Just about every day I have sone sort of information from the likes of Naim extolling the virtues of their much larger range of products that they somehow continue to develop and properly support. I believe they're busy fixing RAAT at the moment. RE: Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 vs. Devialet Expert 220 Pro - NickB - 30-Apr-2019 No nor me, Naim don't develop and provide an upgrade path.... They make something new and BETTER then charge the earth for it and if you dare to keep one of their old products they expect you to upgrade the worn out capacitors to keep it working correctly...... Been there, done that, won't be suckered by their BS ever again. RE: Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 vs. Devialet Expert 220 Pro - Gerronwithit - 30-Apr-2019 I’d forgotten about RAAT. It has meant nothing aurally to myself. Actually, at the moment I am having more trouble with Roon skipping than any time since I bought it. The delivery schedule on a pretty narrow product line has been far from stellar either.

The aim of the procedure was to find out the general differences between the Devialet and the Hegel sound, i.e. if the Hegel is as neutral and pure as the Devialet, if it adds a certain signature to the music and ... if I like it, of course. I have had the chance to listen to the 590 being played through a pair of Sasha 2 speakers (which of course I am very familiar with). Overall I found the 590 to be very good, hugely muscular and powerful. Fabulous control over the Wilson speakers and lovely soundstage (which I think you have commented on). Unfortunately I wasn't able to compare to a Devialet, instead the comparison was made with the Vitus RI-101 which sells for roughly the price of the 440. I found the Vitus to sound more refined overall and certainly more musical, so if the budget is willing to stretch to 440 levels it would certainly be worth a listen. But at 9k GBP (and 5k less than the Vitus) the Hegel is excellent!

Have you any experience with the Amp? Specs seems good as well as wattage. RE: Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 vs. Devialet Expert 220 Pro - Flashman - 05-May-2019 I am in the process of selling the Lyngdorf and returning to Devialet with the Expert 220 Pro. I may have had a speaker mismatch with my Vivid Oval 1.5s, as they never sounded right with the Lyngdorf. Or, perhaps I was just used to the Devialet sound, especially with SAM engaged on my speakers. At any rate, I got a nice deal on a new 220 from a Canadian dealer and will have the unit later this week. As for the Lyngdorf, there was much to like about it: room correction, 32 different voicings (a form of pre-set equalization), a slick web interface for making changes on the fly (this would be a good improvement for Devialet), plenty of power and rock-solid performance. RE: Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 vs. Devialet Expert 220 Pro - listener - 22-Jun-2019 German magazine "Stereoplay" did a review of the 3400. They conclude that it is powerful (211W/8Ohm, 424W/4Ohm) and the additional Room-perfect gives a great stage and precise music. Music is analytical but not cold. Finally, in absolut rating it is behind the Devialet 120.
