World domination...by being stuck to 24/192 and broken software. Consumer are not walking dead...or Zombies who like shiny objects. When I pay £12000 I want a bloody good reason for not delivering on your promises. And just in case someone from Devialet is reading...your streamer board better delivery the performance or you will see a lot Devialet listing on EBay.
"your streamer board better delivery the performance or you will see a lot Devialet listing on EBay" I guess I'll be the lucky one. Love the second hand market.

This thread is almost a year old now, but I have to say that over that last year I cannot recall seeing an advertisement for the Devialet Expert Pro, until last night that is.
In this months (February?) edition of Hifi News and Record Review features a two page advert for the Pro, featuring a lovely cut-away picture of the copper base and innards, text about SAM, RAM and yes, even Core Infinity. The second page is a dealer listing. There was some speculation that Devialet were going a little quiet with show attendances, advertising etc., waiting quietly until the new Devialet OS Board was established. Maybe just now they are confident to re-emerge into the spot light?

Devialet have been advertising in Hifi Plus. Just checked the December and January issues, they're in there.

I get the sense that Quentin Sannie and the management team are in this to make the best hi-fi they can, but to please the investors they have to promote the Phantoms. Phantoms, and embedded adh technology (eg in the Sky sound box etc) is what's going to justify all the investment, but - in the same way car companies maintain a Formula 1 team* - there is still an interest in leading edge development.
*Disclaimer - I know bugger all about F1.

The Sky sound box does not use ADH, just Class D, apparently. They strike me as a company who have great, eye-catching ideas, but consistently fail to make products that live up to the marketing hype, either because it costs too much to do so, or because they simply don't have the ability.

I think Devialet has not lost so much interest in the pro series but have postponed the marketing campaign for PRO/CI -board after the quite desasterous „launch“ in November.
I remember the CEO‘s letter in November with a couple of announcements which didn’t happen in time including a press release in late Nov., which is still pending.
Now they seem to have become more realistic, work feverishly to improve the software and simultaneously start the advertisement campaign, maybe in order to prepare some reviews. I assume the official press release will come not before we have a first official CI software.
All together, after loosing the christmas buisness they seem to have gone back to work and to be more prudent regarding announcements and scedules. And hopefully they replaced some heads in their software development team...

I started this thread in March 2017 and since then we saw very few activities from Devialet. At least the expert PRO now is slightly more prominently placed on the Devialet homepage.
But now after the launch of the CI board with official software and the 210 PRO being delivered to the dealers I really wonder when we will see the first reviews at least for the 210.
