Devialet. Long term satisfaction?

Leicachamp,
looks like you are a big fan of Leica cameras? I'm into photography too & use a Nikon (seemed to prefer it over the equivalent Canon). Leica cameras are superb but also pricey....Do you have a Flickr page where you upload your photos?

My brother was trying out the D400 model to see how it sounds & whether or not he could recommend the same to his friends (my brother seems to prefer tubes himself). Will have to ask him his opinion on this matter the next time i speak with him.
thanks.

Bought a D170 when they first came out. Finally a Devialet that I could afford.
That was almost 2 years ago. It replaced a Primare i30 - chalk and cheese.
Still providing plenty of "wow" moments.
My now D200 ain't going nowhere - it's a keeper.
Problems? AIR is not so great in my system. I don't use it. But I can't blame the D, as my wireless network is not up to the standard required.
Also, one of the feet came adrift from the chassis. Fixed promptly under warranty. This was probably my fault as I was sliding the D forward to alter the connections. Don't slide it - instead lift it up (not heavy) and preposition.

Jaxwired - in your Youtube videos I see that you have owned both the NAD M2 and Devialet 200. I am considering both. Do you consider the Devialet far superior and worth the extra 3.5K?

Just bought the Devialet Expert Pro 1000.  I can only say wow.  Addicting to say the least.  Setup is a Mac Mini...Pure Music...Berkeley Alpha Reference Dac....to Maggie 20.7's.  Can't imagine it sounding much better ever at this 
point.    K

If you audition the Magtech, the deviate will go up for sale within the end of the first week.  It's that good!

heard class d devialet, and any good a/b amp sounds so much better, and saves you a ton of cash, downgrading to a class d amp..

try it, you will be a believer.
