For me there are several options:
- Don't upgrade at all. I'm very happy with my D200: If there wouldn't be an upgrade possible, I don't think I'd sell my D200 and buy a D220.
- Wait for more info on the D220: How's the sound quality? what's the benefit of DevialetOS? What about this new DAC? WIll the warranty be extended for 5 more years? What will this new streamer board costs?
(Personally I think the 2017 streamer board should be free for all 120/200/250/400/800 owner because of the grief with AIR)
- Score a cheap D200 and go D400.
All are options for me, for now I'll wait and see.
Whatever you think of the fact it costs the same to upgrade a 120 or a 200, I don't think Devialet will lower the upgrade price for a 200.
