When I first got the Devialet I compared the NRG1000 to a Shunyata Black Mamba CX/HC that I had been using previously on my (now departed) Ayon amp. I recently replaced the NRG1000 with a Lessloss DFPC Signature which I found a better match to my 200.
The NRG1000 sounds very fast and clean, not bright but extremely neutral with a very back background.. The Lessloss has more body and better dynamics, it sounds bigger and a bit warmer which I feel complements the Devialet sound better than the AQ cable, at least in my system and to my ears.. YMMV :-)
