Before I bought my Devialet 200, I auditioned the following systems.
System #1:
Devialet 200 with B&W 805D bookshelf speakers.
System #2;
Devialet 400 with B&W 802D floorstanding speakers.
For both systems, the source was a Windows laptop running J. River and connected via USB (AudioQuest Carbon USB).
With both systems, I was able to audition with SAM ON and SAM OFF and was also able to audition with various degree of SAM. For both setups, I found that SAM made a very notible different for the better. I also read a review where the reviewer mentioned that SAM was a very good improvement but that it was depended on the material playing.
For me, as soon as a SAM profile is available for my speakers, I will definitely be experimenting with it. As a side note, having heard the Devialet with SAM Ready speakers, if I were in the market for new speakers, I would definitely buy SAM Ready speakers.
