Would love to have the same HDMI eARC support for Phantom....

2190 euro isn't cheap but also not that crazy. Can't find if it's Roon ready though.

Looks like they smashed two Phantom IIs into a long, heavy sound bar? The size, weight and prices are fairly comparable. Guess each of the 8 oval-shaped woofers is roughly 1/2 of Phantom II’s 3.5” woofer?

I created a new subforum for the Dione here - https://devialetchat.com/Forum-Dione-Soundbar

Looks like four of the driver pairs are horizontally opposed, like in the Phantom, with four firing forwards and four firing backwards.  I wonder how that works in a wall-mounted setup, firing straight into the wall??

Edit: Answered my own question, it seems that in that configuration the bar is rotated through 90° with the "top" facing "outwards".

Also wondering if the Devialet Intelligence Processor is the same SoC used in the Phantom refresh? Presumably..

So, I asked again yesterday...
The soundbar has 18 Drivers in total, Dolby Atmos surround sound cappable, 2400Euro is the price he told me.
It is sadly not supposed to function as a surround controller for the Phantoms... He said this was also the first thing he asked the guys from Devialet.
Release will be in march.

Thanks @Crilch!  Your source was more-or-less spot on on every point, including (who'da thunk it?) the year and month of release!

I am not sure if it's worth switching my stereo phantom II 95dB setup for this..
Would be good to hear reviews/feedback from people who've tried it out in real life.
Personally, I am sceptical about the device being immediately against the wall/cabinet (phantoms could go on their own tripod/stand).

It's beautiful! Wonderfully done. Really love it.
