Internal streamer (Devialet Expert) at the end of 2016

[Zappydev]

In hindsight I wish I had never upgraded my D-Premier. I no longer use the crappy WiFi/ethernet or USB ports of the D250 and don't use SAM as well so now it's a real waste of the >3000 euro.

This new rumoured upgrade has to be something REALLY special for me to even consider upgrading again. Like ADH special. (ADH for me still being their only "birthright", everything else they've produced is anything but special and often lacking quality) Thus far Devialet have proven nothing else to me than being extremely unreliable, not being customer centric, and having lousy software development skills. I'm extremely disappointed in this company. At this point I'd even be indifferent to see them go out of business.

I totally agree with Antoine's point of view. Notwithstanding the potentially superb SQ, Devialet have missed the mark with almost everything else. An incredibly crappy remote app, a ridiculous streaming solution, features like SAM that (for me) make the SQ worse, and a complete antipathy towards the game-changer that is Roon. I had hoped my D400 was a keeper, but now I am becoming resigned to the likelihood that it is quickly becoming obsolete.
