Just doing some simple calculations. With the 800 going to 1000 that's an increase of 25% so (speculating, like the last 48 pages) that brings us from:
120/200/250/400/800 to
150/250/310-ish/500/1000
That means the old 170 could end up being a 250 on steroids. Not knowing the price of admission yet, it looks like an upgraded 170 could be an absolute bargain.
Now, there has been quite a bit of complaining going on in the past about AIR and Devialet's hopeless communication skills but, just looking at it as a stand alone DAC/Amplifier that's possibly going to sound like nothing else out there for even double the money I think Devialet can still be pretty chuffed with their achievements.
