Despite reports from some of poor quality finish, I must say that mine seems fine, although the rubberised finish does seem to be a likely dirt/dust magnet! As others have reported, instruction manual is so small as to be almost invisible!

It will now sit in cupboard until software update released for use with Expert Line (hopefully in line with Munich in May).

I got mine yesterday as well and whilst it seems well made mine has silver specs of what I guess are spray from the little silver vents on each side. Unless of course it's intentional and all part of the design,but I think it's just a bit of poor quality control.

No silver specks on mine - I feel cheated .

I guess mine is a top of the range silver Dialog

The instruction manual is hilariously tiny!  I also found a top quality eathernet cable in the box.  (Grey and unbranded). Bonus!

As a point of note, it's 3 months late, and I have not recieved even a single email from Devialet to advise about delivery delays, the fact it won't actually work with an expert amp etc.  Very poor!  And some folk got freebies!

And for what it's worth, I have absolutely zero confidence that an update to allow expert range compatibility will be available by Munich, I think Devialet have too many things to fix at the moment and this just won't be high enough priority.  We shall see......

"Thank you for your confirmation on the reception.  Unfortunately we do not yet have a precise date on the subject. We will keep you informed as soon as the compatibility is ready."

So who is still confident that all will be in place in time for Munich?

I have connected the supplied Ethernet cable and placed the DIALOG next to this morning's copy of the racing post.  I have allowed the Ethernet cable to uncoil over today's runners and riders for the Grand National.  The end of the DIALOG cable has just selected "Rebel Rebellion" at 50:1.  I figure that I could stick the DIALOG on eBay to make a few quid, and put £50 e/w on Rebel Rebellion, thus winning me the asking price for an Aurender.  Sorted!
