If it's true it's really sad.

Sounds like investment at this stage but who knows where it could lead?

For adding their technology to car stereos and TVs a mass production manufacturer of chips has to be on board.
Not sure it will have any effect on the Expert range, other than hopefully giving the company a firmer financial foundation.

Isn't Foxconn the manufacturer of many Apple products? Nothing wrong with them.

They are the manufacturer who thought the appropriate response to worker suicide in China was putting up nets.

Les synergies ne porteront pas sur nos produits mais sur des projets de recherche. Il n’est pas question par exemple de confier la fabrication de nos produits à l’industriel taïwanais Foxconn qui produit l’iPhone d’Apple
-> "Synergies will primarily relate on R&D projects rather on products. There is no question of outsourcing the manufacturing of our products to the taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn..."

Yeah I remember them from that. I still remember the pictures of the nets. Practical and dehumanising. Definitely something wrong with them.
Thanks for the history lesson.

Of course not, concerning Expert and Phantom. For the miniaturized ADH card, well, it would be logical!

Well this is not what the devialet boss mentioned in a French newspaper. He stated that the production will stay in France. But who knows what's coming next because I don't believe that producing in France for mass production is feasible. It's probably a good marketing thing for high end products like experts and phantoms but not for other future products. Just my thoughts.
BTW, I'm always surprised that the expert products are *never* mentioned by the devialet communication in the press, it's like devialet is only about phantoms

It makes perfect sense to me: for the general public, Phantom is a much clearer (purer) demonstration of Devialet's engineering and technology skills than the Expert series. At least this is true for most people, who understand immediately what a wireless speaker is (and can go "wow!" over the peak power numbers) whereas relatively few get excited about a pizza-box hi-fi amplifier. It just reflects the limited number of people who are interested in "traditional" hi-fi audio these days, I think.
