim (ex-dem) and not feel I'd be stung again if I wanted to upgrade.
My new 222/250 New classic system sounds similarly 'tight and clean' to the Devialet 250 but it has a much deeper soundstage and spacing for the musicians. the 250 in comparison sounds very 2-dimensional. Just need to save for the Power supply... LOL.
