It could very well be that they have temperature problems with the new board. The expert is quite densely packed. To imagine that Devialet basically adds a Dialog into the expert pro with very little temperature headroom and passive cooling only is quite a challenge. The Dialog on its own gets quite hot. And of course the software is the tool that needs to actively manage the temperature by lowering computational speed when not necessary or even turn off parts of the circuit when not immediately in use. This has then little to do with skills of SW engineers, but is much more a challenge for everyone, starting with selection of functions and features that can run in parallel or need to be removed at all like e.g. Dante protocol chip. Only speculating here, but such things are often reasons for delivery delays.
