New product launch?

[Celts88]

That's great for you mate. You could have some of the cheapest  and most exclusive (black) 1000Pros around. I bet you're happy the upgrade is nowhere near the 22 grand you were quoted before.

My local dealer is still saying $22k for the upgrade, so don't know what's going on - $8.8k in Europe, but $22k in Oz

Spoke with the Distributor last night. They haven't even set the AUS pricing yet so not sure where the $22k came from. They saw the upgrade pricing in the same email we all got!! They are expecting to hear more from Devialet now that pricing has come out in Europe. My intuition tells me (from my chats) that the D800 upgrade to D1000 will be approx $10k, and i was told the D-Prem might be a little more than that. We can probbaly expect a 10-15% variance on the quoted Euro pricing.

Turn around time of approx 4 weeks for upgrade.

I phoned the dealer today and basically I think he's had enough of it and said for me just to contact Devialet direct, especially as he found out everyone was receiving emails from Devialet with costing. The guy was actually ok about it, but just thought it would actually be quicker for me to go direct and then if I was told to go with the dealer he would follow up.

Those figures sound right for the difference with exchange rate and having to ship Australia - France - Australia.

Enough of that, how did the event go, what did you think of the new 1000Pro, and did you get any answers to your queries (streamer board and is it free with Pro upgrade, remote app, anything about Roon, etc., etc.)
