It is interesting to know you upgrade from a le200 to O'dA ( to be more precise, to own both) and compare the two. And it is even more interesting to employ O'dA to push a pair of stand mount loudspeaker instead of those big monsters six feet tall.
I did have a listen to the Dynaudio Confidence C4's once, very good they were too! They'd go nicely with an O'dA I'm sure.... 
I first heard the original C1's and was blown away by what those little boxes can do. That's years ago now. So I thought maybe one day I would get C4's for my large living room. Since then I've heard C2's on Parasound JC1 amplification and again was blown away. But I've also heard the C4's a few times and every time with the wrong amplification. They need power to come to life but I've never heard them on a powerful amp. So they are still on my list of possible speakers but I will have my O d'A under my arms when I evaluate them.
Wouldn't it be better to plug them in?

My O d'As are back! 
Brand new chassis' and also looks like a new remote!
Now... do I leave the stickers on?!  They'll both be going back in 8 months after all...
Thoughts??

Remove stickers, plug in, give good thrashing
......and anyway, how confident are you that they will be going back in 8 months, rather than 9 months, 10 months, 11 months......

Glad to see you have them back and can enjoy them again!
Regarding the plastic stickers, these can easily be put back when you'll ship them again (in a year or so  ). They'll stick (electrostatically) just as good as they did/do now.

Cheers Antoine, that's good to know.
Yes you're right, it could quite easily be in a year or so but I hope not.

Just joking of course about the 'year or so' after Confused's remark.

Yes but I would be very surprised if the new streamer board were available for late summer 2017, and quite possibly it could be much later. Devialet are hinting at something quite ambitious with this project and I just know how problematic streaming technology can be to implement. It took Linn decades to get this right after all. In the end they hired ex-Sonos people and spent a small fortune in R&D to get the Kazoo platform off the ground. I mean AIR is hardly rock solid yet, right?
