Looks good on paper. Would definitely be interested in listening.
Personally, as someone who would be interested in replacing their Devialet, it will come down to more than a simple 'how does it sound'... I'd be paying attention to configuration, firware, Ethernet compatibility, iOS interfaces, and a solid software division with commitment to developing features customers actually want. I don't think any of that will necessarily be obvious at launch.
For what it's worth, it's a similar form factor but to my eyes it doesn't look a patch on Devialet's design - but maybe it looks better in the flesh.
That said, looking back at the specs, the Room Correction - if it was a decent implementation - would be worth more to me than any of the current features on my D200.
