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.

Your second paragraph, if I interpret it correctly, suggests that a dealer can install the OS card (whether for the 1000 Pro or the Od'A) but the more extensive upgrade for the Od'A (which happens to include the OS card) has to be done in Paris.
The news about the dealer installation of the OS card alone was not something my UK dealer had heard, and what's more not the story told by Devialet at the Oxford Audio event when they said that an 800 Expert upgrade would necessitate the unit being returned to Paris twice, the second purely for the OS card.
