Actually, I agree completely. Although there is perhaps an argument for O'dA owners that the real prize will be the Pro upgrade, rather than anything the streamer board offers. Although having to 'make do' with an O'dA for seven or eight months is hardly the greatest hardship, when all things considered.
To be honest, I am the person who should be least bothered about any of this. I am delighted with my Pro, and more than happy with my mR/Mutec front end. I just find Devialet's 'wall of silence' approach annoying, especially after Quentin Sanne's promises. Quite frankly, I think he said just enough to shut up the AIR petition and I don't honestly believe he had any intension whatsoever in starting a forum to discuss progress with the Expert or streamer board. This I find annoying! If I was less polite I'd accuse him of being a blatant liar, but I'm too nice for that. So it's honest communication that I think is needed, rather than any attempt to 'speed things up'. For me I'd be delighted if they announced the streamer board was delayed to allow proper development, and therefore they would be updating the Od'A's in the spring. Fat chance of them announcing anything though! Meanwhile, I'm listening to a bit of Hawkwind this morning which is cheering me up no end. Perhaps I need a little bit of what they're on to chill me out!
