His impressions will tell me more than one review. I still love my Devialet Expert 200 Pro but if Devialet doesn't step up its innovation, I could be persuaded to move on.
Other than that I’ll have to hear it to believe that it is close to Devialet level.
There are countless products that got 5 star reviews that are very far from it.
But I agree, Devialet needs to focus its engineering resources on high end too, not just on Huawei and Delkin half baked speaker docks.
Cheers,
