So the Dialog is in very simple terms a Devialet Aries! Or even a Sonos like device. Seems that Devialet has made the ability to do upnp an inexpensive outboard unit... I do like that it creates its own mesh network ala Sonos.. I wish it had a spdif output in addition to the USB but at $350.00 if it sounds good it could be a game changer.. I wonder though how his impacts AIR, since from my reading the Dialog in some important ways makes AIR almost obsolete.. I could simply put a Dialog next to my 200 and pull from a Nas or play tidal or I hope pandora or hopefully Internet radio. I'm guessing I could even use multiple Dialogs in different rooms to feed different systems.. If this is the case this could be the high end Sonos replacement I've been waiting for.. If it sounds good and Devialet develops the services to go with it. Very exciting!
