Devialet announcements in Paris in week 42 2024.

[ada]

I don't agree, I would not buy another amp from Devialet if they are abandoning the Expert line, specially Core Infinity with zero follow up releases. Their sell point back in 2016 was around the future proofness and what we got was:

1) Devialet AIR being obsolete with new MacOS releases
2) No Tidal or Qobuz connect
3) No further additional capability (like Dirac Live etc)
4) No AirPlay 2 while Phantom got it
5) No Bluetooth (even if it is not used again Phantom had it)
6) Zero incremental DOS update! Zero! The Phantom has at least 10 iteration over the one Expert has!
7) Expert Pro remote app in Android is also obsolete now!

I am sorry, if this is a new system that doesn't go with the existing Expert Core Infinity I am not convinced to buy it as I know they will abandon it in an unknown state again. Now it is Devialet's turn to earn our trust, not the vice versa, we have good reasons to not to trust them and they are the one coming back from their ashes, let them prove it!
