I was excited that Devialet finally managed to get the sleep mode working like other modern devices:
"Lower power consumption in sleep mode (around 1W)"
But now I think I misunderstood this line, consumption seems to be reduced by 1W (from 30W to 29W), not lowered from 30W to 1W.

It is really a marked improvement with this FW update .. the mid-bass is 'just right' and this lifts the tonal character from earlier 'slightly cool' to now perfect analog. Wow, I am impressed with just 30 min of listening as was home for lunch but it does promise a good job done by the DEV guys out there. With the tonal character now correct, you see a better top-to-bottom with sharper imaging and a well defined soundstage. It will surprise you @Pim ...
But is that RAAT or overall?

I haven't had the time to check out RAAT but the Firmware update sounds helluva better ...

Thanks for sharing! As you noted, Roon Lab support states:
"The Devialet Expert series has been Roon Ready certified. The certification status should update itself in the next 24-48 hours in the background on your Roon Core."

That’s great. I hope this can work for non CI Experts as well. Or do they still use old firmware only?

@ Pim, Devialet's site still says Experts and Expert Pros without Core Infinity should use firmware v10.x.x.

Don't know if sound is warmer but it does seem to be sweeter and cleaner with a bit more ease to the sound.

I am generally sceptical about perceived SQ improvements due to software changes. After upgrading, I played the same piece of music that I played last night - and it simply sounds better: greater transparency and “airiness”. From a SQ point of view, probably the most notable improvement since SAM
