Upgrade program kick-off

[Confused]

A bit OT I know, but what happens when people who've modded their Devialet's send them for upgrades?
Do they ask the Devialet engineers to swap the mods over to the new machine for them?

Good question... makes me wonder what Devialet is doing with all the old innards of the Experts being upgraded.   Tossing into the bin?  Can any of it be reused?   Such a shame if not ... there are millions of people all over this planet today listening to cheap little bluetooth boxes as their only means of music.  

I cannot answer Hifi_swlon's question, but at the 1000 Pro launch event I did ask the question 'what is happening to the old electronics removed as part of the upgrade scheme, are they being thrown into a giant skip behind a factory in France somewhere'?  (these may not have been my exact words, but I do specifically recall using the words 'giant skip' ).  The answer was that that Devialet do actually have a plan to re-use the old boards in 'Pro Audio' applications, although no specific details were offered.  So it looks like the upgrade scheme is a bit like a part exchange scheme, where the upgrader is offering some value back to Devialet in the form of the old electronics.
