It would be good to know how it sounds with the Devialet (obviously!) and what you think of the control software (reliability, usability, etc.). Both very subjective points, I know...thumb5, I would be glad to provide feedback, though some might say (my wife) that my 63-year-old ears are not the most reliable of instruments. I suppose you also know that Bluesound can't do DSD if that is important to you. Regarding the app, it gets high marks. Well, I shall review my experience in early January when I get back to France.
Devialet Expert 220 Pro Kinki EX-M7 power amp tethered to a fiber-fed Lumin X1 streamer via Grimm XLRs, Vivid B1 Decade speakers in Rosso Barchetta red (only 200 produced in a limited edition), Roon Nucleus with a Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SSD, etherREGEN switch fed by a Sonore opticalModule (and Sonore-supplied transceivers and 1M optical cable) with a SOtM dCBL-Cat7 cable to my Nucleus and a DH Labs Reunion Cat8 to my Lumin T2 streamer, Keces P8 linear power supply feeding a (to come) NUC and EtherREGEN switch with an external AfterDark OCXO clock., and opticalModule (5V/1A), AudioQuest Niagara 1000 power conditioner, ASI LiveLine loom (purchased directly from Franck Tchang when I lived in France), Less Loss Firewall for Speakers and Roon lifetime license with Tidal streaming.
