Devialet's newest technology...?

[thumb5]

I realy don't want to sound negative, if I could buy a Dialog now I would without hesitation. However, I bought a Devialet in the first place because of its sound quality, and in all the commercial stuff that's come out, including that from Devialet, there has been no mention that Dialog has in anyway been made to optimise sound quality for existing owners. Are they loosing focus?

Much as I admire the engineering of the Phantom, "the best sound in the world" perhaps has to be taken with a pinch of salt along the the rest of the fairly hyperbolic marketing.

I agree about the Dialog, though: as a dedicated streamer to bring Qobuz, etc. at high fidelity into an existing Devialet it's likely to be top of my new-toy shopping list as soon as it's available.

How good are they? It'll be some time before we will get some proper reviews, or get a chance to listen ourselves? Good reports so far, but are they good in absolute terms or in comparison with a Sonos or Zepelin? Can't wait to hear one myself!

I'd be very disappointed if the Phantom's sound quality wasn't in a different league to a Sonos Play:1/3/5. It would have to be to justify that kind of price tag, and I doubt the radical engineering of the Phantom would be needed to for performance on a par with the Sonos speakers. I'd love to hear one, too.
