The following has just appeared on Devialet's OS Streamer Board page:
"2017, April 11th Update - The Devialet OS Board will be internal and will replace both Duet and Wifi boards
- New powerful dual-band 2.4/5GHz wifi and Gigabit Ethernet modules
- The OS board will feature a Linux-based operating system tailored for audio applications and streaming
- There will be no music storage on Devialet OS board
- The Devialet OS board will be offered and installed for free to all Expert Pro and Original d'Atelier owners"
Not really that much more but probably a sop to those who have commented on the lack of info from Devialet.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry! I mean, it is almost like they are deliberately trying to be annoying.
Although I am very pleased that they have confirmed that the OS board will be "tailored for audio applications and streaming", I was a little worried that it might be tailored for something else.

If it gives a decent, reliable wi-fi connection without having to have the D sitting right on top of an access point that would be a useful step forward in itself. Provided it doesn't then cause other problems, of course... Not sure whether that constitutes €1500-worth, though.

Phew! 
Quote:The OS board will feature a Linux-based operating system tailored for audio applications and streaming
Which audio applications? Which streaming services? I think for many on here the detail is actually quite important.
I think the situation is fast approaching the farcical.

I can feel it in my waters that it will be solely tailored to extending the use of Spark to the Expert line, and offering Tidal and Qobuz, but NOT ROON compatibility. I hope that I am wrong, but I fear not  .

I think they will show in Munich the same as last year...only by the German Distributor 'Audio Components'. 2016 they played L’Original d’Atelier with a Wilson Sasha. What was odd though that I don't remember to have seen any Phantoms on the fair though that's their leading product for world domination 
If I were Devialet I wouldn't present a Beta Streamerboard in Munich. I see them like to 'keep' an image of clean and perfect that they still have in the world of 'Non Devialet Owners' and a Beta doesn't fit in that...also they don't have the balls to stand the questions of their customers.

These are exact specifications of Cubietruck Plus SBC, which sell for 99 USD.
