The "better SQ by setting lower power" was true only in D-Premier times. Even this may be doubtful as I suspect that the volume control algorithm comes into play here. With less power available one probably used less digital attenuation and this may be audible. I also believe Devialet increased the working bit depth for ADH to 40bit (i.e. max for the DSP) at some point and may have re-worked the digital volume control code at this time.
I used lower power on my amp for some time, but from 240/250 there was no longer a difference so I used full power.
