Expert Pro update email

[Confused]

Also, we were told that the Expert would see no further development, no firmware updates and so on.  However, I presume the (Pre-Pro CI) Expert will benefit from the new remote app?  If the new app is any good, this could prove to be an very nice update for all.  (eventually)  Or maybe the new remote will be CI Pro only?  I don't think this is clear?

They were pretty clear actually. The new software is written for one platform - that of the Phantom(s) and Core Infinity. This was their primary motivation for developing CI - so they only have one code base to develop for, and Quentin was pretty clear on the factory tour video. So I’m 99% certain non ‘pro’ experts wont get updates.

That said, from the minimal I’ve seen so far, doesn’t look like they’re missing much.... other than the fact the remote volume might work with future iOS updates and on an iPad. To my eye the volume knob looks more Naim, Sony or Panasonic than Devialet.....

Yes, reading the email again I have to agree you are right.  A shame though, it would be nice for a little something to come along for the original Expert range.  Not that it matters too much though, I still have fond memories of my old D240/250/800.
