Last minute Summer Devialet Event at OAC with Mathieu Pernot! 12 July 2018

The picture I got was that it was mainly a business decision that Devialet don't want to get into room analysis, rather than a technical limitation of the Expert DSP (not being able to handle room correction).  That said, I do feel this is a bit of a half-hearted answer: in principle I'd have thought Devialet could partner with any of several well-known third parties that specialise in room analysis, and work out a way to import the room-specific correction algorithm -- convolution, filters, whatever -- into the Expert DSP engine.  Of course it all comes down to resources, priorities, and whether there would be "any money in it" (to put it crudely).

That's good to know. We don't necessarily even need Devialet to do the room analysis. There are many very fine solutions for that. We just need some way to run the full range convolution / third party solutions inside our Devialets. I would be willing to pay a lot of money just to get this single feature. The current PEQ capability inside the Devialet is better than nothing, but it isn't as flexible as we would like, and it isn't nearly as good as the convolution. I'm not sure about SQ - that does it sound the same/better/worse than Roon's PEQ - perhaps a new thread could be started on this?
