Prior to my move to the US last year 2018, I was in Sierra Leone (West Africa) for 2 years and I acquired my entire present audio gear in 2016. The Devialets were D400 and I was using them @ 230 volts ac 50Hz.
In July 2018, my same D400 was plugged in at my home in Northern Virginia where it operates @ 115 volts ac 60Hz. I did not notice a single difference from operating my D400 earlier at 230 V 50Hz and now 115 V 60Hz.
Very high power amplifiers esp. ones which are extremely high current advice using 240 Volts 60Hz in the US / North America as 3-phase power can offer better noise rejection. However, our Devialets are only operational in single phase hence in North America, it will be always 115 V 60Hz if plugged-in to the wall.
