I was only enquiring with the dealer regarding the new upgrade price. They previously quoted me AUD$6K for single upgrade to D250, which was only a small bit dearer than what the good folks in Europe/UK paid (expected to pay more for shipping from Oz to France and back).
Now with the CRAZY pricefor upgrading a pair of D-Premiers to a 1000 Pro AUD$22K (£13K)., I will have to wait and see if this is the typical cost from Devialet (irrespective of location) or is it the Oz distributor fleecing us Ozzie's.
Until I find out which it is, then I won't know which way to go. If as Brain said earlier it's about £5K for upgrade from D800 to 1000Pro, then would expect a part additional cost for pair of D-Premier's to a 1000 Pro - say band within £6-7K, which is a 20%-40% additional premium (inclusive shipping back to France), then I would seriously look at scraping the money together.
Will have to wait and see what costing's come out over the next few days/weeks
Another thing to consider in your case is that your speakers will never get the SAM treatment either so you're looking at a streamer that might come out next year and you don't know how good it's going to be plus the SQ improvements. You might get the same SQ improvement with a A$22,000.- streamer.
It's a fact that we're now not getting the deals we had a few years ago when the A$ was buying US$1.10 Life was pretty good there for a while.
