Reviewer talks about the journey from the D-Premier in terms of functionality but doesn’t do a head-to-head comparison with the Expert models.
The only strange thing I noted was that they used SAM but it wasn’t for the exact model of the Wilson speaker he used, it was for the prior version. I would have thought that was not ideal, it has to be the right match or not?
Going by numbers, I'd say if they gave the Astra 86%, it's very good as they gave 89% to the Gryphon Diablo 333.
Nevertheless, I'm hanging on to my 440-Pro CI regardless of Devialet's newer products.
