Any French speakers care to translate the bullet points?

The difference between 200 and 220 is considerable and greater than that between 800 and O d'A...  Cool

Reading the review one basically comes away thinking this is a huge upgrade. An upgrade that gives you most of the performance of the O d'A at least... in fact he wonders how the 220 would compare to the O d'A!!

Of course Jalucine was running the 220 with very sensitive speakers so the differences might not be quite so dramatic with speakers with more demanding loads.

Well, as Oscar Wilde said, ' I can resist anything except temptation'. I'm in.

Some of the descriptions here remind me of when I listened to the 1000 Pro. In particular 'nuances et détails sans la moindre agressivité'. I thought the 1000 Pro had details in abundance without that 'hifi' hard edge, in other words everything simply sounded very real. A lot of this must be the new ADH I'm sure. So it's back to my theory that with less demanding speakers a 220 Pro could outperform a D400. (Or 800 even?????) someone needs to try this!

Thanks! I do use Google translate but just find myself giggling at the translations rather than concentrating on the article. It's much better than my French though.

So "Workshop Original" - is that the literal translation of OdA, or the correct one?

So I should sell my Od'A to finance the upgrade of my 200? Tongue
