DIALOG plus SPARK looks like a big step forward to me. At very low cost Devialet are adding (what will hopefully be) full streaming capability to their whole range. This means that we will be able to stream from any digital source - NAS, on-line music service, TV (5.1) etc.
If the sound quality is good - which knowing Devialet it will be - then what's the problem? They're providing the same functionality for €299 that other manufacturers are charging 3x, 4x, even 10x as much for.
Yes, it seems that this will be USB-only initially. My guess is that they will soon announce an upgrade to the wireless card in the amps to make them fully compatible with the DIALOG.
According to Devialet support, it will be possible to order Phantoms and DIALOGs on-line shortly with shipping starting in mid-January.
