Devialet is just a company that once was good but has now turned to shit. Multiple promises across all product lines unmet, multiple statemements about long term upgradeability also unmet, unhappy customers all around. Only those willing to continually accomodate lack of progress seem happy.
The OP was correct and despite protestations about the 'hard work' being done for Roon, the CI board etc, the fact remains that these are minor changes and that the two main product lines are static, despite the presence of 500 employees (or whatever the figure is). Nothing of note actually ever happens on either the Expert/Pro or Phantom lines. Its incredibly disappointing that for a company that started out so well, this is what it has come to.
All of the promises of upgradeablity have been dropped entirely, no one can argue with this. While the base products are still decent, there has been none of the promised progression, and the company themselves do not help matters with their aloof attitude. No wonder they don't do hifi shows any longer - I would not in their shoes either if I had as little to say as they do.
