But, one of the major reasons I decided to go with the newer Expert Pro CIs was it seemed that was the future for Devialet with lots of potential for further upgrades and functionality.  Sadly, little of that has happened to date.  While the addition of Roon Ready was a definite plus, other "features" such as Sweet Room are marginal at best.  Perhaps there is still more to come from Devialet on the Expert Pro.  Who knows.  But even without any further improvements, it's still quite a marvel.

No doubt that if you love what your 200 is doing for you, you'll love a 400 even more.  But then, you'll always wonder if the Expert Pro is better still (and IMHO it is).  My gut says go with the 220 Pro CI now and save for a future 2nd 220 Pro.

Thanks mdconnelly

That's look like a good plan.
I did really wanted 250 or 250 pro to be honest and almost got it but the seller have cancelled my order even I agreed with a chance of not having Devialet warranty transfered.

The thing is I've heard d 250 (non pro) and compared in my room with same equipment and really like it.
If 220 pro will give me sq close to d250 I will be very happy indeed ,but I am a bit sceptic about it ....

Think would have to invest to get 440 pro to get the sound quality level to d250.
