Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen ranks #2 of 15 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $219.99; the Devialet Mania ranks #54 of 117 large speakers by sound quality at $899.
Why pick the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen: A great sounding Amazon smart speaker, with wide sound from one box, Dolby Atmos and a built in smart home hub. It links with other speakers (Wi-Fi multi-room, Alexa Home Theater), which the Devialet Mania cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Devialet Mania lacks. The catch: SoundGuys still marked it down on Value (4.0 of 10) given the $219.99 list price, and it is explicitly not true left-right stereo from one cabinet, so a stereo pair is needed for real width in a larger room.
The Devialet Mania is the battery-powered, tougher option. A compact, good looking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo speaker with Alexa built in and splash resistance. Its battery is rated for 10 hours, while the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen needs an outlet. It is rated IPX4, while the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen has no water resistance. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen lacks. The tradeoff: Not very loud.
Buy the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen at $219.99 if you want a powered desktop speaker. Buy the Devialet Mania at $899 if you want a large speaker instead.
