Nothing but Astra
#1
I have just visited Devialet web site, and under Amplifiers found just Astra. No more Expert Pro units on sale ?

Yes, the Devialet website looks like a death certificate for the Expert line.

R.I.P., dear and long neglected Expert line!...

You can still buy Expert, their website is just very poorly done. Search Devialet Expert on Google, Devialet website should appear in the first results

@alphafox please check the new amps, you will see a definition of gimmick, my friend. They literally killed all the things that they were doing great and added up random spec bump on unnecessary things like USBC, USB 384kHz, lower damping factor, higher THD+N and all the random streaming things like Bluetooth etc. I am very curious to hear your opinion on this new amps but I know mine.

Maybe on paper the things look bad and there is a big success here but I feel like Expert Pro line is gold now.

Thanks, that’s rights.
I wanted to purchase 440 Pro CI, but after this release of Astra, I will be waiting to see what’s going to happen with Expert Pro. I suppose they will shut down Expert Pro line, when factory run out of parts for Expert Pro. Also, want to know, if company will announce maintenance for Expert Pro in next 5 or 10 years. Otherwise, not interested really

I'd suggest that the new connectivity options offered by the Astra series were unable to be incorporated into the existing Expert circuitry snd hardware

And you must bear in mind that Devialet must sell products in order to stay in business. If the factory closes, we are stuffed unless the source code of their software is put into the public domain
