I live in West Africa & bought my Le400 from a dealer in Germany in April this year. By the time I was able to setup my gear properly & just about managed to carryout a burn-in of 1000 hrs, Devialet announces as upgrade program.
Now, this is indeed quite upsetting news as I am quite settled with my setup & ready to go for the long haul ...
These guys want be to plonk EUR 6,000 plus I will have to get my units all the way to Europe & then back.
No-way ... I am done for now !!

At the Oxford Audio Event the new streamer board was described as a 'dealer fit item'.

Do you know if end user fit is an option? Logistically speaking my dealer is too many miles away besides I have the aptitude.

No worries, just curious. Thanks.

As a D1->D250 owner who paid a fortune in Japan for the upgrade, I don't find the proposed upgrade pricing attractive.
I will keep my D250 and will use that cash for something else, probably a Nikon 105mm f1.4 and Nikon 300mm f4 PF (already bought btw).
Cheers,
Bernard
