Received my 250PRO about a week ago and loving it. Haven't been posting on this forum for a while, but the effect of this upgrade is so significant it makes me really excited. The difference between the 250 and 250pro is immediately noticeable, with all the goods described here earlier by others. Especially the increased soundstage makes all the difference.
Maybe another interesting comparison. I've been playing around, like others here, with a lot of tweaks. Dual PC JPlay setup, USB Regen, cabling, mRendu, HQPlayer, etc.. After this upgrade I now went back to the Devialet basics, using latest AIR via ETH. It just sounds right this way and also AIR is very stable for me. I also really like the AQ NRG power cable supplied, it just fits underneath the backplate; the PS Audio AC12 I have doesn't.
All in all I think its time for me to sell of all those tweaks and I might even 'earn' back the cost of the upgrade + extra!
PS: I recently bought a second hand D-Premier for a good price. That's actually the one I've had upgraded now. I will for sure also upgrade my other 250 to PRO. The whole idea is to first make a comparison between the two and then after upgrading the 250, combining them to make a 1000PRO. I might do some more comparing between the 250 and 250PRO before sending it in.
