Maybe the Dialog uses AIR, although I haven't seen it mentioned as such in the publicity. Or perhaps it uses a protocol that supersedes AIR; that might be necessary to support synchronised playback of a single stream on multiple Phantoms (à la Sonos). In the latter case maybe we can hope that a firmware upgrade to the existing Devialets would support this new wireless streaming protocol. If one could stream to an existing amplifier in a high-end set-up synchronised with one or more Phantoms for less critical listening, that would be pretty compelling (at least, it would for me). So, fingers crossed.
Probably less likely: Devialet could licence the AIR protocol, or a possible successor, to other streamer manufacturers.
