We are visiting Devialet in Versailles and has already been surprised with a great news!
A thought many Phontom owners toys look and often proves to be a reality. It will namely shortly be possible to set up Devialet's acclaimed speaker surround (5.0). We come with more information consecutively!
If the exciting news is something like surround Phantom system, it is a really very bad news for Expert line users who are mostly focusing on SQ 2 channel playback plus a reliable AIR. Integration with Dialog and Phantom is not a big deal for me.
Based on what I read on this forum, a lot of people have been struggling with 2-channel Phantoms. Imagine the fun and games when there are five of the buggers

So, they got dealers together to announce something they promised a year ago? Sounds about right for Devialet these days.

Well, we're all going to have a to wait and see I guess, but this thread has certainly set my expectations low. And I mean they were low already….

Guillaume and I both texted Jon of Oxford Audio Consultants (which I guess is the UK's top dealership) thinking that my net spending of c.£70k and Guillaume's of quite a bit might get a morsel of what's happening at Versailles today - but Jon has had to sign an NDA so his lips are sealed.
So we speculate that the hot news is one of:
1 New small cheap DAC/amplifier (boring)
2 New board to replace the existing AIR one (without any AIR solution promised)
3 Dialog integration with Expert (even more boring)
4 active wireless rechargeable headphones (though this has been denied)
5 domestic liquorice allsorts* making machine (most likely)
* I live in Pontefract, the home of the liquorice allsort

I certainly believe that AIR will not be fixed by SW alone, but needs HW too, so #2 gets my vote
