Hi.
I am new to this forum and live in Cape Town, South Africa.
I have recently bought the 220/CI, which I am using with Sonus Faber Stradivari speakers, and could not be happier. I am a Roon user, which is on a QNAP HS 251+ NAS, upgraded to 8GB RAM. The Roon database is on a separate USB connected solid state drive.
I can finally state, with the Devialet 220, that I have arrived at a solution which is basically the end game for me. It is a perfect match for the Stradivari's and sounds better than my previous Burmester 911 / Esoteric CO3 amplifier. It replaced 4 components in my system. The incredible sound quality, coupled with the convenience of fewer boxes and Roon interface, makes it a no-brainer for me.
Vinyl also sounds amazing and better than before.
