RE: Next Software Updates for Expert Amplifiers - DelaneyB - 18-Feb-2016 Completely agree with the comments on AIR. I gave up after a month and got a Moon Mind. Its a shame as the D250 concept would be best in isolation, but i've grown used to having a smaller rack with the D250, MacMini, Mind, Graham Slee headphone amp and Teddy Pardo PS. Still better than six boxes of Naim on two stacks. The Devialet sound is different to Naim. Less mid bass and incredible detail on an inky blackness. That 'blackness' is the key to the Devialet, but with the external bits its important to have good cables (a standard USB on the Mini destroyed it totally). RE: Next Software Updates for Expert Amplifiers - mdconnelly - 18-Feb-2016 When I bought the Devialet, it was getting nothing but glowing press and seemed the darling of the audio industry. I did have a chance to spend time with a 120 (bought the 200) so was aware of the AIR issues. But I also felt it was no big deal and they'd get it resolved in no time (that was nearly a year ago). After all, a lot of companies do music streaming quite well. No one likes to see "their" favorite gear manufacturer screw up. I'm dismayed by the way Devialet is "not" handling AIR, not communicating well with its customer base, and seemingly focusing all its attention on the Phantom. Like many of you, I'm concerned that it may be a portend of things to come. But -- and this is important for me -- even if the Devialet had no streaming solution, I would have bought the 200. To my ears, in my system, it just sounds better than anything else I've owned (and I have had some top-shelf gear). And that's what it's all about. Like everyone here - I want Devialet to succeed. We all win when it does. So, yes, time to let AIR go and seek an alternate way to stream - plenty exist at a quite reasonable cost. Devialet will eventually address the issue and I'll let them "exceed my expectations" when they do. RE: Next Software Updates for Expert Amplifiers - rwjr44 - 18-Feb-2016 When I bought my D200 I had the Aurender X100L so AIR wasn't an issue for me. I am very happy with its sound and less so with the company. But there are many hi-fi companies that produce superb products and have operational problems. Devialet's benefit to bother ratio very much favors benefit. IMHO.

Many thanks for that very detailed reply, I think I now begin to understand the problem. RE: Next Software Updates for Expert Amplifiers - f1eng - 18-Feb-2016 AIR version 1 had teething problems but worked well IME, version 2 was a, mistaken IMHO, big change to satisfy customer demand for Windows compatibility which has misfired badly it seems - loads of unanticipated problems. I wish they would go back to developing the original. Having written that AIR works fine for me when I do any streaming, has done for years, and my network is just a few boxes connected together, nothing fancy. RE: Next Software Updates for Expert Amplifiers - TDA - 19-Feb-2016 sorry if i haven't read all post in this thread. but i bought my devs in january and there was talk about a big software upgrade in the start of 2016.. anybody knows when it will come? RE: Next Software Updates for Expert Amplifiers - octaviars - 19-Feb-2016 No upgrades before may is what Devialet told me when I asked. They usually has something for the München fair but now it seems that Devialet is not atending. We just have to wait and see. RE: Next Software Updates for Expert Amplifiers - midi - 19-Feb-2016 I got a message, which makes me hopeful, that we get an AIR solution (because not only Devialet is working on it). I wait a little, there is no longer a matter of. Please don´t ask for details. I dream that the message is true. I have reset all purchase intentions for an Sonicorbiter or an Auralic Aries.
