Thanks to all for your comments. I am sorely disappointed that the Expert (non Pro) line has not received any recent updates. Devialet had promised two updates per year but with the development of the Pro line I feel we (vanilla) Expert owners have been somewhat abandoned. I still (somewhat reluctantly) follow the forum as one day I may bite the bullet and get an update to the Pro line, assuming Devialet once again offers the upgrade path. Anyway, I just wanted to grouse a little... but do appreciate your thoughts!
