In the context of end-of-lifecycle, yes. Because I prefer to have a car that goes even if it’s radio is broken. I am not sure why we need to be binary on this kind of situations.
1) Devialet produces faulty software which breaks time to time and they don’t fix it on time. (All existing bugs, broken app, broken MacOS AIR plugin)
2) Devialet didn’t keep the promise on CI, after the CI upgrade only feature we got was Sweet Room which was already there but wasn’t made public and it has bugs that limits the usage.
3) Devialet stopped producing Expert Pro 250 and 1000 which will decrease the value of the existing units as the maintenance will be a concern both from software and hardware point of view.
All in all, I am not sure where you want to arrive and why you want to pick a side. I really have hard time to understand it. My employer pays me because my work adds more value than my salary. Devialets sells products to me because those products offer some features to solve my life problems. If I don’t drive more than I get, I am being fired. If Devialet doesn’t simplify my life in the way it promoses I criticize and complain because what I paid for wasn’t met. Again here, as a 7 years owner of a Devialet amp, one or the otherway I was able to survive with this amp (other than one single flow, all of my use cases have at lease one bug) but now I see a legit concern about what will happen if I need a config update or if a new MacOS version breaks AIR plugin again or if an iOS update cause my remote app to crash. I apologize from all of you that I am concerned about these if that makes you happy @Delija because I am really having hard time to have empathy on where you want to lead and what is the gain you have from it. Basically we all see a risk on a product we use as part of our lives.
