Confused, you have to ask (remind) yourself of why you bought the Devialet to begin with. Was it for the the simplicity of an all-in-one unit? Was it for the flexibility of configuration? Was it for the esthetics of a lifestyle system? Was it for the audio performance? Was it for the bang-for-buck/price performance ratio? Was it for all of the above? I think you need to evaluate the competition based on all of these merits and line up who's in the running. I think you'll still fine slim pickings among the alternatives but more have shown up to the dance floor. You need to compare apples-to-apples and under this condition the Devialet is pretty hard to beat.
