I have given up on AIR for the moment and am using a Bluesound Node to access Tidal, Spotify and all the music on my PC. While I really dislike that the only output from the Node to my Devialet DAC is through TOSLink, I still love the convenience of having my music available 24/7 without any problems. Of course, I hope that the DIALOG will be the permanent replacement for the Node and perhaps the final link to my music needs -- streaming or stored. When AIR worked it was great but I grew weary of its fickleness. As for the Configurator, I never had an issue with it. Finally, I do think that Devialet ought to charge your credit card only after they have shipped the device. I will take some photos and share them on the site.(21-Jan-2015, 12:08)Flashman Wrote: I just got my code and ordered a DIALOG, which as I guess most of you know won't be available in the EU until the end of March. I live in France so I have decided to visit La Maison in Paris on 29 January to see whether the DIALOG might be demonstrated. Ha! I even offered to be a beta tester and take possession of the DIALOG at this time but no takers! On the same trip, I am going to pick up a loom of cables (speaker, power, interconnects) from Franck Tchang of Acoustic System International (ASI). He has two lines : LiveLine and (the more expensive) Reference series. Should be a fun road trip!
Could I also ask you to kick them up the @r** whilst politely asking them about when AIR will be updated and white noise free, when the Configurator will be updated and bug free and why they have taken my money for Dialog, then delayed the order by seven weeks without even sending me an email to say sorry. Cash paid if you can get a decent 'photo of this fine event!
Anyway, enjoy you trip! Whether or not you ask any of the above questions if of course entirely up to you. Maybe enjoy the full benefits of their hospitality then politely mention something at the end?
