Air 3.0.4 Officially Released

[mdconnelly]

Is it me or has there been surprisingly little interest in this AIR release on DC?

I think the interest in the expert line has died down all together.  Not many talking about upgrading anymore.  Some people have probably just moved on the other products.  Devialet has quit adding new features to the firmware, we used to get excited about that ever 6 months.  Very view Pro series magazine reviews. Zero recent Devialet talk on the various audiophile forums.

Devialet's plan to put a Devialet in everyone's house is slowly back firing.

I tend to think that forum chatter increases most under two circumstances...

1) Something new and exciting is being released and reported, or
2) When there are problems

Having been a Devialet Expert owner for the last year and a half, it does seem that the 2nd reason tends to dominate.

But truthfully, I'm a quite content Expert Pro owner these days without much to report.   I was pleased to see AIR 3.0.4 finally released, but it felt like more of an "it's about time" reaction than something exciting.   But I'm happy it's working well now and find myself using it more than my uRendu of late.   

We're all anxious to hear about the streaming board but my guess is that it could be summer before we hear more, and certainly Devialet has done nothing to get us excited about it or anything else about the Experts since the Pro release.   A partial pic of a board on the Dev site is hardly sufficient to generate much chatter.
