Well I think those score 0/10, 0/10, 0/10 and 0/10.
It was confirmed at the Bristol show that the streamer board, promised for June 2017 at its announcement in June 2016, is now scheduled for September 2017.
Given that Expert is "a main focus" I guess that means Devialet are running behind on everything else by 25% or more.
Interesting too that the Devialet brochure at Bristol now focusses on the acronyms ADH, SAM, EVO (as before) and HBI - which appears to have "replaced" AIR. In fact, in the three page brochure, AIR gets no mention anywhere even though wifi does.
The local Devialet team are really nice guys but appear to have little influence over the French operation - when I raised the issue of the dormant Devialet "forum" there was little enthusiasm for triggering any change. It seems clear that instructions to that UK team from the centre focus on expanding the marketing and sales operation and growing sales volumes. Maybe the UK team have tried to influence other issues but just get ignored.
