Devialet's newest technology...?

[amabrok]

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?

I agree. Is Devialet loosing focus? We already got our DXXX. No one ever tell us why we need the Dialog and the Phantom. Streaming or multi-room things, 24 phantoms..... are not the most important. Devialet should do its best in pushing the envelope on 2-CH playback.

I am inclined to believe that this is not aimed at us. they simply want to expand the business and get out of the niche.

now if this will lead to a loss of focus and derailing off their tracks towards best sound reproduction then i will obviously be very disappointed. but if this will be another revenue stream that will enable Devialet to grow and invest more on innovative R&D to serve us with more breakthrough inventions and platforms then we will all benefit.

Again i still believe Dialog is designed for Phantom and not the D series. Fingers crossed, the D seres should have enough processing power to do the additional functionality of Dialog following a firmware upgrade maybe a major one from 7.1.1. to 8.0 after which it should be possible for the D series to work and integrate with Spark and bridge the gap of direct streaming and UPnP
