D'Agostino's remote for the hugely expensive Relentless preamp looks a tad familiar...

I think Devialet should take a leaf out of Dan’s book. Then we’d have a remote with a proper readout.

Been Devialet-less for some time now but remember fondly my D440's...have a preamp now that is near the price of the Devialet and it's remote, albeit in sculpted aluminum, is a POS compared to the wonderful radio controlled Devialet...I see this site is still a little too grumpy and I was one of them, no doubt, but consider how great the Expert series are and the remarkably unique innovation in the design.
A readout would have be good but imagine the power draw, etc...
Cheers to All

When it comes to remote I must say the remote Vinnie Rossi has created for their new line of amps is just striking and looks amazing to use!

The question is if I would´t change my Devialet 1000 Pro to Vinnie Rossis creation if I just had the money but the budget would shoot over twice than the price of my Devialet´s plus I would need also a Riia and Dac plus all the connections for that!

Marvelous looking, those pre, power and remote, from Vinnie Rossi, but how much it costs?
Certainly a lot and... how they sound?

Sweet, only 2.5 times the price of a D1000 for 1000 times the THD.... A real bargain IMHO.

I always found Dan D'Agostino amps to provide the best sound at any of the HiFi shows I used to go to.

More realistically, I'd settle for an upgrade of the smartphone app to have the exact same functionality as the existing remote + screen combination.

So the same 4 buttons available, and redisplay of exactly what's on the Expert screen on the app.

No expense of producing new hardware and no power draw issues to worry about.
