I hope that they will bring us the streaming board and some OS innovations before priorities are moving where the money is... High-end audio is a play ground, mass consumer production and sell the IP is where the money is.

This is All going according Their plans. For us it is ok because it means company will survive and we will have our 5 years warranty valid
Some time ago some pople from Devialet informed that They want to enhance mass market ideas and słower High-End gear..
I hope they use some of that money to figure out how to get boxes and labels from France to the US. . .
"Devialet is best known today for two speakers that it has produced (both made in France): the Expert, which retails for multiple thousands of dollars; and the Phantom, a smaller device that sells for around a more “modest” $2,000."
I tried but my Expert does not produce any sound.

It doesn't do 'clonk' when you drop it? Maybe you're not trying hard enough
Maybe the 'journalist' should do their research before they write something. It's a joke what you find on the net nowadays. it's hard to know what to believe.
A 100.000.000€...
Why would Devialet need so much money? Think of all the dependencies/supjections a company is undergoing with so much money loaned.
So finally as we say in Germany 'Die Katze ist aus dem Sack'. It's all ONLY about money for them
.
For me it seems to be that there is a handfull of highend loving engineers held in cages to make money out of their ideas.
The rest is just public relation (but please not personal) and keep the Euro rollin'.
I think we can be glad to have a D/D pro. Perhaps buy one to have in stock and don't care for the future

...just being nuts...
'The Phantoms, everyones 'Audio-HAL' for the future and next you get your monolith for free if buying Phantoms in pairs. Submissive information over the net as everybody owns a Devialet sometime in the future. NWO in progress'...sorry 'duck', have to take my pills

Here is another article on the same topic:

"However, the speaker is based on custom-designed chipsets that could potentially power much less expensive products, including TV sets, mobile phones and car stereo systems. 'It could be an affordable technology,' said Sannié"
Great, soon we will be in the same league as Beats Audio. No wonder they have designed the Phantom with a focus on a hard hitting and powerful bass because this is what most inexperienced listeners think is "a great sound".
