I did discuss this with a Devialet rep at a dealer event once. Apparently the dual mono set up significantly reduces distortion, so very likely, dual mono will sound better than bi-amping.
You could of course bi-amp with two dual mono set ups. This would be the ultimate (tri-amping excepted), very expensive, and configurator / firmware updates would take a while......
I know from my own experience that the dual mono does sound better, to me almost like it has a higher-res DAC. The DAC performance is unchanged, so I guess the improvement that I hear is the gain from the distortion reduction, this gain would be lost in a bi-amp set up.
