Hello,
I owned a Naim 282 pre-amp and the 200 power amplifier. And today I have the 220 Pro with the CI update.
For me the 220 Pro is the best and it is more convenient to use, e.g., Naim is really sensitive to the current the appliances receive, they need to warm-up quite some time, you need to invest in good cables to connect pre and power, and so on...
I have to say, nonetheless, that you mention the 250DR for use as power amp and this is quite a step from the non-DR 200 that I owned... But at the same time your 272 is not the best machine in terms of pre-amp and streamer. So yeah...
Ideally you should go and have a listen but I would opt for the Devialet since it has a nice boogie factor as well, less coloured sound, and simply more easy to enjoy.
