In either case a four grand 'play once' album in a posh box is just a publicity stunt aimed at people with more money than sense. I would also be very surprised if anyone buying this thinking it might be a good investment would come out very rich from it. It's also very 'lifestyle' - a label which Devialet seem pretty keen on.
I just find it all completely superficial and pointless. Like others had said already, when there are gaping holes in a companies performance in certain areas, combined with a reasonable level of customer dissatisfaction, it just seems, well, like their priorities are grossly misplaced or it's run by a bunch of clever madmen.
It's obviously not aimed at me, but whatever they were hoping to achieve - say to use it to launch a new technology or whatever - has had completely the opposite effect. I couldn't be less interested.
You don't know what it is, you didn't listen to it but anyway, you have an opinion...
You're seem to be more a hi-fi guy but when you're a music lover, release some undiscovered Bill Evans, Peterson and Vaughan's recordings sounds not pointless to me at all. Concerning Warner, well, they don't have any vision... They are just surfing on the tomb of what worked 20 years ago. They wished they created iTunes or Apple music... Again, the same wrote that Apple's core business what to make computers, not phones or music!
