Sorry if I'm answering back in separate email, but having problems with my internet and kept losing my previous replies, so thought to try some smaller ones.
Regarding my set-up, I’m waiting for a new pair of Lenehan Audio’s ML3 Reference. Unless you live in Australia there will probably be less chance of others knowing these speakers. As Mike (Lenehan) specifically makes his own speakers then I can’t see much chance of them ever being SAM'd. Yes, there is the new SAM lab gear that travels round the globe, but living here in Perth Western Australia I can’t see much chance of a visit to here happening (certainly not in the near future).
My ML3 Ref speakers are a 2 way design (30mm tweeter, with 8” Mid/Bass driver, crossover 1.8kHz):
With the D-Premier’s I would be missing out on Ethernet & USB. Ethernet isn’t a deal breaker as if the Wi-Fi Air connection works good then can get away with not having Ethernet (I’ve just had my place updated new Wi-Fi; Ruckus R600, commercial grade Wi-Fi). USB would be handy, as currently us a Mac Mini , with Curious USB cables & Regen into a Klien DAC (another local Australian made component). I would prefer to have the USB, but if need be I can get a usb to spdif converter (possibly a Music Fidelity V- Link 192).
Will upload this psot and add another for some of the replies regarding your recommendations.
Again, really appreciate all the replies, it’s so nice to hear actuals owners opinions, as I only know so much about the Devialet’s, and the offers I have been given are only there for this week (can’t wait to house trial a pair, just have to take a chance and make my best choice).
Cheers
John
