Devialet UPnP App - What can we do to convince Devialet to enter the field?

[seb]

I see and I understand. It seems that many Devialet customers do not trust in the brand to develop a decent user interface /client software. I get it, there are a lot of reasons to not believe in Devialet creating a convincing client software. However, from my personal perspective I see my options quite limited. The best sounding and most affordable solution (so far) was/is Audirvana 3.5 for my Qobuz account and personal library. Now that Audirvana has announced a subscription model for Audirvana Studio I am back to square one. I have to jump through some loops to keep an "old" macOS system running with a hopefully still supported Audirvana 3.5 to listen to "my" music in decent quality (plus streaming). I am not intending to invest in a lifetime Roon subscription to listen to my own ripped music collection and Qobuz in HiRes. There may be people who pay for Roon or a x thousand dollars streaming device without hesitation. I am not. Phantom was created with the promise that it could play HiRes files with utmost fidelity. Well, in order to achieve that you now have to make additional investments. If you would like to stick with CD quality. Ok, there might be more options including Apple AirPlay 2 (for the lucky ones with more modern hardware). If you want to tap the potential of Phantom your options are very limited right now. Why would Devialet not team up with a software company or streaming service to offer an affordable (or even free) one stop solution (what Dialog once offered - still have one around somewhere)? It all got very complicated and it should not be that way. We should be able to enjoy music and not debate technical issues.
