Just wanted to know how Dione and Arc compare each other. Is the 1500e more worth buying a Dione over ARC. Is Atmos better produced on Dione and is it better to play music with Dione. I'm struggling which one to get. If somebody have listened both of these sounder please give me some thoughts about these soundbars.

These are not the right ones to compare.
Sennheiser Ambeo maybe.
The Dione is fairly the only one that will work without Sub.
Best is to try out.
There are only 2 issues with that box. No DTS - the workaround is LPCM.
Apple TV does that anyway despite Dolby Atmos. And for discs I would recommend a Panasonic where you can decide to have Bitstream for Dolby and LPCM for DTS.
The 2nd ist the poor software support by Devialet. Wer are waiting for more than a year to fix some small issues.
Still - for me the best soundbar on the market, when like to avoid a sub.

I have a Dione, my son has the Sonos Arc plus a Sonos mini sub. The Dione is at least as good as the Sonos Arc + mini Sub. Since you don't need a sub with the Dione, I would say the Sonos combo with the sub costs about as much as the Dione. But you don't have the option to add rear speakers with the Dione, so you miss the rear channels which the Dione only simulates with top firing speakers. For music the Dione is in my opinion vastly superior when listening with spatial enhanced stereo sound. Dione then gives you a dynamic and open sound very close to a pair of phantoms.
