Devialet Dialog not compatible with expert line until mid 2015

[brit]

….It would totally p**s me off if Devialet introduced a Dialogue 2 for use with Expert range - Not too sure a refund would be forthcoming after this time, if that were to be the case  .

Just to clarify before I make anyone even more upset about their Dialogue's - I was joking there (I thought the smiley was enough to cover it)…. but I can completely see that being the case…

It would be relatively simple (but not trivial) to get two pieces of kit they designed to talk to one and other - not least since one would have to assume they designed them with that in mind - so the reality is they've probably got no-one really looking at it.

Seeing how the Phantom release was a bit of a shambles (unfinished software, buggy firmware, no remote, no stands), I can only imagine all resources are focussed there because let's be honest they need that to succeed, and if they sell them by the shedload and people are unhappy because they don't do what they should, the Expert Line's going to be the least of their worries…. it could finish them off.

If I'd bought one on the basis that they said it would be compatible, I would have been pretty pissed off and sent it back by now and just asked for a refund.  It's clearly not going to happen anytime soon, so I can't see how they could refuse if they have publicly announced it will work by a certain time?

Ah yes, missed the smiley, but  . Yes, I am afraid that it has been inertia on my part that has stopped me returning the Dialogue. Now that the subject has arisen again, along with all the reports about its apparent unreliability, I will e-mail Devialet re returning it for a refund  .
