Hi.
An update.
Following after my decision of an upgrade to 220 pro have been waiting a couple of days and changed my mind AGAIN, cancelled. the upgrade and bought another expert 200 to form 400 dual mono.
Ive also had to buy two (identical) power cables (bought audioquest nrg-z3) and another set of isoacoustics orea bronze .
Have set them up stacked with 4x bronze at the bottom plus 3× bronze between amps.
At first had a little problem with SD cards configurations but soon sorted .
Before the audioquest z3s bought some puritan audio classics power cables but after listening was dissapointed with them and returned .
Then bought audioquests which are much better.
As for the linking digital cable at first ive had an old REAL CABLE short rca to rca and with that it was not sounded right.
Ive also found an xlr to rca adapter from old days so I though I'm gonna try rca to xlr link for devialet and found it much better higher quality sound.
But still it wasn't sounding right to me.
So I've tried all my analog rca cables one by one in both configurations and found some black rhodium. RHAPSODY bettered some of more expensive ones like tellurium q blue.
This black rhodium cable given me the biggest impact with making sound more organic,natural,with bigger soudstage,more air. (high class).
Comparing to d250 which I had pleasure to listen before in my house I would say the quality of the sound in general is close and very comparable but also different as 400 sounds more neutral ,but also I think the base control is better here with dual mono 400.
As for 200 to 400 comparison with my equipment the difference is significant and for better,the control of the speakers now is unreal,the speed,separation, almost everything significantly better.
I am at the moment evolving some more options with higher class linking cable as think it can be improved.
For now I'm happy and if nothing change have plans to upgrade them to 440 pro in near future.
