And what has Devialet just announced? A smart speaker branded by Belkin. Yawn.
Very good review for this other model, the NAD C658, also with room correction and an initial price of 1,700 €

It’s rather depressing to witness NAD innovations in its Masters M33 (robust web interface, Dirac Live room correction, full MQA decoding, first mass-market adoption of the Purifi Eigentakt module, etc.) while we know full well that Devialet has stymied the Expert development path.
I, for one, will test drive the M33 as a possible replacement for my Devialet Expert 220 Pro. Don’t mistake me: there are many things I love about Devialet but their abysmal customer service and lack of resource allocation for development leave me cold.
