It's way too cheap to be built with great parts and I'm quite sure Devialet does not yet recognize there's more to the "bits are bits" dogma.
+1 couldn't agree more

I seem to recall some comments that Devialet had stated Dialog was being sold more or less at cost, and the real retail price should be nearer Euro 1000. So on that basis, you could argue that the Dialog has every chance of sounding as good as AIR and some dedicated streamers. You could also argue that spec wise, it is little different to a NUC or similar. Either way, we will know for sure in 2017, when the Expert compatibility is implemented. (Maybe)
