Devialet Dialog

[ErikM]

I ordered a Dialog from Colette Sunday night and I received it here on the west coast of the US today. For those in the US who might be interested the Dialog came with a Schuko plug but the Dialog is universal voltage and has a C7 input (I pulled the power cable off an Apple TV and it worked fine).

Now to the part we've all been waiting for--I plugged it in to my router and the USB input on my 200 and fired up Spark hoping for some magic. Nope. Spark finds the Dialog but hangs on the next screen looking for a Phantom. I tried an iPad and macbook with the same results.I tried a couple UPNP control points to see if it showed up as a UPNP renderer but I found nothing. My guess is that both Spark and the Dialog will need updates before this works.

The Dialog comes with the worlds smallest instruction manual and includes instructions for using it with the expert line.

One other thing, the fit and finish on mine is not great. The case is rubberized plastic and mine had some marks on it. Also the sliver trim piece is poorly painted, almost looks like it was done by hand. Looks more like a prototype than a finished product.

Now on to the pics.

I posted this in another section but I thought people might be interested. Not much use to us expert users at the moment.
