Core Infinity board

[octaviars]

I who owns both Expert amps and Phantom/Dialog sees this from two angles. I like the way how my 440 sounds no problem with that , I can wait for the streamerboard no problem with that BUT I own a Phantom that is controlled with Spark and Dialog and Devialets constant failiure to fix bugs int this controll platform is rather bad. Some problems have been there fore months perhaps over a year and no fix for it. Dropouts in the sound when you use the optical input on the Dialog, Spark app lives it`s on life and quits playing when it wants to sometimes, erases the playlist and well compared to Roon it is just really bad.....

This is the big problem for me with Devialet and the streamerboard if they cant get the existing products to function I have very little faith in this streamerboard perhaps I sound negative but living with Devialet non Expert products is not so easy.

This is worrisome if the Phantom line and its associated software is, as you write, plagued with design faults and unresolved issues.  Not being familiar with the product, I had niavely assumed all was well.   Does this tell us the company is fighting battles on both fronts, the Expert and Phantom lines?

There have been lots of different problems with the software in Dialog and Spark some have been fixed but some have been there for months so I see all this in a bigger picture. If the software development cant fix these problems in Dialog/Spark what makes them capable of building a streaming solution to implement in the Expert series without all these problems. Perhaps they can do it but if Devialet builds the streaming solution to the Experts on the same platform as Dialog /Spark I see no meaning to even bother with trying to use it and will continue to use AIR and Roon. I may seem a bit pesimistic but my experience with Devialet software to controll their products is not good.....

If Devialet as they say have Expert series as their main focus and the streamerboard is supposed to be someting special why wont they show that in Munich? Almost every other brand have Munich as one of the places to show their new products as Munich is perhaps the most imoprtant place today to show the products. Seems a bit strange to me or perhaps Devialets focus is elswere and not in the highend market
