Hello TDA,
Listening to a piece of equipment before buying is definitely the right thing to do. However, this is not always possible.
I bought my D200 without auditioning, to replace my Ayon Triton tube integrated amp.
I was thrilled with the new Devialet. After about a year into this, again I upgraded to D400 by getting a new Companion. The improvement in sound quality is beyond my expectation. I wouldn't even hesitate one bit to upgrade knowing what I know now. The D400 sound is amazing, much better than D200 stand alone.
Then my dealer called me to say someone didn't want the D800 on order and asked if I wanted it. Once again I upgraded to D800 from my D400.
The improvement this time isn't as much as in D200 to D400 but at least I have explored and experienced what it is like.
This audio journey has been one that is exciting and fulfilling.
Once you get your Companion and upgrade to D400, I am quite certain you will find a huge improvement. Enjoy!
Do let us know and keep us updated!
Cheers.
