Hello
Please help me to resolve the problem.
Now I have 200. I am Happy with sound but I know that 250 is just better sounding. Now I have a cianę to buy D-Premier for really a good price. Is it a good ideas to change 200 to D Premier? I don't use usbinput. Just Coaxial and Air.
What is the SQ of 250 and DPremier? What are differences?
Is it possible to use firmware 9.0.1 with DPremier? Is DPM, ICM compatible with D Premier?
Best regards
Chris

You of course do not get SAM
I have a D premier..runs the latest firmware and if it can do one of the new added features , you get it.
Its nt worth it to me to send eu4000 or so to get it up to 250 specs
I can get a used d premier , black like mine for round the same money and would rather go dual mono 500w side than 1 250.
Sam , usb and ethernet are of little concern to me

I tend to agree with Rodney.
I consider the update from D-Premiers to 800 to have been not good value for me.
Neither of my main speakers will ever be SAMmed, I don't use the USB input, don't need the Ethernet input since wireless Air was fine here and I miss the lost HDMI input for tv.
I was in two minds whether to have the update and plumped for the wrong thing in the end.
But that is just me...

I have not noticed any change between firmware versions in terms of sound quality
