I got this response from Devialet Tech Support regarding continue supports for the Expert Line:


Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us here at Devialet. I hope you're well.

Devialet Expert will continue to be supported from a hardware perspective, that is, repair services will still be available. Software-wise, for Expert Pro there are no significant software issue or bugs detected for the past years, the user experience will continue to be good for the streaming services currently available.

Concerning future upgrades to the Expert line, there are no plans for any. There will be trade-in options for Expert and Expert Pro to Devialet Astra.

If you have any other questions or concerns please don't hesitate to get back to me,

Kindest,
Jake | Customer service & support Devialet

Has Devialet actually stated what trade-in options are from the Expert Pro line to the Astra?   Not that I'm even remotely considering it, but it would be interesting...

I also have a Phantom in our main bedroom.

I’ve had the setup for a few years and it had worked flawlessly. Devialet have always been responsive to any technical requests.

I am about to upgrade by rear speakers to Paradigm Persona Bs and want to boost the power from my AVR. I was thinking of inserting a Musical Fidelity 550K Supercharger in line for each rear speakers (as I do for my centre channel). However, is a third Expert Pro an option, to drive both rear speakers?

I fully support the petition.  Devialet did a great job with these amplifiers and it would be a shame to not see them maintained or developed. At this early stage the new amp doesn’t appear to be a real step forward. No doubt Devialet has genuine reasons for its chosen path and I would be very grateful to hear those reasons.

Merry Christmas all
