Yes, what is the D1000?

I know nothing!  However, I did read @alphafox's post on P35 of this thread, which was very interesting.  I'm not 100% convinced that even Devialet know what they are going to announce!

Any ballpark estimate of price and whether it can be installed by techs within ones particular country?
I note that during the DPremier upgrade one smart fellow sent only one of the two of his pair of monos back at a time so he could have music during the interval.

I wonder how long does it take the have upgrade? If the local distributor is not in charge, I might end up hand carrying it to France.

There have been few comments regarding what will be done by Devialet or distibutors. It is worth noting that the UK does not have a distributor, just dealers who deal direct with Devialet.

Enjoy!

Thanks. The announcement must be imminent (a US forum mentioned Wednesday this week).  

Did they take photos of the bottom plate?  Supposedly it will now be copper to dissipate the 1000W.  (Edit: Nope. No bottom plate shown)

That will be the SPDIF cable to connect master and companion. Same as O d'A.
