- did you had the confirmation the oda will have to come back to France for the upgrade meaning it can't be done locally ?
- are you believing in the promisse of free permanent upgrade for oda owners ? Or is it a 'marketing' trick

The Od'As will have to go back to France since the upgrade will involve replacing both motherboards.
Regarding the "free permanent upgrades" this only applies to both the OS board and platform 6, in other words full 1000 PRO status.

"Thank you for your message.
By permanent we mean only this offer.
Meaning that if you purchase a D900 now, you will be able all your life to upgrade it to a 1000 pro."
Once I had recovered from Oceane's undeniable charm, I had to conclude that it was indeed a marketing trick, or rather misleading at the very least. Having said that, let's be honest, did anyone think that you would get an upgrade to the latest top of the range Devialet product for the rest of your days? For someone lucky enough to have a few decades more to live, that would made the Od'A the greatest audio bargain in all history.
