I have no doubt that JA would prefer a KX-R Twenty + MX-R Twenty + DAC of choice over the Devialet. I know I would.Who cares about stuffing everything in one box at that price point?
I'm guessing it's mostly people who, for various reasons, want a simpler system without sacrificing high end performance. And people who are into modern minimalist design. It's so those people can have their cake and eat it too. There are some people who go for it based on sound alone, but I suspect it's more typically a combination of sound, looks, and convenience.
