Having produced the Od'A and now announced the 1000, the only logic is to make the technical innards and sound quality exactly the same, which sounds like it will require some changes to the Od'A. Anything else is not defensible.
I can't imagine that, within 5 months, the entire innards of the Od'A will need to be replaced - whereas, after 3(?) years, I could envisage that with the 800.
My memory suggests that Devialet's published specifications for the Od'A were just the same as for the 800. Maybe with the 1000 there will be some adjustments to drive the marketing message. But since I cannot correlate the level of specification change with the degree of sonic change, it's all pretty irrelevant to me, save that I wouldn't want to see any measurements get worse!
