RE: New product launch? - Antoine - 12-Jun-2016 Oh and if they'd make the upgrade available for the D-Premier one could argue it should be more expensive for that model or cheaper for D-Premier owners that did upgrade in the original window Devialet set for it. They'll probably reason though that those people have enjoyed the 'improvements' in the mean time so will probably make no different price. There seems to be no reason for Devialet to consider early loyal customers anyway. Of course the upgrade should also be free for people who have bought a 120/200/400/250/800 from at least the moment the upgrade or new models is/are officially annouced by Devialet. Owners of dual mono will probably have to pay near double. Dual D-Premier owners had to pay €5900 to upgrade to D800.

RE: New product launch? - Pim - 12-Jun-2016 (12-Jun-2016, 23:16)GuillaumeB Wrote: Let's hope Devialet make an announcement soon to put an end to all this conjecture! No! Endless speculation is fun! Question to you Guillaume; If the upgrade was just about sound quality and the difference would be as good as the difference between 800 and O d'A, do you think it's worth upgrading? I'm quite happy with the way I play my music so don't really need any upgrade in that regard. A 'bit' more organic sound would make me a very happy chap though.

From a SQ point of view the O d'A is a triumph.

Hmmm...Let's see if I have a lazy 3 grand lying around... RE: New product launch? - Celts88 - 13-Jun-2016 (12-Jun-2016, 22:49)Antoine Wrote: IMO it should be one fixed price for all current models. Buyers of more expensive models already paid for the premium at initial purchase. The D-Premier should not be eligible for an upgrade since that was officially upgradable for a limited time only. For the OdA the upgrade should be 'free'. That's a bit unfair on D-Premier owners Essentially that means you are forcing people to do each and every upgrade, as if the criteria is that you are only allowed the new upgrade if you did the previous upgrade then you are forcing people to pay each and everytime. I do get that people who did the previous upgrade should get a different upgrade cost than those that didn't - that makes more sense, but Devialet aren't the best at "makes more sense" RE: New product launch? - Celts88 - 13-Jun-2016 (12-Jun-2016, 13:39)Antoine Wrote: I mentioned it earlier but I feel like uPnP really is like going back in time. It should have been offered five years ago. But I do see it may be/seem interesting to many because of the reasons Guillaume mentioned. AIR is much more modern and versatile. It kind of was (still is) a too ambitious project for Devialet though. Extract below from Audiostream review of Antipodes DX Server and reply from Antipodes CEO Mark Jenkins regarding the negatives around uPnP: Audiostream review of Antipodes DX Server [quote pid='42858' dateline='1465735164'] Quote:If you read Mark Jenkins', Founder & CEO, Antipodes Audio Limited, response to my review of the Antipodes DX server, you'll have read this: [/quote] RE: New product launch? - wikeeboy - 13-Jun-2016 (12-Jun-2016, 22:49)Antoine Wrote: IMO it should be one fixed price for all current models.

For the OdA the upgrade should be 'free'. Agree with you 100%. The D-Prem was only meant to be upgradeable for a limited time, and even that timeframe was extended well past the original timeframe so D-Prem owners have had plenty of time to upgrade to a 250. If Devialet allow D-Prem owners to jump straight to the latest revision that will kill the value of 250's. Why would you go in and buy a dealers remaining 250 stock if you could go and buy an old d-prem for half the price and have it upgraded to latest spec? RE: New product launch? - IanG-UK - 13-Jun-2016 I registered my interest following the Devialet announcement and expected to be taken to a website telling me what I might be interested in and how much it might cost. As you all know, this does not happen. The registration is an interest in a mystery at a price which is a mystery. So I emailed Devialet and got this reply: "Dear Ian, Duly noted thank you. We will add you to the list. However i am not authorized to give any detail yet. I understand and than your interest, but rest assure, that in July you will have many more explanation in a new newsletter. What I can say though, it that you will greatly appreciate this offer, if I base myself on our previous conversations ! In July you will know more. Best Regards," So it is at least 2.1/2 weeks and might be 7 weeks before we hear anything more. |
