Firmware 13.2.0 - DOS 2.2.6 for Expert Pro - Release note

[Flashman]

If Dickens had written "A Tale of Two Cities," incidentally my favorite fiction book, with Devialet in mind, he might point to its timely adoption of Roon and its flawed implementation of Sweet Room. For many on this forum, the Roon adoption brought us a badly needed streaming solution (recall Roon and Air working perfectly in tandem) beginning with the pre-Expert Pro line. I still figuratively shake my head in amazement that Devialet found a way to work effectively with Roon, especially when you consider how many manufacturers today (Hegel, NAD, etc.) are struggling to get their units certified. On the other hand, how many manufacturers would put their customers through such an insanely difficult and convoluted process to get Sweet Room working? Devialet helped usher in the high-end audio lifestyle product that eliminated multiple boxes, looked great and, once the configuration process was done, worked as fluidly as a warm knife slicing through Normandy butter. Yet now, we are required to find/purchase a microphone, ferret out an appropriate software package and then rely on the good graces of fellow owners to figure out how to make the obstinate thing work. One day, I hope to find a solution and be able to say “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done.”
