200 on its Way.

[ozthepoz]

 Well, I finally pulled the plug and ordered a D 200 (or is that Le 200?). I should have it in about a week. Two things pushed me over the edge (despite qualms concerning some Devialet software development issues):

1. DSD! Even if it is only DSD 64. I assume that DSD 128 will eventually make it. Since I only have about a dozen DSD 128 (of ~ 1000) albums, this is a minor issue.
   
2. The strong USD and the lowed Euro price allowed me to pay the USD equivalent to the new Euro price.
   

So I am now in the process of rereading many of the early posts and will probably have a few questions. Such as:

• Why is the IOS/Android so limited? I know it mirrors the HW remote but... Duh!
  
• What good is the Ethernet connection, if I don't plan to use AIR2?
  

I am thankful that this thread exists so that I have a good knowledge as to what to expect (BESIDES GREAT SOUND).

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Bob

Looking forward to hearing your opinion of how the 200 works with your Maggies. I have a pair of Martin Logan's and they sound awesome. 

With regard to the software, they may improve it, or it's possible that they'll get Spark working with the expert line (either with or without a dialog) and that will be the preferred platform moving forward.
