DOS? Again? 

Does anyone have further info on what the OS will be exactly?

No, we don't. I suspect that we won't know until after the upgrade discount window is closed.

Interesting snippet of info gleaned here from the hi-fi show in Paris:

Essentially the new OS board will enable you to change wifi radio bands between 2.4 and 5 gigahertz...

Do you understand why that's desirable?

Hopefully it will do a bit more than that though?

The 5GHz band is less crowded, so less interference from other access points. It's shorter range though so one might need to shorten the distance/remove obstacles in between the AP and Devialet.

Sadly not in my London street.

It seems a bit of a damp squib if it's just static configuration option.  I assumed it meant that the board would dynamically use both wireless bands to provide multiple redundant routes for streaming (analogous to how the Phantoms can use Ethernet, wireless or power-line networks).  But I admit I'm reading a lot into what Guillaume reported.

I agree, a little flexibility on wifi settings isn't much to write home about! I assume there is much more to come though, given Mathieu's language when describing this.
