This is the most interesting debate from of all these recent threads about upcoming updates and hardware changes as it seems to expose the apparently haphazard marketing strategy coming out of Paris.
Of course, once you pointed out the O d'A was released with limited fanfare but then it is quickly superceded by the 1000Pro and all other current users are advised there is an upgrade path for their units but without any mention of timeline or cost. So in a sense, offending your premier clients, the recent O d'A buyers, while effectively stalling sales of current stock and negatively driving down resale value for other current users, the efforts from Devialet seem slightly deranged.
Love my D400 but I have to question these strategies.
