Firmware 12.3.0 + DOS 2.2.2

[Peter van der Laarse]

I don´t see so many disadvantages in sd card vs online configuration.
At the end of the day, it is meant to change the setting, that´s all,and this is not done every day ... in my case.

I don't change my configs much either but I can see how those with different cartridges or subwoofers would love to be able to change settings on the fly. I just don't think it's something Devialet will implement soon or even at all. 

Those who were at the Munich meeting; did you hear anything?

Hi Pim,

Some background:
Yes I was in Munich (also at) Devialet and I think it is important that you understand what kind of company Devialet is. By the way, I am a financial auditor and specialized in companies in a situation like Devialet is in (LinkedIn in Dutch):

At Münich you could hear that Devialet is a very very bright technical driven company; top notch. At the same time that is the biggest problem also. The technicians - in combination with their patents - can almost produce and make everything the High ender can think of. Really. Till very shortly there were too many fantastic technical guys on the steering wheel of the ship (captain). Without a professional planning like Prince2 systems do offer (Can you follow me?). Shortly speaking, that's the main reason Devialet promisses things and some people are feeling that it is not always happening as promised. We became at Münich a presentation of the new company members; names with functiontitles. The responsibilities were for a financial auditor not clear yet....
But they are really on the bettering hand and I even heared a few times: NO. Yes we can build it, no we won't. I personally am very glad that the latest softwareversion for the Pro-CI machine (12.3.0 and in my account: good Devialet!) is really making steps forward. The Devialet is playing almost (oke, almost) without false messages and sounds terrific!
Devialet is in the world market incredibly small, but it is as on the moon: a giant step for mankind (and I can know with no dynamic speakers, lol). They sold about 7.500 Expert machines worldwide and have about 400 people employed right now. Including price, place, promotion and product personal and the shops. But the potention is huge and yes you have made the right choice: a Devialet!
They must earn money on the shortest way possible and therefore choices must be made. Renault-Opel, concerthalls live in your living room, surround sound, choices choices.....

Back to your question:
Yes "that in the fly" can be made. For sure. No I don't think it has priority at this moment. Security items with a SD card system are simple and therefore cheap to execute. Settings on the fly and at the same time essential functions are't working is a little strange don't you think? But it happened in the past: a technician is bussy with assignment A and sees possiblities B and C. A, B and C are implemented but the Devialet loses function D and nowbody knows. As long as I have the feeling a Prince2 approach is not steering the company I don't hope we wil get your ideas. In now time we are loosing something else...

Help to a future:
We at Devialet chat have a very large impact on the company. You don't think so, but believe me we do more than we think we do. The loudest shouter wins oftenly with a low priority profile. We could put more effort in a top 10 high essentials customers want-list. More structurely and on a daily and realtime bases. In a complex world I often make a top 10 high essentials also, before the ERP (SAP) is build and implemented. Changing the SD system would not be my top10 choice.

I hope I gave you something to think about (sd vs top10) and hear you soon.
