Completely agree with the comments on AIR. I gave up after a month and got a Moon Mind. Its a shame as the D250 concept would be best in isolation, but i've grown used to having a smaller rack with the D250, MacMini, Mind, Graham Slee headphone amp and Teddy Pardo PS. Still better than six boxes of Naim on two stacks.
The Devialet sound is different to Naim. Less mid bass and incredible detail on an inky blackness. That 'blackness' is the key to the Devialet, but with the external bits its important to have good cables (a standard USB on the Mini destroyed it totally).
