Am I the only one who thinks this might actually be a genuine question from someone for whom English is not a first language?
Consider that if you are looking for a high quality Streamer / DAC / amplifier that has native Spotify support, both the 220Pro and the Naim NAP250DR + NAC272 offer pretty much identical functionality, and are both products with a decent reputation for sound quality. Plus, at UK retail prices, they are indeed direct competitors, the pricing is almost identical.
It is a while since I have listened to a Naim amp, but I do know that a few Pro owners on this forum have come from Naim amps, so may have a better understanding of the differences than I have.
One thing I would say is that this is a Devialet forum, so the consensus is likely to be that the 220Pro is by far the better product. A far more detailed and realistic sound, better dynamics, more accurate bass with far better bass extension.
I am guessing that on a Naim forum the 220Pro is likely to be considered as sounding too clinical, poor at conveying the emotions in the music and looks like a chrome plated pizza box.
You pay your money (which is the same) and take your choice.
Joking apart, I think the 220Pro is a very fine piece of kit, and in terms of ultimate sound quality is unmatched at the price point.
If the OP was a wind up, then I look like an idiot, but hey, nothing new there!
