I recently upgraded my Focal Diablo Utopias to a pair of discounted Focal Stella Utopias (which are amazing). I've read most of the posts here, regarding upgrading from the 800 to 1000, but I was wondering if it's still worthwhile at this time? Is there likely to be a Devialet 1200 (or whatever) soon? Also, one of my only pet hates about the 800 was the awful wifi performance. Has this been solved with the 1000? I never successfully got the 800 to play 24 bit/192 khz without constant dropouts, regardless of my router, how close it was etc. I've been using a MacBook Pro with a USB cable (or a turntable). Would love to start using my old Synology NAS as a media server again.
Any comments would be very appreciated.
Power Supply is one of the biggest upgrade, the Expert PRO performs better with some speakers that is difficult to drive for normal EXPERT.
The current version of software/firmware is very stable.
I am looking forward to the EXPERT 1200 PRO!!!
Think I'm going to upgrade to the 1000. Unfortunately, I ordered a set of Nordost Valhallas V2 speaker cable earlier today, so it may be a few weeks off now.
