Let's use AIR as example of Devialet's software prowess followed by the list of new features added in firmware updates over the last year and a half. I suggest you don't hold your breath.
It seems you might be right. I was under the impression that since Auralic had shown a software implementation of MQA with the Aries and Aries mini back in 2016, other companies would follow: But just found out that Auralic is no longer supporting MQA on their devices:

To be frank I do feel a sense of frustration with the owners of Devialet expert. It is understandable if you have spent upwards of £12,000 you might have an urge to hear double DSD or even Quad DSD same for MQA but are limited to 24/192. That is the price we pay for a single box solution.
