Hello,
I'm going to try to give you an overview of my impressions after a few hours passed with my new D250 Pro.
First of all, my comparison will rely on a former D200 I listened carefully on my system, exactly the same one used with theĀ D250 Pro (Upgraded mac Mini / Audirvana / Dirac Plugin / Air3 / Thiel CS 3.7)
What is obvious :
-D250 Pro heats much less ; slightly warm after 2 hours playing ;
-better soundstage, wider, deeper and vast. More air ;
-more musical ; better fluidity and musical notes ending ;
-the sonic signature is more flexible, luminous, and elegant. As transparent but not as sharp. I would say more natural (a bit smoother) ;
-no lack of power impression ;
-better rendering at low volume (more dynamics).
-low frequencies : a bit more controlled (due to increase of power I suppose) with many details and background noises : seems to have a lot more to listen in this area.
What is the same :
-Transparency, and a marvellous quality of tones, specially with acoustic instruments and voices. Better result with Air3 on my system.
-Punch, impact (modulo increase of power).
-It's always a Devialet !
Regards,
I.
