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?

FWIW, I've made the final choices for my amp and source.

After a full day of integrated amp auditions, Pass Labs int 250, MSB ADC V Discrete DAC/streamer with second power supply, and the base Roon. Should be all set. Will order everything January 2, 2020. Can't wait.
  i vote American made Pass Labs i won't even read all that 
let's get that right 
I had used Pass Labs Amplifiers with Wilson Audio Speakers for many years, before moving to a Devialet 200, 400 and now 440. I stream music directly from my Router to the 440 and control all functions of the music and amplifiers via smart-phone or tablet from any room in the House. The Devialet is a pleasure to use, with discreet asthetics, light-weight, cool-running, low-energy consumption and sounds excellent powering my Sasha 2 Speakers. I haven’t had any service issues with the 3 Devialet Amplifiers that I have owned during the past 4 years. Sound-wise they both have their strengths and weaknesses; the differences are a matter of personal preference, though the Devialet is by far the easier to live with, for reasons previously stated.
