Oh well, I guess this is not the end of the world because as you mention UPnP/DLNA are protocols that Devialet have already advised are supported. Guillaume - I recall that you posted that Devialet were planning (or at least 'hinting' at planning) something 'quite ambitious' for the OS board. So I'm guessing you think this hint was aimed more at functionality rather than sound quality? Plus, if they hit the Q2 promise, we only have 5 more months of speculation to go! Oh the joy! RE: The new Streamer Board - What is the 'must have' feature - Antoine - 23-Jan-2017 I'm afraid that their 'quite ambitious' implementation will fail to impress for example, the average Roon user. We're spoiled and demanding brats. OK, enough negativity from me now. I hope I'm proven wrong of course. Time will tell but I in no way am dependant on what Devialet will produce so can't also be "victimized" by or "held hostage" inside their eco system.

More functions are bonus but SQ is the king IMHO. That is my guess. Anyway it's all conjecture at this point. I don't have any new info, other than what Mathieu told me via email a few months ago. I'm actually thinking more like Q3, but I hope it's earlier. Once again I don't think Roon is going to feature, rather we will see the first steps of the Expert PROs becoming real streamers (as opposed to network attached DAC/amplifiers). Based on what they have publicly announced the first stop would appear to be UPnP/DLNA. For the Expert PRO to become a real streamer it will require a control point of some description. This is where I think we will see Spark coming into the game.

We're spoiled and demanding brats. Of course in Devialet terms, 'ambitious' could simply mean doing a round of internal beta testing..... RE: The new Streamer Board - What is the 'must have' feature - Dannythered - 23-Jan-2017 Surely if it's worth £1300 then it must be pretty damn special considering what else is on offer for much less, otherwise Devialet run the risk of looking very silly RE: The new Streamer Board - What is the 'must have' feature - thumb5 - 23-Jan-2017 Well..."worth" has a very different meaning depending on who's saying it. As has already been pointed out, it's only Devialet's marketing department that has said it's worth €1800, and it's anyone's guess how they arrived at that figure.

Totally agree but why risk ridicule not just from users but from competitors, potentially brand damaging if they fail to deliver, however I'm already prepared to be disappointed which says it all RE: The new Streamer Board - What is the 'must have' feature - thumb5 - 23-Jan-2017 Me too. At least we can then be pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be genuinely good. RE: The new Streamer Board - What is the 'must have' feature - Alec_eiffel - 19-Oct-2017 I didn't vote as my #1 wish was not on the list : convolution with FIR filters for speaker/room correction. This would be handy to have it for ALL inputs TV+Phono etc... instead of only on Ethernet today from the Roon Intel NUC RE: The new Streamer Board - What is the 'must have' feature - f1eng - 19-Oct-2017 As one of the few who listen to mainly classical music and annoyed by re-tagging time wasting, the only thing of (faint) interest to me is the possibility of integrating my Phantoms as rear channel of a surround sound system with my O d'A driving the fronts. |
