this review on the Devialet 200. Quite nice but debate the reviewer on the implementation of AIR, which, as we all know, can be fraught with problems (for some, I might add).

Yep, he got that wrong...

What is the correct statement he should have used?

It is a hybrid Class A / Class D operation throughout. Both amps work together in parallel. The class A drives output voltage and control the sonic signature while the Class D amp drive the output current needed for high power.
Hence the name ADH technology as Devialet coins it.
