I've gone to HK AVShow yesterday. I went to the Devialet's HK dealer's room and met Julien Bergère. Had a little chat with the gentleman, and I've asked question about the upgrade schedule of OdA, why are we the last group to be upgraded, is it because it's "free"?
The following is a quote though not word-for-word from the man, and yes, I've asked his permission to quote:
He said that OdA has already got most of the hardware of V6 platform, the only things missing is the PSU and the forthcoming DevialetOS card. He also stressed that we ARE their VIP, and we will be the first ones to get the DevialetOS card. Hence the upgrade date in 2017! OdA has the new MagicWire and the new ADH in place! I guess the motherboard has to be replaced to accommodate the new DevialetOS card.
Will try to post some pics from the show later.

Hi waikeywi,
Yes, it's my honor that I've the chance to talk with the good gentleman Julien and got his recommendation before I made my decision to brought the Od'A.
He said that the Od'A and LE1000pro is 99% same hardware, and will get free upgrade in 2017 to have 100% same HW as 1000pro (except the outlook).
Their main difference is that the Od'A does not have provision for PLC (mainly for the connection with Phantom). Both Od'A and 1000pro still need the upgrade for the DevialetOS card at 2017, the OS card for 1000pro can be installed by Squarewave at HK but the installation for Od'A must ship back to Paris.
So I think (only my guess) the component of Od'A is already equal to V6 but some circuit board layout or connection pin is not the same as the "finalized" version LE1000pro, that make the Od'A still need to replace the main board in order to fit the new DevialetOS card.
