Well done Markus, kudos to you and thank you for sharing! I'm actually kind of relieved to see that Devialet seems to have finally gotten the message.
A public discussion area on their website is IMO the biggest/best news and probably a big step for Devialet to take. It'll perhaps frighten them a bit considering the current tone here but I think it'll benefit both Devialet and us users a lot. Especially when they staff it with enthousiastic and knowledgeable people and not try to excercise too much control over it's contents.
Now let's see how they'll follow up on their intentions.
@Confused, what I think is meant is that they're deliberating if they'll bundle the upgrade with the new hardware/software (streaming/OS board) that's ready at the time of upgrade later this year but perhaps not mature enough yet or if they'll wait until it actually meets their set goals. Initially I read it like you did, so them still being in the design phase and looking on the market, but in vain, for the right components to implement their visioned product. Of course I could be completely wrong.
I would have liked to see Devialet wait until they had actually finished this new hardware and any other hardware or optimizations made before announcing/releasing any upgrade. After all it's been only two years since the previous line was released. Make a new product/upgrade really worthwile for your customers and fix your current issues first.
