Not experienced as to the merits or not of having a magnetic free casing around an amplifier but Lavardin (another French amplifier) have plenty of reasons as to why metal, magnetic or otherwise is a bad idea.
Before purchasing the 200 I seriously considered a Lavardin amp as they too say theirs are the best but no dealers here in the area for a home trail.
Marantaz, too, try to minimise stray magnetism by using copper shielding.
I do think Devialet has gone down the shiny bling route a bit like Apple and Linn has when more could have been spent on technology or even a cost reduction.
Saying all that I do like the sound and the looks.
