First impressions

Okay, it seems really good. Thnaks.

My biggest fear is the heating of the DIALOG. No news from Devialet on that?

I think heating is similar as any other Wifi router and PLC. I guess the Ings at Devialet made the design same as others for wireless. 45-50 Deg is fine for components and feels burning hot to our hands. I guess my Dialog heats up to about 40 Degs on the metal cooler. So in Summer at room temp of 25-30 DegC the components will still be at normal operating range.

I don't agree.
I have had a lot of electronics over the last 50 years. The only other ones which smelled of charring phenolic failed. If it just felt hot, I wouldn't be concerned, it is the burning smell which is alarming.

BTW anybody thinking a Dialog may solve Air problems let me say that at the moment Air is 1000x better than Spark.

The smell comes from the ugly whatever polymer that is around the Dialog. It's a material I would use as shock absorber for something that risks to fall on earth, like phone protectors. Now, after around 3 weeks of constantly running I can only smell it when I go with my nose close to the Dialog. It's a different smell when you, as we used to say in lab experiments unpack the smoke from electronic components, although similar. Of course time will tell.
