One thing I dont really understand is if it has to go through a dealer if have one near or fix it directly with Devialet? In the begining of the mail it seems to be directly with Devialet and at the end it seems to have to go through a dealer.
Is the price going to be the same if one goes directly to Devialet or through a dealer? If the price is the same for me it is more convinient to let the dealer fix it for me.
Some dealers in Sweden have put up the prices for the upgrade and if the amp is bought in 2016 the price is 3990€ for the 400 to 440PRO (5990€ for us that have older amps)

My dealer has already got me registered and told me that they would contact me directly when the time comes. I would need to take my Devialet into the shop and they would then make any further arrangements. I am not in Europe. I have been told that this is likely to be December. Have you asked your dealer?

Based on Oxford Audio's recent post, the 220/440Pro demo units should be with the dealers mid to late September. (in the UK at least)
So yes, the actual launch date is a bit useless, but once we get to October, this does allow the chance to audition a 220/440Pro and still be within the September to December upgrade window.

And surely the performance of the O d'A and 1000 Pro gives a pretty good indicator of things to come?

How hard can it be for a user to swap innards ? Maybe they dont want this as a user upgrade cos they wont get the old boards back...?

I have asked my dealer but at that time the upgrade program was not ready. I am going to him this week and talk to him about it.

I dont know but is it so easy to swap the cards regarding the heatpads between the cards and the sink?
I asume they want to have some control of the change as you get new warranty for the amps.

If you mean the extra board its only the streamer board which I am not really interested in anyway. Pretty sure it will not be a Roon endpoint and I will never use anything but Roon in future.
Oh by the way you might look at the 400,000+ people that have put down 1000 each for the non existent Tesla 3.
Hard to argue with 400,000 people
I received the email from Devialet today and replied that I have recently purchased an O d'A and do not have to funds to upgrade my D200 any time soon. I asked whether Devialet were standing by the end date. Let's see what the reply will be. I just don't understand why Devialet can't wait a little longer. Give their customers a proper chance to listen to the Pro series before they decide to upgrade. What's the rush? Unless they have stacks of Pro motherboards ready to go and a backlog of cases
