If this was the end of 2007 perhaps this was a nice piece of junk......just the thought of leaving the whole streaming thing up to Devialets software development makes me feel a bit sick. The way Spark/Dialog/Phantom works is not a thing to be happy about, sometimes a new firmware takes one step forward and two steps back

Please, help me out....know nothing about Spark, etc....are these technologies worth the wait or is this project flawed from the start. Not sure how to read these comments.
Cheers

It depends on what you were expecting or want from it?
If you've tried a Phantom and used Spark, and loved every minute of it, then you'll most likely be extremely happy if this is what Devialet deliver.
Some of us were being a little sarcastic, since we think its almost definitely going to be half-baked junk that would be of no interest, other than maybe it would mean an iOS update for the volume control (which would no doubt be ugly and not work properly, neither of which is the case at least for the out of date expert iOS app).
To send us all into despair they'll probably finally add room correction, but only if you use Spark! (We'll recover shortly after when we realise that doesn't work either)

Sounds like it is time to look at a dedicated ROON linux NUC and forget this sh@te. Would mean AIR is out the window unless it was could be configured as a Windows based unit. just wish this company would step up and say something constructive on the issue.

And this new board is going to be worth 1800 quid? I'd rather have the dosh!

For what they said its worth, you could get a Phantom !!
So Devialet will probably just tear out the card, sending it on to us while binning the remainder of the Phantom. They have allowed themselves till the end of the year as they haven't worked out how to open the Phantom's yet !!!

I think the price of 1800 is a figure pulled out of thin air by Devialet, just to get people on the initial upgrade train. I think what we are going to get however would be something like the SOTM-SMS200 which costs around $400. Yes if you include onboard SSD you might increase the price to around $600. For the UPNP/DLNA they are using the same Wifi card that is inside the Aires Mini even the processor looks similar (see pic attached). As for the processor its ARM. Just as a caveat I might be completely wrong on this.
RE: Streamer board......? - octaviars - 30-Mar-2017
If you use Roon today there is no way in hell that you can live with Spark as the main solution for streaming to an Expert. Just the way Roon handles updates and problem and the fact that they have their own official forum were they help out people with all sorts of problem and that is on so many different platforms.
I dont think we get anything near a SMS-200 if it had the same functions and performance of that I think we would be happy.
I wonder what will happen to AIR3 with this new streamerboard, will it live on or just pass on to the shadows of the dead......

Probably a lot of people will skip the board update and will keep going with the current AIR 3.0.# (whichever .# works for you) that allows streaming with Roon. If you are on mac you will miss DSD streaming but at least the PCM seems to work reliably. I am on 3.0.2 and has been working fine since I installed it. I am not even bothering to move to .4
If in the future I will feel I really miss DSD I will look to some other solution. But I agree with Axel I would be happy to get the money of the board back....
