If so this was before being purchased.... however Publicly they didn't announce that officially. Most of this is speculation, rumors & educated guesses based on Beta testing. The new company may decide to never release it. We don't know their bussiness model. Were kinda back to square one. At best we can hope they stick with the direction the previous Company was heading.
They published tables showing the different models and the dates of expected release, from memory they were in France /French
This sounds interesting if it was from official company's material.

Well yes but this was before the sale of the company - surely the situation is completely different now. I don't expect anything to happen before the sale is completed, which will probably be around the end of this year and who knows how the new owners think about ART and/or about releasing it for an old product line (=very little new money generated).Dirac ART is now running on beta FW for Denon Xx800H AVRs!
Yes, this means you do not need BC. So with BC and 4 subs it would probably be overkill?
Exactly and why should we give in to FUD
I don't know if you've ever been involved in an acquisition but one usually wishes for the selling party to conduct business at the best of their capabilities. No point in buying a company that's spent the past 7 months waiting and waiting... it would lead to loss of value, for sure.
Could you repost them with a small summary?
Starting at the top "Halo" end, would make sense.... (also limits exposure to those buyers likely to be using professional installers....)
No I haven't - well I have but only as an employee of a smaller company (with around 70 employees and around 10 mio. annual sales volume), which has been bought by a larger firm. But in our case it was more like a merger than an acquisition. So admittedly, I don't know much about how these things are usually handled by those large corporations. I also don't know enough about business administration to comment on how these acquisitions work exactly. My wording of "expecting" was meant more in the sense of: "I won't hope for a release this year for the X800 series or at all - so I won't be disappointed".
This makes sense But isn't the value of the company being bought still "under review" for price negotiations? Or is the price already set in stone at this point?
That's great news! So it should really come this year, still no mentioning about an upgrade for the older devices but I guess now it's pretty much certain it will actually come. I'm really curious to see how well this works in practise in actual rooms, especially difficult ones like minimally treated living rooms. Knowing Dirac, there will probably be a lot of problems at first and Lars Mette had some kind of reservations regarding the processing power of the SU units compared to the Storm though but no idea if that's an actual concern or just marketing fluff to hype up the more expensive product...
Based on one you tube video?
Well yeah since it is finally an official statement from actual D&M employees, stating that DLART will come - right from the release! - with the AV20 and I guess that means it is now very likely that it will come to the other devices as well.
It is worth keeping in mind that the less powerful Storm units limited the number of "support" channels, to keep it within the processors capabilities... the flagship models have no such limitations.Well after seeing hollywoodzuhause's video, I guess you were right
hollywoodzuhause did release another video (livestream) 2 hours ago if you want to check it out - but it's in german. He might has to take that one down as well though....
