Hi Guillaume

Firstly, thanks for setting this up. One initial thought;

It might be useful to have some input from Devialet themselves? There tends to be a lot of speculation about their plans/motives etc (the 400 vs 250 debate, for instance), so anything from the horses mouth would be good.

Looking forward to chatting with likeminded folk about Devialets!

Hi,
I can tell something, what a guy from Devialet told me at the Munich HighEnd Show. But it may also be, that this information is already known by the members of this forum.

Devialet is working on bidirectional USB connection. This will come very soon.

They are also strongly working on DSD implementation. As I understood it, this will be the next big update.

I am very interested in room correction, but I was told that there is no chance for coming soon with this feature. As I understood it, the main reason for not making a room correction is, that Devialet fears that they are asking to much from the bigger part of their customer in a technical way, handling with microphones and so on. On the one hand is this understandable but on the other hand, there are Hifi dealers out there and this is a job for them.
In my opinion, if one wants substantially better the sound, there is no other way as room correction, passive or (way better) with DSP in the amplifier. (Please no software solution in the PC or Mac, vinyl would not benefit from it!)

Let me say that the guy from Devialet was very friendly, very interested in my findings, it was a very nice conversation, that left me very satisfied with my decision for a Devialet.

It will allow direct recording of vinyl to a computer, using the Devialet as a sound card.

They need to give us some updates slowly;-)... this is just a marketing game and I don't blame Them. Next big update should be before Xmas in December, so I think this one will include DSD compability.
DRC would be a good idea for Munich 2015 (so May 2015). Denying is a good way to surprise people with sth very interesting. Devialet updates are full of surprises...like +30W for 170!;-)
