I have been very satisfied with my DM6 and DMA100 combination that drive my Linn AV5140 speakers beautifully. I use a mac mini as the server, and occasionally use my Naim CD5x. However, every few years I consider a change but haven't been really impressed with anything enough to make the shift. Until I heard the Devialet 200. In most tracks I listened to, it matched my system, but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. I am now trying to justify making the change. Any advice?
I ordered a D200 coming from Spectral dma200 (after comparing them). The D is on the same level with spectral, not better. But the overall handling of a devialet system is state of the art, I am sick of all these big cables hanging on these expensive dinosaur separates. After having a D in my room, the old system looks totally out of time and technically wrong to me...
