Hello Allen - good to see you on here. Welcome to the dark side and i hope you enjoy your 200.

My own amp took a couple of weeks to come on song compared to the demo model. Once there, apart from a very slight change over the first 10 minutes from sleep it's extremely consistent in performance.

Sources, well i used my NDX for a while but found i preferred to use AIR via wired Ethernet. After the last firmware upgrade the Mac Mini has moved back to the rack and it's now using USB. I've gone full circle Mac 'n' Dac :-)

Hey James, great to hook up again 

Our paths over the years seem to have followed very similar courses in a lot of respects. My move to Devialet involves much more than a disillusionment with Naim's streaming strategy, but I am in the process of down-sizing big time. The 200 was pretty rough to start with, but fortunately this did not last too long and now is sounding very sweet. The huge bonus is that the S600 Ovators are working very well with the Devialet now (not so during the 200 running-in). I, too, have come full circle with a Mac Mini, I splashed out on a Chord Signature TA USB cable and that has made a big difference. Experimenting with BitPerfect and Audirvana with good effect. Keen to see if Dialog / Spark work out for the Expert range.

All the very best
Allen
