Hi guys. My very first post 
I have both a Devialet 250 and a Chord Hugo, which I use as just as a headphone amp. It's difficult for me to compare apples to apples (speakers vs headphones), but my feeling is that the DAC in the Chord is quite a bit more sophisticated than the Devialet (awesome as it is). For me, the Chord is very forgiving of whatever input you give it. Anything sounds great. The Devialet excels with high res files, but cd quality can sound a little flat to me. Again, just my thoughts
