Devialet and Obsolescence?

[ozthepoz]

New hardware for expert line is coming soon that' s true. What' s it is, should be a surprise.

So, I was in Paris at the weekend and popped into the Devialet Maison for a quick nose around. I didn't learn too much (the guys in there clearly knew a lot more than they were prepared to say) but I did pick up the following snippets;

 - The motherboard for the O d'A is completely new, and will likely form the basis of the next generation systems. No clue as to what these might look like but probably not imminent. 

 - There may well be a new release of software around the time of the Munich festival; couldn't say for sure but would "fit in with the annual upgrade schedule". 

 - Any new release will probably integrate the phantoms and the expert range through the Dialogue. The vision is a totally connected system regardless of which Devialet(s) you have. 

All this from a very non-committal young French sales person, so take it with a pinch of salt. 

Going back to the point raised by the OP; all technology is obsolete, but I think Devialets are less obsolete than most products out there and they still sound great.
