Pro Upgrade program ending

[yabaVR]

Hi TDA.

I'm far from an expert on any of this stuff, but I think that it is probable, and reasonable, that the upgrade from 'plain' Expert to Pro series will end at some point. Some have commented and complained about the previous upgrade availability, where it was given a limited time window for upgrades, then extended. I didn't expect the Pro upgrade availability to be open forever, but as you note, Devialet seems to be saying that the upgrade opportunity is ending shortly.

I think that two D250's make an 'old' D800. You would need two D250 Pro's to make a D1000 Pro, so you are taking a chance on a D-Prem or an Expert D250 if you think you want a D1000 Pro.

As to the sound quality and the upgrade question, that is just something that each person decides on their own. If you are satisfied, or even prefer, the sound of the Expert series to the Pro series, then you are buying in at the right time. Buy cheap and listen happy.

Hi Damon, 

Thanks for the Reply. 

i know that i would have to upgrade a D250 to a pro to ever have the posibility to go D1000. 

so i will just have to see if i should buy a used D250 and get it upgraded, or buy and new D250 pro. 

But there must some who are in a terrrible situation. Have bought a expensive D250 only a while back, and then finds out only after some months that it will be upgraded. and then will have to pay a significant big amount to get it upgraded. I would be furious..... 

I think the upgrades are to expensive... Devialet is actually helping depreciating their own products where before, they where actually very attractive second hand.

Actually you can't buy a 250PRO 'new' because they do no longer sell the 250-line. It's only 130->220->440->1000 at them moment. But they do update the old D-Premier/250s to PRO.
So get yourself the cheapest set of D-Premiers and update them to 1000PRO. If I'd have the cash I'd definitely go that way.
