Devialet's newest technology...?

so far we do not know about the sound quality. Ok, it does not require the AIR driver. But it seems it can only be connected via USB. And for me USB (with a good Aqvox cable) is not as good sounding as AIR. I hope they support WLAN with the next firmware update.
And: not using a PC as a source will also eliminate the use of room correction, e.g. the parametric EQ in jRiver, Dirac, Acourate, ...so as long as Dialog does not have it's own room correction this will be no alternative for me.

Agreed the unknow SQ is the only thing that has stopped me buying one so far, interface wise it sounds like the perfect solution but the hardware is designed for a Sonos style product (albeit a very good one I'm sure), not the expert line so who knows whether the quality, using USB, will be as good as air. Do we also need a fancy USB cable as well to match the quality of Air?

Hopefully all this will be unfounded and it will sound better than Air and we will all be delighted!

Yes but it does say only USB at the moment which infers that there will be an Air or internet version later.

Why oh why is everyone on this and it seems every other forum so godamned negative about everything ion the world.

Remember what Oddball said "Don't hit me with those negative waves man"
