I suspect the logistics will be handled in a similar manner to the Expert Pro upgrades, staggered over time.

If I lose Roon Air, Devialet loses me, it's that simple I need Roon.
It might have been posted elsewhere on this forum, but several forum users report they have spoken to Devialet who have confirmed ROON AIR support remains.
Yes, this is very good news!

So fear not!
The actual quote I'm reading more into:
"
And for those of you who use and love the “Roon + Expert Pro” integration, as I do, it will keep on working, only better.
We have more up our sleeves, stay tuned!"
Now what do they mean by "
only better.", hopefully this could mean a Roon Endpoint
There seems to be a lot of presumption here that the vast majority of Devialet owners use Roon and their needs must be served first and foremost. I don't use Roon and have no desire to. I know people who have no interest in the new OS card as they mainly play vinyl. One of the main reasons why I bought a 250 Pro was because it can be set up for two separate phono inputs without an external phono amplifier, and the fact that my family can use it, including my wife.
I've been in touch with Devialet over the last week about getting my speakers SAM profiled. They were as prompt and courteous as ever. As luck would have it, they were profiled last Wednesday and the profile was online the next day. I asked about OS and was told of a launch event at a dealer in November and Qobuz, my issue of interest, probably early 2018. I see someone from Devialet said as much on their support page and they said a while back that Qobuz and Tidal would follow some months after OS. I don't blame them, makes sense to get the core technology out for a few months and know its working properly before loading in lots of third party stuff. I won't be selling my streamer until I get OS and use it successfully for a few months.
Roll-out may end up being a little later than expected, but it hasn't stopped me enjoying my Devialet since I got it in January 2017. If they'd said it was going to launch in March 2018, people would be jumping for joy that it will be early. Next week or next month won't change my life.
Yes but you don’t understand how this Forum works.
1. Someone starts a wild rumour.
2. 3 posts later it is a fact direct from Devialet.
3. 6 posts after that everyone starts bitching about why it hasn’t happened yet.

Wrong!
It was Devialet starting talking about a new streaming board one and a half year ago!
