Hi Gurux,
In some ways you might be right; UPnP support seems to be on the top of most people's wish list and getting rid of the IR sensor wan't a smart move either. I can't talk about cables as I haven't looked into that yet. Where I think you (and some others on other fora (is that the right plural for forum? just guessing) are missing the point is the increased possibilities of the next generation Devialets / upgrades. Every manufacturer aims to improve their products and that's what we as customer expect. From the manufacturers point of view; When they improve on their older product they have a better chance of selling their latest. With Devialet though, there's the difference that they can improve on their existing products and that changes the whole game. Those who bought a 250 feel cheated (except those who now own 800s) and those who bought a 200 (me included) are over the moon with the extra 30Watt.
Also, the improvements you get from Devialet are much larger than any company has ever produced. That takes a bit of getting used to.
You could also say that it is slack of most other manufacturers out there that they don't give ANY improvements on their products as soon as they leave the shop floor. You want the latest? You have to pay for it.
I sincerely hope for you and those who were expecting UPnp and room correction that it is just a matter of time before they come out. I'm sure it is. After all, they want 'everyone to own' a Devialet and the only way to do that is to stay ahead of the game.
If I were you I wouldn't sell my 250 just yet. I would rather you come back to this forum in due time to express your delight with the upgrade you've been waiting for so long and just received than to tell us you're angry again because the upgrade came out just after you sold your 250 and now you want it back...
If it makes you feel any better; I own a Golf GTI Mk6. The Mk7 is cheaper, faster, lighter, uses less fuel and has more features etc. That's just the marry go round of big business. On the plus side, If I want to go faster, I can! Just buy a Mk7. So buy another 250, get bigger speakers and be happy!
Cheers,
Pim
