I personally think Devialet's main selling point IS the all in one device, based on what once was (and still is) a revolutionary design.
I came from a full Naim system (6+ boxes), plus Weiss DAC. Great sound but unbelievably hard to manage, a sea of cables and hard to spot an issue when there was one. And oftentimes there was. Plus the inevitable itch to upgrade.
One listen to the Devialet (at the dealer's) was enough for me.
Personally I don't even care for most of the recent extras (excluding the extra power & SAM).
I dislike Roon's selling contract and have no use for music by the kilo online services.
I hope they stay focused. Simplify if possible.
