Upgrade details

[octaviars]

Re: the streaming board - I'd like to think they've thought of approaching an existing manufacturer - e.g Sonore with their microRendu - but that's not really Devialet's way is it? (!) Technically I'm interested to see how they can update the OS on the new streaming board without removing it each time. I guess they must have the capability already built in but it's quite tricky stuff.

That would be nice! An OEM version of the microRendu inside our Expert amps... connected to the internal i2s bus. But then AIR must be ported to Linux/ARM. And there are lots of other problems arising from this too. Power to the board, firmware for two different architectures within the same box. As you say; tricky stuff. Confused reported in a post further up that Devialet is thinking of an ARM based streamer board. Makes it easier for them to follow streamer trends if they choose to do this.

I dont think they (Devialet) will source a solution from somebody else. But the functionality of a microRendu built in on a streamerboard would be a darn nice feature.

We can just wait and see no more to do, hopfully they will come forth with some information regarding the streamerboard when they release information about the upgrade. I can wait for it if they get it right this time and comes out with a stellar streaming functionality........
