It would suck if i do the upgrade now and a version is released shortly after
I have no idea when (or even if) the Pro will be replaced, as far as I am aware nobody does. Furthermore, Devialet are one of the most unpredictable companies on the planet, so it really is anyone guess. One point I would make is that the Pro upgrade came about almost by accident. Devialet had the Expert series, and decided to make a 100 off batch of limited edition items, the Original D'Atelier. The Development of the Original D'Atelier was was so successful that it naturally lead to the development of the Pro. So it would be a little misleading to look at the time between the Expert and Pro as an indication as to when a new model will be announced. This is just my thoughts on the matter, as I mentioned before, I really have no idea what Devialet may or may not be planning.
This does beg a question, you mentioned you could obtain a set of D-Premiers, are you not tempted just to run these? I very much enjoyed my time with my "old" Expert D250 / D800. (which sound much the same as the D-Premier) You could try running the integrated Roon AIR, which should be stable. Just (another) thought.
@pvanosta - A little off topic, but I am curious. You mentioned that you did not like the DAC in the Hegel H390, may I ask why? I was luck enough to hear a demo of the Hegel H190 versus the H590 earlier this year. I actually really liked the H590, but found the H190 a little dull and closed in by comparison, hence I was wondering why you did not like the H390 DAC.
