Devialet UPnP App - What can we do to convince Devialet to enter the field? - seb - 20-Nov-2019
As we are now approaching the DOS2 "age", I was wondering if Devialet has any plans to provide us with a UPnP player (better even OpenHome) solution for HiRes music streaming? I know many people crave for RAAT but not everyone buys into the Roon universe.
Actually, it feels a bit "strange" to use Linn Kazoo on my Mac and Kazoo and Lumin on my iOS devices to manage my Devialet Phantoms Music experience. In a way I am happy now, because it is responsive and offers more features. Still ...
I guess Devialet not even has to reinvent the wheel and possibly could license or use OpenSource code. It could even put Dialog to use again as a streaming server. Maybe they could also include Webradio apart from the streaming providers. Even if they would not decide to create a server app (there are plenty available and "backend" anyway"), a nice looking multi-platform front end app would be highly appreciated by me. What do you think?

Considering the software skills (hum) of Devialet, I think it's a great idea that they keep on minimum (but working) software...
Let's them have DOS 2 works flawlessly, and then they can add feature even new app.

I know what you mean and I totally agree that DOS2 has priority now. Would still like to see a more detailed roadmap though. What about a deal with e.g. "Audirvana", even if it is a "stripped"/white labeled version or we could get Audirvana at a discounted price? Just an idea.

Rather than develop something internally, I think Devialet should recommend and support (& work with the developers on) a few UPnP apps, at least one for Android and iOS.

I don't want them to enter the field! They need to focus on fixing what they have, and delivering what they promised, before they do anything else.
We still don't have a proper low latency solution, nor surround sound, nor a decent remote (IR, please!), nor Airplay 2.
They already got distracted making albums of content. I just want my speakers to be reliable and able to do the basics.

Why don't you use one that will be a billion times better than something coming from Devialet.
Devialet should work and focuse on how to increase the Dlna/Upnp compatibility with other Player.
Once they'll do this part of the job then will have nothing to fear.

Well said. 100% agree

Totally agree as well. They need to focus on stability (which would include making uPnP rock solid for those who use it), AirPlay 2 (on the roadmap next) and then hopefully Roon RAAT.
