I'm sorry, much as I love the sound of my 440 Pro CI and my Dione Soundbar, Devialet as a company will receive no more of my hard earned cash ...
They promised upgradeability which they didn't deliver, they didn't maintain their app, their general software support across their range of speakers sucks and their soundbar is plagued by the same HDMI fault across multiple TV sets after 3 years of owning it.
Granted my 440 just got upgraded with a Digital to AES/EBU and it's the best I've ever heard it.
I'm fed up with Companies, politicians and any other entity that considers it acceptable to make false promises and never deliver. It's a modern phenomenon, so I exercise the only recourse I have ... I no longer support them by buying more of their products.
Given Devialet's financial woes, it seems to me the writing is on the wall.
It might be prudent to make a few backup / different configurations because when they go bankrupt, you can be sure we'll also loose the ability to access the configurator.
