I consider the expert range a DAC/crossover/amp but not a streamer. Initially limited to red book AIR worked for me: WiFi direct from my Macbook or iPad. It was a simple but limited way to get into computer audio. But since then it never work satisfactory and I am quite annoyed by the discrepancy between Devialet's marketing and technical reality.
I am happy with that my D250 works great as a DAC/crossover/amp and the function I missed for years just got added: time delay within the crossover function! I hoped that the Dialog will be a replacement for AIR but my expectation level now is very low that it will be a functional and reliable solution ever. Also audio is moving constantly like Roon, MQS and streaming (like Tidal) and I think one needs a system which can adapt to these changes and I doubt it will come from Devialet.
