I'm wondering if the upgrade is the best SQ upgrade for the money spend. I'm really happy with current setup (400 + B&W 804D2) including AIR streaming from my Macbook... Next upgrade for me would be to move to the B&W 803D3.... I guess that the money 'between' the speaker upgrade is little more than the upgrade of the Expert, but if the next step is a streamer board in 2017 it could be close between the upgrade cost of the speakers and the Devialet 2017 end state....
What would you do when you had a 10k budget? Speaker upgrade or bring the Devialet up to date in 18 months....

Speakers, without a doubt. Devialet 400 is already a great sounding product.

Agreed, hands down!

Finally had a direct conversation with Devialet - making an excuse about not keeping the mid July deadline and explaining why. I also got the new final deadline which is between 25-27th. Will also have a phone call later today to further discuss certain topics that I think have to be solved / communicated urgently.
