E.g. tidal integration, searching music, adding to queue, roon-ish zonal/device output selection. Not sure the 2017 dOS for expert pro will fulfill those. Am holding onto my 3490euros d200 to 220 upgrade $ til then I use both Roon and Spark and have Tidal, Spark works ok but Devialet have some work to do before they reach Roon quality. To me it would be best if Devialet go ahead and get Roon Ready with the new streamerboard in the Pro series and perhaps get the Dialog Roon Ready if that is possible? Would be so much easier to just use Roon on both my systems.

With new streamerboards, how does the dialog come in? Still needed? Im hoping for a cheaper solution of not having to upgrade to pro...streamerboard + dialog i can accept.

No I have the Dialog for Phantom the Dialog I think will not be used with the new ARM based streamerboard. I just think that it would be nice to run ROON in both my systems.

From what I hear, the only things they are selling are Musos, Unitis and the 272 streamer/pre. The rest of the range (which really covers most of what they are known for) has slowed significantly.

Indeed, I always liked the Naim design asthetic, and the green glow really does appeal to me (blushes with embarrassment). Sometimes I'm still temped to get another Naim, one of the Uniti models, for my office, or to foist onto my son. If I do the 120 200Pro upgrade, I'll get Preamp outs. Then I could buy a NAP 100 or something and use it instead of the Sonos Amp for the kitchen speakers. I would need to see what the future streamer board offers, or other new streaming source choices become available. So, yes; my lingering affection for Naim tempts me still..... RE: NAIM just released new UNITI family - Hifi_swlon - 07-Oct-2016 I was tempted by the Muso for the bedroom but when push came to shove I couldn't justify it - so went raspberry pi, pi HAT DAC, and Marshall speaker with full Roon zone sync and support up to 192. I love the setup but I still look at the Muso when I see it in the shops, and it's not even my preferred design. They get a lot of a slagging but I think they are a good brand and I was generally happy with mine. The thing is there was a sort of constant pressure that you didn't have a decent system until you had the 500. Mine was only just up from entry level so that felt really far away. Although Devialetchat probably causes a lot of OdA/1000pro envy, there's much more sense that people enjoy their setups at all levels and aren't constantly being told to buy 'the next one up' (or the next PSU up). I think the Naim forum is quite a bit more 'cultist' then here too. Weirdly what I miss the most is controlling the analogue volume knob (with its green light), via the remote. The dots around the display on the 200 don't quite have the same effect. But it's freed up a good chunk of space in the corner of the room. Damn, now I've typed this and started thinking about RoonReady Muso, I can feel the lure of John Lewis.... |
