This is one of the most exciting things I have seen related to Devialet in a while.

Was painless to do, given a good hardware baseline. The Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) requirements go above and beyond basic Windows 11 system requirements, such as a higher cpu and basic minimum graphics requirements. they are listed elsewhere not the point of this post.
In my case finding a good hardware baseline was the most painful part. But stubbled on to a perfect host….
The newly release Windows Dev Kit 2023. an arm device running windows 11. Available today: Windows Dev Kit 2023 aka Project Volterra - Windows Developer Blog
I know, I know if you ever ran Windows RT from 2012 your probably rolling your eyes. But 10 years later this right now is in the running to become my primary media pc (which is largely just used to play audio)
Plugged in a Topping D10s DAC (which I used for its TOSLINK) output with the Arch - and it just lit up and worked without any additional software or drivers in fact as soon as I plugged in the usb sound that was already playing just started coming from the speakers. Almost like magic.
The hardest part is getting it all setup.
And the only hackery involved (which these days is not really all that hackery) is finding the APK (the android install package)
“Cliff’s notes:”
1) Start from the Dev kit or equivalent hardware its easy. Available today: Windows Dev Kit 2023 aka Project Volterra - Windows Developer Blog
2) Power on the device.
3) Install the Amazon Appstore (this will trigger the WSA install) (use the Windows Store app search for Amazon Appstore)
4) Once you have the ‘amazon Appstore’ - check it out, install a game, I tried an old mahjong game that worked as well as ever. Now you know the WSA is installed and working.
5) Get the ADB tools SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Developers – specifically: Download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows
6) Get the ‘Devialet app’ android APK - https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=ea8eead4d...YXpl&ntb=1 (the one I used is from APKPure, The 7 Best Sites for Safe Android APK Downloads (makeuseof.com))
7) Follow the steps in this article. How to sideload Android apps using WSA on Windows 11 | Windows Central
• Elevated CMD prompt (run as administrator)
• Adb connect <ipaddress> (from the Developer blade in WSA settings) – note some older guides have out of date UX.
• Adb install <APK>
