The distortion levels do seem like less exciting improvements than the improved A and D amps, ADH (rebalanced A vs. D), and power supply. I'm personally excited to hear Devialet talk about hearing improved sound quality rather than just seeing improved measurements. Measurements are great tools for testing and development but since I listen to rather than test my system I'm most interested in the improved sound quality (which I hope is greater than the distortion figures suggest). The other big improvement would be a better software platform with the new OS and streamer board, but I'll pay attention to that when it exists.
