Indeed. I understand it took Totaldac about 6 months to become RoonReady. Vincent was particularly proud of achieving this so quickly. Others have taken (or are taking) much, much longer.
My guess is that Devialet are looking at a classic sunk costs scenario here after investing so much into Spark.
Unless they commit now I just don't see this being delivered in 2017.
More likely the Devialet OS is essentially bringing Spark to the Expert range, along with some limited UPnP functionality.
