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.
The ADH platform is here to stay and I can't see Devialet making that sound worse for more sales. If anything, they are using Phantom to lure in those who are not aware of life beyond Bose. Don't forget who's money behind this is; the guy owns Louis Vuitton, Hennessey and Moet. He's not going to turn this into a cheap brand. I think they are merely trying ways to get people interested in High End audio. Not an easy task but it would be great if they can. And keep in mind the competition. Everyone will want to bring something to the market that can compete agains Devialet so this could turn into an iPhone/Samsung battle... new goodies every 6 months!
