It seems for me that Devialet has a lot of problems not only with their software development and the customer support, but increasingly also with their distribution.
I sounds like the typical history of a company, which is to quickly grown (most of them die the insolvency death or will bought from a bigger player - for Apple it would be a great and "cheap" investment).
So I think they have to focus on this and not trying to sell a new Expert line in 2016.

Hi folks.
What I have been told just recently is that Devialet will not exhibit but instead the german importer ( Audio Components) and some people from the Devialet team will be in Munich.
Also I was told that some new things about the expert series will be released at that time. But I were not able to receive any further information about details....

I can only assume that, if they are not going to Munich, we can expect the firmware bump sooner!! I would rather they upgraded the iOS remote app than give us Spark on Experts (via Dialogue presumably). That would be much more useful to everybody (well almost everybody).

I'm genuinely surprised anyone would want that. Or Dialogue compatibility with Expert…. I guess I just don't get it, but if either of those are 'the stars of the show' in the upcoming release, it will be a huge disappointment from my POV.
I agree 100%.

Also, is it just me or do a lot of people on this forum at the moment 'know someone in the know' at Devialet…. 
I think dealers know a bit more than we do; I've heard a few "don't tell anyone but X will probably be coming soon" stories from dealers. As they're just rumours, I rarely pass them on.
I gather that Spark/Dialogue integration may be on the agenda, but - as that's underwhelming for most of us - there may well be more. Wouldn't be surprised to see UPNP integration too, but that's pure speculation on my part.
