There is a big degradation in the sound quality when using the Devialet 200 Pre-Out. It would be better to just use a separate £400 DAC instead, which would sound much better. I don't understand why Devialet even provides the facility for a fixed stereo pre-out, as it sounds awful. This is a real limitation of the hardware and in my opinion Devialet should provide a decent DAC for the pre-out which should be equivalent to the sound quality when compared with the speaker terminal out.
