I have to say, if it wasn't for the power supply underneath it would kill Devialet in the looks department.

Yes very subtle and understated in a way only the Americans can manage !!!

The steampunk/luxury watch look clearly isn't for everyone and I'm not sure what I make of the Mlife screen instead of the tone controls... having said that I've seen these amps quite a few times and I do think they look pretty good in the flesh. 

I've also heard the DAG pre and monoblock combo connected to some Wilson Alexias and it did sound rather special, with something very delicate and understated about its presentation... was the top end a little "softer" than the Devialet? Perhaps a tad warmer? I'm not sure but that's what I seem to remember. 

By the way I think Guildford Audio are hoping to have the Mlife at their show in April so those that are interested we can all go and have a look at it there. That's the Mlife not the Milf!
