I would be interested in better cross-over functionality and speaker correction past 200Hz but I am thinking that would be not a priority for most expert users.
I am all for speaker correction but room correction is a misnomer as one alters the speaker output and does not correct the room. The room has to be corrected by acoustical means so I hope Devialet continues to not implement room correction.
The main aspect that has to be improved and updated is connectivity to digital data. So one can hope that the "upcoming" streamer board will be a major improvement and make the experts competitive with others recent high end DACs/amps. I am thinking that USB will be never the optimal link and a more audio optimized connection like Ravenna or something similar will/should be the developed. That must be with a wider platform accepted by many more companies as Ravenna is now (Merging and Genelec).

Ok, who's taking bets on when the first customers get their boards installed?
Oh I do not know about firm date I thought I saw mention of a date somewhere, but maybe they will stick to the month.. you never know with Devialet! What if they surprise us this time by being early
I just looked at the announcement email on the other thread and October 17 might just mean October 2017 rather than the 17th October, so maybe we do only have the month to go on?
Has anyone actually seen this Announcement e-mail? As far as I was aware the original poster shared this as a "forthcoming announcement". It was, as I understand it from the Post, going to be officially announced on Monday, but I certainly have not had an official e-mail from Devialet detailing any programme, or any more detail of the new OS Streamer Board.
Am I missing anything .
