If whatever they're releasing is actually a replacement/improvement over the Expert Pro line, I ponder what would it take for me to buy it. Like @ada, I've been hugely disappointed in the lack of Devialet pursuit of their CI architecture not to mention annoying bugs. I've still got my 440 Pro and still love what it sounds like, but I cringe when I need to make a configuration change. There have always been headaches with the Configurator with dual mono setups.
So, with that said, I still might consider it if they offered a reasonable upgrade/trade-in path which would tell me that their Expert Pro customers have not been forgotten. But I would still need to get over my lack of trust of Devialet to go there. It will be interesting to see what they release, but I won't be surprised if we all exhale a huge groan once they unveil whatever it is.
