That said, I see it purely as a marketing email, so I will not be getting upset about it or in any way associating it with Devialet's software issues, communication, and other gripes.
But here is the curious thing.... Even if I accept it as purely a marketing email, it puts me off the brand. I want to read about exciting new technologies and how they are going to push sound quality to ever new heights. I did not see much of that in the email.
The highlight of the email for me has to be the Louis Vuitton DJ Trunk:

Now this is something I do have experience of! That is, loading a Ford Transit van full of PA and DJ'ing equipment. Do I think your average traveling DJ would be interested in a "Louis Vuitton DJ Trunk" powering Phantoms? Being as polite as I can muster, the answer is a simple no. If I am honest, when I clicked the link to the Louis Vuitton DJ Trunk, I laughed out loud. OK, maybe someone somewhere might like it, but please Devialet, get serious!
Isn’t there too much latency with the Phantoms to DJ? I mean you need the changes to be instant.
I looked into this a while ago when I thought about getting my Traktor S4 decks out again.
