New streamerboard, what functions do we want?

[octaviars]

It's also interesting to note it's shipping early 2017, and they actually know what it is they're shipping. Crazy stuff.

I just asked Devialet a few questions about the streaming card (stupid of me, I know). My suggestion was the since the new OS card is only a few months away (someone at) Devialet would know what is planned. No luck! We'll have to be patient and wait..! Either they honestly do not know, which is scary - or they will not tell us which is annoying! Maybe they are afraid to promise something that turns out they can not deliver.

I would be happy or perhaps not happy if they just told us the new streamerboard will still use AIR to connect to a computer so one can decide what to do in the future. In my case carry on with AIR over ethernet but on a dedicated computer or get a microRendu or a Sotm SMS -200 and just forget about Devialets streamerboard. 
All this silence is just stupid but hey this is the way things work at Devialet so nothing new there. They have promised a streamerboard in 2017, I asume that they would have the specs finished if they are going to test, produce and deliver it to us in this year.
