Hi Allen and welcome to the wonderful world of Devialet (or Deviate as most auto correction s/w would have it...).
Yes, there are plenty of people here who have moved across from Naim at all levels. I tried Devialet as an experiment when I was thinking about upgrading my mid-range Naim system and was shocked at how much better Devialet was.
I've loved the NDS/552/500 systems that I've heard but no doubt you've got good reasons for moving on. I'm sure that you won't be disappointed by Devialet... Not just the sound but there are no humming power supplies and no need for towering stacks of gear either
I see you haven't decided on a source yet. Mac and Sonos will be fine to start with and I guess we're all looking for the perfect source -which doesn't seem to exist yet. You will see plenty of posts about that on here.
By the way, AIR works 100% of the time for me with no dropouts or white noise but you will read that many others have had problems. Devialet themselves are quoted as saying that only around 2% of their customers have problems...
Good luck!
