This is what I wrote after the 1000 Pro launch event. (following a chat with Devialet's Mathieu Pernot) 'The new steamer will be UPNP, but does include an ARM processor, and could be programed for as yet unspecified future applications. Devialet are in contact with Roon, it looks to me like there are some commercial subtleties here, Devialet cannot say anything firm.' So, Roon support is not confirmed. Possible yes, but it is also possible it will never happen. We will need to wait until Devialet advise something definitive.

I think this is exactly what we are all hoping for... but the lack of any feedback so far about the 220 Pro certainly has me puzzled. Perhaps they are simply not out there enough yet for anyone to have reasonably compared the 200 and/or 400 to the 220 Pro. I'm not about to send my 200 off for upgrade until I either hear it myself or, short of that, hear enough positive feedback by those whose opinions I value to believe it's worth it. Hey, I want to believe. But Devialet doesn't make it easy, do they...

How many 200s (or for that matter 200, 400, 800) have actually been sold? 100s? Low thousands? This is not a mass market device but a very expensive highly specialized piece of equipment. So. . .could it be that the actual number sold is very low, the number being upgraded is even lower, etc? Does anyone have any idea of actual sales of the Expert line?

Perhaps they are simply not out there enough yet for anyone to have reasonably compared the 200 and/or 400 to the 220 Pro. From the looks of Oxford Audio's twitter feed they only got 220s this week, so it's reasonable to assume there are few new units out there for any length of time. Maybe the reports will pick up soon.

Well, it will have upnp, and the marketing blurb says along the lines of it 'opening the path for many uses of dematerialised music such as upnp'. I've also read somewhere else them saying Devialet OS being Linux opens up a lot of possibilities. This, combined with the fact that other similar 'high end' brands are all implementing Roon make me think there's hope. What we really need of course is a few pop stars and tech billionaires saying they want Roon too. Then we'd have it in a flash RE: Upgrade program kick-off - devi63 - 05-Oct-2016 Oxford Audio has received a 220 at least 2 weaks ago and according to twitter they played a 200 to 220 comparison last saturday, concluding that the 220 sounds better. I asked for a bit more detailed information but didn't receive a reply.... Awkward - but I think that's for some reason. Either they still have 200s on stock or they are not interested in upgrades (what I assume) or their stock of 220s is still too small... who knows? RE: Upgrade program kick-off - Finn - 05-Oct-2016 Wery Strange that we Don,t hear more about the ney Pro models , they want US too pay , but where is the Real testing?
