Devialet Expert 220 Pro

As of June 2023 the finish is now a Matte finish Graphite Grey

The best Stereo that Devialet makes, the first step towards a Dual-Mono.

The Expert Pro 220 is designed to meet the demanding needs of audiophiles with full connectivity and the world’s most advanced phono stage.

It includes all Devialet exclusive technologies as well as major innovations developed for the new Expert Pro range.

Able to be linked to a second device to create an Expert 440 Pro, the Expert 220 Pro is the best solution to develop towards the extreme performance of the Dual-Mono configuration.

Your Expert Pro unlike any other Vinyl turntable, CD player, tuner, computer, smartphone, tablet, NAS, online music services, television : the Expert Pro system elevates all of your music.

The Configurator enables you to adjust, with absolute precision, each setting of your audiophile set up.

From defining active sources to setting the specifications of your phono cartridge, create a system unlike any other in the world.

Ready for Devialet OS

Thanks to their unique architecture, Expert Pro systems are capable of integrating hardware and software innovations that will be introduced by Devialet engineers in the future.

Among other major improvements, Expert Pro will be able to integrate the new Devialet OS in 2017.

A free upgrade will soon open the path for many uses of music such as UPnP/DLNA.
