Talk of drilling the cases has me a bit worried as I recalled something that I read in Paul Miller's review of the D-Premiere in HiFi News April 2010.
I quote from that review.....
"As we will discover, the D-Premiere operates at very high frequencies and power - only by sealing these electronics in a gap-free and near enough air-free enclosure can Devialet guarantee the freedom from emissions and interference required for CE compliance and sale in the EU."
One point to note is that the D-Premier, as well as the 240 and 250 that derived from this model, has a very different case to the 200. In fact, the case is the key difference between the current 200 & 250 models. The 250's case is designed to provide very efficient transient cooling, however, the case is expensive to make. The 200 has a cheaper to make case but identical electronics to the 200. Although the power supply / ADH is configured differently in the 200 to compensate for the difference in the cooling characteristics of the case.
