Went to Easylounge in Antibe (not as exotic as you may think - Antibe is good however)for a listen...
Lots of manufacturers in the shop: Devialet, Linn, Naim, Rega etc
Played a Devialet D200 into B&W speakers (not sure model but bookshelfs with tweeters on top)
Comments by dealer - he liked to use Linn Akurate DS as source - seemed an expensive way to us and defeated the demo somewhat...
However, was interesting as i did get the "never heard that detail before" moment but did not like the balance of the sound
Comment on construction of 200 - nice but underside does remind you of a laptop
Need to have another listen...
will arrange in dealer in uk (Leeds)
