New app

[Confused]

Regardless of other developments, I hope the rotary and 'chrome' design of the Expert remote volume control survives - even if as a separate app.  Considering how much I use Roon, I actually still generally go to the Devialet app for volume.  OK Im not using roonAIR right now but I use the Roon volume a lot on other zones and don't enjoy the slider - the Devialet app just feels nicer.

OK the current app is neglected by Devialet, but its unique and pleasing to use and deserves to be saved.  All it needs is the screen graphics updating to the same as the devialet since the firmware update (a couple hours work), and ideally have the buttons and tone controls etc (probably a days work).  

I'd hate to see the whole Devialet range controlled by an app of 'generic' design with no style.  If any update becomes a slider volume, it will be a huge letdown.  This is of course assuming anything actually materialises and works at all.

It does not happen often, but I absolutely agree with @Hifi_swlon regarding the 'old' app.  In fact, if the app could be updated to include basic stuff like tone controls, toggles for SAM, DPM, and similar, then this would most definitely enhance the enjoyment I get from my Devialet amp.  I am not sure if it is just a day's work, software is not my area of expertise so I cannot judge, but this must surely be easier than some of the CI board software that they are working on currently?

While I am at it, a quick note to @Jean-Marie.  You state: "The remote App works perfectly with WiFi disabled on the Devialet if you are connected through Ethernet and on the same network as an other WiFi AP to which your phone or tablet can be connected."

I use the remote app exactly as you describe above, but for me it does not work perfectly.  It works fine for a while, drops out, reconnects, drops out, it is very frustrating.  In my house I can stream using wifi to an iPad for hours without a glitch, every app I use on my iPad functions perfectly (the Devialet app is the one and only exception) I can stream hi def Netfix with surround sound without a stutter or a glitch.  It is very frustrating as I do like the app, even as it is now with limited functionality I like the app, I like the volume control, I like the clear indication of volume level.  It is good!  A while ago it was very nearly 100% stable, but this seems to be lost now.
