Devialet Dialog not compatible with expert line until mid 2015

[Eddye]

Some fellow Devialetchatters have already bought a Dialog box in the hopes of using it with their expert line amp... They bought it on a promise from Devialet that it will be working with the amp "shortly"...

That's also understandable. Having said that I also bought one and cancelled my order just before it was delivered.

As f1eng has already stated, the Dialog was not designed for use with the Expert line and therefore is unlikely to satisfy Expert users.

I think it's possible that we will see Devialet update the wifi board in the Expert range to accommodate the Dialog/Spark system, therefore negating the need to connect the Dialog to the Expert via USB. Whether it will sound as good as AIR, who knows?

I cancelled my order too. However Devialet did publish this on their site: "DIALOG is ready for PHANTOM and will come mid-2015 to DEVIALET EXPERT amplifiers." So perhaps it's not designed for the expert line, working with the expert line was definitely stated as a function of the Dialog box. Though I'm extremely happy with my Aurender I still hope Devialet will do something to correct this soon.

I doubt Devialet will offer an updated Wifi board in this generation of Expert amps. I'm thinking they'll announce a new expert line next summer at the latest.
