RE: New product launch? - Borgen - 07-Sep-2016 Just FYI, I have a DP that was upgraded to 250 last time. I added myself to the "upgrade list" a few days after it was announced and today I received the offer for discounted upgrade to 250Pro. The 2549 Euro offer is not too bad I guess, but I will wait to see what people think about the upgrade quality before I consider doing anything (I consider myself one of those being a bit dissapointed with previous upgrades). RE: New product launch? - Rufus McDufus - 07-Sep-2016 The problem with this is I feel I now have to wait and see if Devialet choose to extend the upgrade discounts across the board. It seems a bit silly signing up for it as things stand. I was going to wait until I'd heard a 220Pro anyhow, and there is a the small matter that I can't really afford the upgrade anyway so it's all a bit academic!

I presume this is because of the copper baseplate? 200 and 250 upgrades both listed at £2,990 when I last looked, maybe I'm mistaken though. RE: New product launch? - Hifi_swlon - 07-Sep-2016 Mmm checked, but the 400 and 800 are different though. I give up its too confusing.

However, I still think this whole saga from Devialet since I purchased my 200 (which SQ wise I love) stinks. False promises, etc etc. Don't need to regurgitate it all, but one thing does grate. So, some people are receiving special upgrade prices because they have upgraded in the past. What about pretty much everyone of us who have had to purchase other equipment just to get our music playing through the Dev, which has refused to do the much vaunted things that many of us based their purchase on in the first place. Don't skip the O d'A part.

I was going to wait until I'd heard a 220Pro anyhow, and there is a the small matter that I can't really afford the upgrade anyway so it's all a bit academic! That sort of makes the whole situation a lot more straightforward I suppose! I'd find it really hard to justify too - been an expensive year already with plenty to follow and I could really use an amazing holiday too. But if a deal was so good it would be stupid to miss it, then even a hardened anti-Devialet man like myself could probably see logic overcome heart and take it (and buy the hope that one day in 2017 I might experience the 'glitch free direct streaming' I can only dream of now). Doesn't look like I'm going to have that dilemma though, as at £2,990 it's of no interest. Plus I've got a set of speakers arriving imminently for home demo, so there's that too.....

I presume this is because of the copper baseplate? Yes, I stand corrected! Or partially correct at least. The 200 and 250 upgrades are indeed the same price, whereas the 400 upgrade is less money than the 800 upgrade. That one is a little tricky to explain. RE: New product launch? - CostViewer - 07-Sep-2016 I am a Devialet user since 2011 (d-Premier->250 now) and I confirm I too received an email yesterday offering me an upgrade with a nice discount at a price in EUR mentioned few posts earlier. However me to would prefer to wait and see and HEAR (!) what new model is going to sound like. No rush! And I too was let down by many not fulfilled promises by Devialet in the past. AIR is one but who remembers once-dropped HDMI which originally had been planned to be turned on but then eventually dropped out? So what we all can assume is that Devialet may have good intentions but facts speak louder than words and the former are not in favour of the Devialet. As one man said: A goodwill is built through many years but may be destroyed overnight. Despite great sounding product Devialet is yet to earn its trust from its customers. And this will take more than a while.

But I can't help Feeling slightly guilty at getting the offer, I didn't do anything to swing it so please don't hold it against me! I also think that this discount will be offered to all others and also that the upgrade window will be lengthened. I'm sure Devialet would rather tempt say, for arguments sake 2000 people to upgrade at reduced prices than 1000 at full price. If I decide not to upgrade, I shall of course pass on my code to someone else. |
