Whoops I ticked 2008 (it did not exist then!) But in reality my D-Premier was March 2011 ( I think) and my second was December 2011.
The first guy I saw writing about it was Mike ("Steelhull") also in March 2011 on HiFi Wigwam - the owner's thread - which, at 483,000 views, has more than 15 times the number of views of any other manufacturer - albeit that thread has been pretty dormant since Devialet Chat started.
The first guy I knew to own one was Gordon Edge (now sadly passed away) who had been a designer for Cambridge amplifiers - the P40 I think (as well as heavily involved in university sprung start ups in the technical field) and he said it was the best kit he had ever come across technically and soundwise.
A coupe of cross references to Gordon Edge:
