My crystal ball is a bit murky but I see two possible scenarios for my Expert Pros this year
Optimistic Scenario
1) Devialet will resolve all issues with CI upgrade within the next month or so
2) I will gladly send in my Expert Pros for the CI upgrade and get them back within a matter of weeks
3) Roon RAAT will become a reality this year
4) At least one new firmware functionality will be released that will significantly impress us and demonstrate why Devialet put the effort into the CI upgrade
5) I will still be a happy and content owner of my Devialet Expert Pros at year end
The Dark Side Scenario
1) Ongoing problems resulting from the CI upgrade will linger well into the year
2) I will regret sending in my Expert Pros for the CI upgrade
3) Roon RAAT will NOT be implemented this year
4) No additional functionality will be released in 2018
5) I will be eagerly searching for a new audio-centric Christmas present
Personally, I am eagerly hoping for the former but, admittedly, fearing the latter...
