Hey, technology marches on and audiophiles get itchy to try new stuff. I've now been with Devialet for 6 years and still love it. That's not to say I've not been tempted. The NAD M33 had me curious but ultimately, I decided to not even give it a try. However, if someone here tries something new and loves it, I will likely be doing a bit of googling to learn more.
Now, if Devialet would come out with a new firmware update creating a robust front end for Sweet Room or cleaning up the whole configurator process, I might not ever want to move on.
Thanks for the observations, Mike. I'll be sure to keep you updated!
