Wish List - ZincAlloy - 30-May-2014
1. UPnP streaming, now that we have an Ethernet port - no reason why it can't be done?
2. An iOS control app, like ipeng, that allows me to control the Devialet and access my library from the same app. Currently have to flip between ipeng and the Devialet iOS app to do this.
3. Direct playback from USB HD - remove NAS, router and all the other stuff from playback chain that we need to manage.
4. DSD support - not that I've actually managed to find a DSD album that I want to buy, mind you! But good for resale value, if nothing else.
5. AIR for Linux NAS.
Appreciate that most of the above see mutually exclusive, but wanted to get them all down!

Number 3 would be great, I'd love it if the Devialet could play back files with high quality on its own.
Better speaker plugs would be nice too, WBT nextgen perhaps.

Number 3 as well, or at least direct NAS, make it thus a real media center, not being compelled to always run through computer or portable device.
DSD would be a nice addition, as well, considering how many makers are implementing it; it'll mark a difference to LINN and Naim.

This really is a must have feature. Only thing lacking is the software and even that is not that challenging. It's just that Devialet is not interested in doing it, it would seem.
This is the last feature missing from Devialet being a true one box solution.

Add the Munich show they said it is only a couple weeks to go for this feature. Hmm couple weeks are already gone.....

My 200 replaced as PS AUDIO perfect wave with a UPnP card. It did have one major fault, it couldn't do gapless, don't know if it was limitations in the protocol?
I now use a Shuttel fanless PC with a SSD, runnig foobar, I controll it with monkey mote on my iPad untill now it have worked flawless, I use air over Ethernet. It is also have a much better search function than the old solution.
I for one do not miss UPnP
Regard Morten

It is not. It was a limitation of the implementation. Every UPnP player I've used have had no problems with gapless.

Sounds like you had a crappy previous solution.

Good for you. I still assume most NAS owners that don't want to keep an additional PC running for playing music do miss it
RE: Wish List - Morten - 19-Jul-2014
Hi Jjo. Let's see when it comes, if it is better I will switch, I agree that you need one more box to play music.
I was using a Synology NAS, still are my PC takes reeds the file from this.
I don't know if the UPnP will give the same sound quality as AIR, but time will show.
Have a nice weekend
Regards Morten
RE: Wish List - jjo - 19-Jul-2014
Actually, when asking about this from Devialet, they claimed that UPnP is not designed for audio transfer and thus quality is better with Air. I just don't buy that, since I've worked with UPnP and I understand how it works. It just seemed like an excuse not to implement it.
I'd just like to see a mostly standard, platform independent, solution for streaming on Devialet as well.
