Devialet Dialog

[Jnan_devi]

@LBameule: I guess you are right. In my understanding the Dialog is more like a 'streaming bridge'. It's task is to pick up the files from the internet or the NAS (as soon as UpNP is implemented) or even from an external digital source and send them to the Phantom or the Dev expert. In the amp or the all-in-one device the D-A decoding will take place. The Dialog is fully working in the digital domain. It kind of replaces a pc or Apple computer with it's streaming software installed on it. For the moment the output to the Dev expert is limited to the USB protocol. After firmware updates AIR (WiFi either ethernet) might be active as well in the future. To the Phantom the Dialog can send the  music files in various ways (WiFi, ethernet etc). The onboard DAC in the Phantom or the Dev amp does the conversion to analog.

this is a big thread, reached until pg-14, without getting excited to write anything, however cannot wait, and not sure if anyone responded to this specific topic written here.

This is correctly captured. I would simply imagine if Apple folks come up with their own app for mini to control their device, then we are all good. No need of Dialog too. But if someone adds Phantom, then Dialog becomes useful.
