They are there and paid to support "within the US" business. You just might have to send the unit back to the country of purchase for any repairs or warranty issues or maybe be prepared to pay for the repairs rather than ship it out.
I'm not sure how tough Devialet is on their dealer network and what rules are in place, not that some dealers won't stray, on selling outside their territory.
Seeing as there are probably not too many dealers in the US at present set the price you are willing to pay, find out who the US dealers are, contact them directly and see who plays ball?
Devialet is in the process of dropping their US is distributor in favor of distributing themselves. I'm not sure how that would play out if you bought it in the EU and made a service/warranty claim in the US, but it doesn't seem like it should be a problem.
The EU price for a D200 companion is looking very tempting. If you exclude the VAT you could save $3k buying in the EU and shipping to the US.
