It would seem that the new board is going to be somewhat more sophisticated than the old one, although I was also told at 220 upgrade, that it would be dealer fit, with the possibility to be user fitted, important for me where I live now.
Devialet have announced this new board, so the complete lack of information on any design development is worrying, it would be good to know what their aims are here as for many of us, it has direct influence on our set-ups. Will it be 'computerised' and able to take new features on board using OTA updates, or will it simply be a better AIR implementation with UPNP thrown in? The latter would leave me stone cold and disinterested, and was considered at point of upgrade. The former keeps up the hope that one day, maybe, it will be Roon capable.
Even the CEO's promises have failed to deliver, what they have managed so far on their 'dedicated' forum is next to useless.
I know in my business, as a consultant (structural engineering), that it was a hard lesson I had to learn... never BS your client. If you are late, still in design development, or simply can't meet the deadline...don't bullshit...just tell the truth.
We all have schedules and timelines to keep so these vague and contradictory projections are simply disrespectful. We are owed a more thoughful response.
Perhaps this is a gaulic temperment. saying one thing but not truly expecting it to be believed nor caring if it is. Dunno.
