SAM is certainly an excellent first step but adding effective room correction processing is a much bigger challenge which, I suppose, is why we haven't seen it ... yet...
I think one of Devialet's biggest design advantages lies in the close integration of DAC, DSP, pre and power amps in a single box (from what you say B&O have taken a similar approach). This keeps the signal path very short and obviates the need for multiple interconnects which introduce all sorts of problems - rfi, jitter etc. I wouldn't be keen to add a room correction box to my system and hope that if Devialet do implement such a solution that it will be handled by the existing internal DSP chips.
