Devialet told me this very recently:
Q: What about Expert/Dialog?
A: We initially planned to provide Expert support to Dialog using USB, leaving out the D-Premier which did not offer this interface. However due to limited development resources, this has been postponed. All USB-enabled Expert devices should be compatible with Dialog in the end.
Q: If this happens, and one is using both Expert and Phantom, will one need two Dialogs for this, or just one?
A: One Dialog should do the job, however there might be unforeseen constraints that could make using a single Dialog for both impossible.
Q: And when will Dialog become Expert compatible?
A: We have no official ETA on that matter other than its on the roadmap for 2016. We want to provide more than just audio streaming to our Expert customers through Dialog, and this requires a global effort on the Expert firmware and software development teams.
