The "hype" is surely down to J B Stanton, the U.S. Advertising and Marketing agency who were appointed by Devialet in January 2014. This organisation is responsible for " brand building, marketing and PR" for Devialet. Such an appointment reflects Devialet's significant aspirations in markets worldwide and may well have been on the instigation of their financial backers. I am hoping that the original team responsible for the technical innovation and forward thinking can stay together. The developments of this company so far have really shaken up the HiFi world, which had become almost stagnant in terms of ideas in recent years! I cannot wait to hear the Phantom but until then I will continue to enjoy my D200.
