"What you cannot do with the Devialet, is play music directly from a NAS (Network Attached Storage) since it is not a UPnP device, it has no OS."?
Devialet most certainly has an OS.
RE: Devialet 120 review by Audiostream.com (August 2014) - Antoine - 07-Aug-2014
Yes indeed, it certainly does have an OS. The question is does it have an OS (and the hardware capabilities) that can support a complex feature like uPnP.
(I personally don't need UPnP but that's a different matter
)

Well, compared to the things Devialet is already doing, UPnP is not really that complex
UPnP is just networking and parsing messages (plus playing files obviously). Devialet already plays files, it does networking and it has been parsing configuration files in XML (and now more recently json) since the beginning.

Any idea why devialet won't provide UPnP feature? Heard they are providing DSD (although they didn't think it is useful, but is a buzz word in marketing)... why not do the same with UPnP? does UPnP requires some sort of optimization? or add a virtual input in addition to "ethernet" which requires re-writing the firmware and AIR?

They insist AIR is better and I guess they want to differentiate by not doing the thing other kids are doing. Repurposing ethernet should not not be too much trouble. The thing that is missing is the UPnP (preferably OpenHome) code.
