Vote for SAM request

[Jwg1749]

I think that SAM processing should be a service for all devialet owners to obtain the best performance by own system... so I think that the priority are the "devialet speakers" and not the voted speakers...

I think that's an interesting idea, and it may be something that Devialet look into.

Presumably Devialet could train engineers (e.g. those who work for speaker manufacturers) to run the SAM process. This could be done under license, which would create income for Devialet and ensure confidentiality for the SAM technology.

I can see two advantages for Devialet:
1. It would spread SAM further and faster than is possible at the moment, so creating more potential customers for Devialet hardware.
2. It might work out cheaper for Devialet since they wouldn't have to employ their own engineers: it would shift the labour costs to the speaker manufacturers.

There are possible problems though. Some speaker manufacturers might not be happy at all, especially those who make electronics too. Would Linn want to say to its customers "hey, our speakers have been optimized for use with Devialet!" Almost certainly not. I can imagine manufacturers of active speakers (e.g. ATC) also being reluctant. On the other hand, presumably Focal have been dealing with Devialet, despite being in the same stable as Naim.
