HI Jukemark,
Welcome to the Forum! There is a great deal of good information here, and some curious characters as well; just as you will find with any sport.... It is a very good community.
I think that AIR is installed on the Dev. at the factory, but there may be updates, depending on the date of manufacture, on Devialet's website. I haven't been there recently, but it should be found if you follow a link for 'Expert' and possibly go to the bottom of the page. I thought I saw AIR updates under 'Firmware' but again, I haven't done any downloads from there in months and they do change their website from time to time. You may need to go to the 'log in' page and try again. Perhaps you have already done that, but it is different than logging in on their main page.
I would confirm again with your dealer about the Dialogue and the Expert line. Everything I have read and been told by my dealer is that Dialogue is not compatible with the Expert products, and though it may be eventually, there is no estimated date for that development.
We don't get Qobuz in Canada, so I can't offer anything specific, but you may need either an external streamer that gets various streaming services. That could be as simple as using an Apple Airport Express, and one of the optical inputs, or a Sonos Connect, or something more exotic and expensive (chat with the other characters here who have tried all sorts of streaming options).
But I'm skeptical about the Dialogue working with the D400. However, I know that quite a few members here have both Phantoms and Expert line products and a Dialogue and they will be able to give more reliable advice than I can.
