Some progress it would seam. I must admit I did have a chuckle at Dr Tone and Hifi_swlon marvelling at the incredible speed Devialet can react to social media, although I am sure their normal cynicism will return before too long. For me, I'm not so sure Devialet were that speedy, the point being that there has been the odd response on Twitter and Facebook for a few weeks now, usually related to the streamer board or communication. (Indeed, Dr Tone has been Twitter responding for months now, back from the #AIRisajoke days) What I think has changed in the last week is such responses appeared to be gaining some good momentum, so this may well have motivated Devialet to react. I guess we will never know. One question I have to those who have posted responses to Devialet Tweets or on Facebook, is did anyone get a personal message(s) from Devialet in response? I'm not asking anyone to post Devialet's private responses on here, that would be unfair as the term 'private' means something, I'm just curious as to if anyone did get a response. (I received some PM's from Devialet a week ago, following a response I made on a Devialet Tweet) Anyway, whatever the reasons are, this appears to have worked, so well done to anyone who made the effort to post something.
What we do know for sure is that we now have a picture of a quarter of a circuit board, posted in sufficiently low resolution such that you cannot discern the numbers on the chips, or anything else of interest. So the picture is a bit rubbish to be honest. For me, I think the big prize here is the 'Comments' section. My hope is that this comment section will prove to be informative. I think what is needed is that this slowly fills up with some good considered questions, then we can hope this will prompt Devialet to come up with some responses and maybe a bit of dialogue. In this regard, I think Warren (wdw) makes a very good point in the post above. I think there is a risk that the 'comments' section could descent into being a conduit for trolling Devialet, this would not sit well with Devialet and I am sure the page would then quietly disappear. However, if the comment section simply fills up with decent questions, then there is just a chance that that this new page might prove to be useful. In that regard, I see Gordy and Warren have started posting questions. So kudos to Gordy for being first in! Plus I think Gordy and Warren have pitched the tone of their queries about right, so a great start. Let's hope it stays positive and we get some input from Devialet.
