When I first discovered and listened to a Devialet Expert I was blown away... it seems like a true game-changer and while it seemed quite expensive for what it was, it was absolutely worth it to me. Nothing else could do what it did the way it did it. No hesitation. I jumped. If you're here, I suspect you had a similar experience.
When Roon came along I was a bit skeptical. After all, I'd been quite happy using LMS and Squeezeboxes for years. Why would I want to pay for Roon? But I was extremely curious when Roon announced support for Squeezeboxes as endpoints. So I gave the trial a shot... And BAM, another Devialet-like experience! Another big game-changer - this time not just in what I could hear, but in how I listen to and manage my music. Yes, it's a bit pricey relative to other music software, but it is so much more and has to be experienced to fully appreciated.
I still absolutely love my Expert - despite losing confidence in Devialet as a company - but my confidence and respect for Roon Labs continues to grow with each release. I am rooting for Devialet to come around and see the light, but I'm really excited about the next release of Roon that will undoubtedly take it to the next level.
