Pressure mounting on Devialet by the day....
I have a friend who have a Trinnov and they just recently said that they are going to support Roon and it would take a couple of weeks to fix it.....If Devialet cant or dont want to support Roon in the new streamerboard I really think it is a big loss for us who uses Roon. If Trinnov who are French can fix it so can Devialet.
I would really like to se Roon support in the Dialog to run Phantoms from it also.....Roon VS. Spark 1-0. I have used my Phantom for a week now and I can only say that Spark or something in the process of using the Spark to control the playback is far from flawless......
I think a couple of weeks might be pushing it based on the brands so far...
I remember Roon saying Devialet had said no to Phantom originally as they wanted Spark only. Maybe things could change. The Roon guys have at least an Expert as they were asking about RS232 control. What that means, if anything, who knows. We can but hope, I'm guessing not on the current hardware though. I also get the impression Devialet haven't been very good communicators about the whole thing... which is a shocker.
This is only what Trinnov told my friend that it was officially announced that they would support Roon and it would take a couple of weeks to fix it. As Trinnov more or less is a computer I suppose it is not so hard to fix Roon for them.
I really do hope that Devialet tries out Roon and compare it to Spark as they will see that well some people are better than others at doing their stuff. I dont see the meaning of inventing the wheel all over again specially with the new streamerboard. Just add Roon and it will be a win win for Devialet, a great amp with a great control of the music playback.
To me the whole deal with Devialet that they think they are the best at everything is a bit annoying. Clearly they are very good at many things but perhaps focus on the hardware and it's software and use a software for the control that someone else focus on like Roon.
