I bought my D200 only recently (dec 2015) after an extended search and comparison between other amps in its price range. I've heard Kii 3 as well. For me Kii 3 simply didn't do it for me but I get the appeal. I never considered using Air as its source since i owned a very decent streamer I now use as renderer. I can only say that as an amp / dac I consider the Devialets a very good product that perform very well for what they cost. That said it also took me a while to match my system and cables to get the best SQ. Right now I'm working on getting funds for the companion. If I would have to start from scratch I would still buy a Devialet but most like buy a Aurender N10 as source. The only advise I can give those who are disappointed by Deviatet is: audition other products and let your ears decide. I did the same and despite it's shortcomings decided to buy the D200 anyway. Good luck on the road to Audio Heaven!
