Pass Labs or Devialet


Having thoughts on two integrated amps.  Devialet 220 or a Pass Labs INT-250.

At the moment the speakers  are the Pioneer S-ex1’s with a pair of Rels G1’s subs.

Using PSAudio Direct Stream with Roon and OPPO 205 for discs.

My other smaller room is a separate system the Kii threes, but that is another topic.

Any thoughts?

OK, seriously you might consider the Rogue Cronus Magnum, I think they’re up to their third version, but if phono is not a consideration the 2 version would be great.  Outstanding reviews for all versions, easy on the wallet, too.
Pass Labs of course. Big difference in sound. Pass in more “natural” , devialet is to “clinical”. You can buy both, but after a while, youg gonna sell the Devialet on 2-hands one eBay. I’m sure of it.
Since you since you now own both, you can tell s which you prefer after you have had time with both. I have never auditioned passlabs products, but I’m sure they are very nice. I do own a devialet d200 and it pairs quite well with my Focal arias. 
Pass, of course.
I've heard Devialet on a few occasions and never really liked the sound. Actually it sounds pretty bad.
