Actually I didn't buy a Devialet D-Premier immediately after my home demo because I couldn't see the display from my seat, which made source selection with a sequential system (I prefer a selector) tedious. The importer offered a free stand as a sweetener so I succumbed.
I spoke to one of the engineers about putting a display on the remote and he said they looked into it but the battery life of the remote would be too short and that they were going to work on a remote App for phones which would incorporate the display, which came out a few months later. It works well, but I actually like the tactility of the rotating remote volume knob, so I almost never use the app.
The new one for the Phantom looks nice.
