I had one of the very first Premier and now after 2 upgrades it is still fine. But I hoped more significant improvements (like EQ filters and speaker correction) would be made to the configurator as promised so I lost my hopes that high end audio is continued at Devialet.
The main reason I was interested in the Premier originally was that it has an active digital crossover function. I am using analog out for low pass and a class D amp (semi DIY) and was finally contemplating to get another D250 for low frequency (only D250 allows that being digitally connected as any other expert can only use analog out and then any other amp could serve that function).
Devialet was initially quite superior to any other class D amps (I had some and some class A before I got the Premier) but now class D greatly improved like Hypex Nilai and Purifi 1ET7040SA or GaN based class D.
Active crossover and dual amps a far more significant than amplifier technology but there almost no decent implementations of that technology except it is standard now in active speakers. (I would not consider Devialet for active speakers at all).
