Small system with Devialet 250/Focal Diablo Utopias - worth upgrading to 800?

One 200 and one 250 can oversample to 192khz. And a system with two of those units multiply the oversampling by two (192x2= 384khz).

I must say I remain sceptical about that; it sounds like a rather glib, hand-waving reply to me...

I hope that answers your questions,

Great, finally an answer! Well oversampling or not, sound making is wonderful!

So I got my D200 companion a week ago and I´m very happy with the sound right now. Big Grin

There is a big difference IMHO between the D200 and D400  with the Focal Diablos. The grunt is back (as I remembered it since I had the companion on loan).

The biggest difference that I spotted this time is really the details. The D200 is super transparent but with the D400 there is even more details. And one other thing I´ve  noticed is that the D200 could sound a bit harsh in the highs with the Diablos (not often though), but with the D400 the highs are more sweet without loosing details. 

I´ve bought new PC also with very good results but thats a different story.

Had the companion 250 for about 3 weeks now, and I'm really impressed with the 800 to be honest. Lots of power, and very very sweet and detailed sounding. I'm sure the 400 would have suited me just fine, but I'm not going to complain Wink

Highly recommend upgrading to dual mono. An expensive upgrade, but well worth it in my opinion.

I must admit I don't quite understand what is the benefit of oversampling to 384 Hz if you start with 192 Hz.
Obviously it does something as many claim the sound is better, but can someone try to explain it in a more technical manner, please?
