Half of 100 who did some unofficial survey, according to an earlier post.

I'm not in favour of this open forum driving of what may or may not go into Core. 

Love him or hate him, Steve Jobs was a bit of a genius and he never asked customers about how to take a product forward. Quite the opposite, he maintained absolute secrecy and effectively told the customers what was good for them. And you know what? It worked. He created the largest company in the world that way.

I truly wish Devialet had simply said nothing at all about Core until it was ready. I bought my Devialet with the free upgrade, but I bought it based on the product as it was at the time. If they never mentioned Core at the time I would have still bought it.

I think it was a marketing mistake, but perhaps with the benefit of hindsight.

Devialet themselves say they don't take any particular notice of what's said here on Devialetchat, so your comment "this open forum driving of what may or may not go into Core" does come across a tiny bit melodramatic.

Not wanting to get on your bad side, and not trying to downplay what you have said as everyone has there own opinion, you've every right the same as everyone else has to express their feelings.

Roon does have an ever expanding Partner listing, which only keeps growing, so it would not only be a benefit to those who are asking for it to be included with the Core Infinity, but it would be another attractive feature for potential customers of Devialet. Off course, which feature takes priority is up to Devialet, but I really don't see why it's a mistake for them to listen to their customer base. Steve Jobs did help Apple to expand into the Global Company it has become today, but not every decision he made is an example to be followed (he did make mistakes along the way also).

For the Core Infinity a 100% fully functioning board should be first priority, followed by Operating Software, then finally by it's features (proposed features only work, if the board works, and it's operating software is error free).

There appears to be some animosity creeping into some of the comments on this thread, and I would hope that everyone maintains the friendly environment that Devialetchat has always had.

Hope you continue enjoying your Expert, and everyone else (eventually) gets what they're hoping for regarding the Core Infinity.

It seems that a campaign here to bombard "official" Devialet channels resulted in the Devialet website posting board being closed down when the Devialet doors opened this morning

Not sure what you mean, worked ok letting me post only a few minutes ago on the Quentin Sannié | Core Infinity Software thread
