I think I have now solved my problem, which I should have picked up earlier.
I was using a Tellurium Q Blue Diamond speaker cable. Although this is a good detailed cable I am not sure it is a good match with the Devialet. It gives a sharpness to the upper frequencies that, to my ears, emphasises what I feel is the (relative) weakest aspect of the 120. I have tried a Chord Signature Reference cable and enjoyed the 120 much more.
However, I think I need to resign ignominiously from the forum, because I still prefer the sound of the Superuniti. Less detail, reduced soundstage, but a full rich flow to the music. It's only a matter of emphasis, since they both have much in common and have at their core very good clear amps. And it is clearly purely a personal preference.
I can't bring myself to sell the Devialet. It is now the basis of a very good second system (the cost of which I have not admitted to my wife).
