Invitation to send your PRO to Paris

[thumb5]

Devialet Expert Pro in itself is a technological marvel. The sleek design, combination of class A and class D amplification, the high quality DAC inside. I have yet to manage to surpass the sound quality of my D440 Pro even with gear that cost £20K+. When a company like Devialet can make hardware like this in the first place then why all the mistrust. I shall give them a pass on the software, but you can't fault the hardware.

I understand what you're saying, and applaud your enthusiasm, but without working software the new Core Infinity board -- and the rest of the Expert series amps, for that matter -- are just very expensive paperweights.  Software is an entirely integral part of Devialet's products, and they will have to learn how to plan and manage software development properly if they are to survive in their chosen market(s).  Part of that process is to under-commit and over-deliver: more savvy/mature audio technology companies, such as Roon and Sonos to name a couple I'm aware of, have already learned that lesson which is why they very rarely commit to supporting specific features let alone within concrete timescales.
