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?

The only advantage that the Devialet 220 has over the Pass is its slim line ergo friendly appearance. This may be an important consideration if the amp is to be used in a multi purpose living space. Imho, on a purely performance basis, the Pass hands down.

I agree that the Pass sounds different.

In the range, consider also Ayre and Luxman.

Between those three you are sure to hear a strong preference.
Thanks for the input.
I decided to buy both an added a pair of Tads CR-1's.
Will pay with both for different size rooms.  
The Pass will be great to help warm up that room as it has no heat vent.  its freezing here in San Francisco ,like 54 degrees.
