Hi Nicolas,
Did you get this right? No, not quite.... I think the history is something like this:
Devialet D-Premier - The original, very similar to the Expert 250 but lacks the Expert's high powered "Evo" engine, which allows features like SAM etc.
The original Expert range: (From 2013)
D120 (first released as D110, then became D120 after a firmware update)
D200, which can be D400 dual mono (First released as the D170, then became D200 after a firmware update)
D250, which can be D800 dual mono (first released as the D240 / D500, then became D250 / D800 after a firmware update)
The new Pro range: (From 2016, improved sound quality, more power & CI Board)
130 Pro (now upgraded to 140Pro via firmware update, can now be D210 dual mono)
220 Pro, which can be 440 Pro dual mono
250 Pro, which can be 1000 Pro dual mono
The Pro range was released in 2016. The CI Board was not available until the Autumn of 2017. A brand new Pro now comes with the CI Board installed. Earlier Pros were sold with the promise of a free CI Board upgrade. So all Pro's are either CI equipped or entitled to a free CI upgrade, so to keep it simple the Pro and a CI equipped Expert are essentially the same thing.
All versions of the Expert will run AIR. All versions have Toslink inputs.
Good luck with your Devialet hunting!
