Quote:So much for the EVO sales pitch ‘removes planned obsolescence by continuously evolving and updating’. Ur, hmmm, well maybe until the next model comes out.The last firmware update to the Expert non-Pro line was April 2017. Where or where art thou Devialet? I spend more time on the Roon forum, as things seem to evolve fairly frequently there, including their brilliant move to implement Devialet AIR into their ecosystem. THAT made my Devialet experience what it should have been when AIR was first envisioned. Plus, with the recent update of Bluesound to the current Roon RAAT, I now can listen quite blissfully to MQA files with Roon doing the first unfold and my Bluesound Node 2 the second. Anyway, that's a bit off topic...
