Look, we're all conjecturing based on almost no information. There really are just 3 possible scenarios...
1) Devialet will deliver a new OS/streaming board late this year but it will be a disappointment to most existing owners, or
2) Devialet will deliver a new OS/streaming board and it will be of high value to existing and future customers, or
3) Devialet will never deliver a new OS/streaming board
Based on the little we have heard, something will be delivered but they've not given us (yet) any reason to get excited. From a business perspective, however, scenario 2 is the only one that makes any sense. Hey, Devialet has a history of not always doing what it says it will and they clearly suck at communication, but I don't believe they're stupid - at least not when it comes to their products. OK, most of their products... Oh, you know what I mean ;-)
The longer they delay telling us anything, the more threads like this will occur, but that serves little purpose. While I want to hope for the best as much as anyone, I've resigned myself to just wait and see. At least for a few more months.
