RE: Firmware update 1.3.0.x - londonuser - 03-Sep-2015 I have written to Devialet about it. Basically, I have told them that if I had heard the product with the current firmware in the shop, I doubt I would have purchased it. I have also asked if they are not happy to revert the changes whether they are happy to take back the products and refund the customers that feel this is an unwanted product change that downgrades the user experience. I hope they take a responsible rather than arrogant attitude about it. By comparison, Microsoft has realised that what seems like a good idea in the testing, may not be received as a good idea by the customers, and much more complex software comes with the option to revert changes. I shall update you their reply, but I think more people that feel this way should raise a direct complaint with the company so they understand our views. RE: Firmware update 1.3.0.x - raph972 - 03-Sep-2015 @Vince_JP: I unplug my Phantoms every night and plug them back when I come home after work. I never unplug my Dialog though. Every time I plug them back to the mains it takes around a minute for both my Phantoms to be ready to play my music. In the meantime, Spark does tell me that one or more Phantom is missing, but as soon as they have started and reconnected to the Dialog, I can play music. No need to re-do the whole setup process. RE: Firmware update 1.3.0.x - f1eng - 03-Sep-2015 I absolutely disagree with you. I hear no sound quality change on mine, just a change in the volume control law which I am sure anybody can get used to after a while. I have had kit in the past with much less logical volume control actions than either the original or current volume control laws used by the Phantom, usually in the name of sound quality improvement of a non-logarithmic pot. I don't look at the number, personally, I just adjust the volume to sound as loud as I want and since nothing has changed on my Phantoms apart from the number displayed in Spark when I listen it makes no difference at all.

I unplug everything after listening. I re-connect the Phantoms and then Dialog the next day, after a while (I haven't timed it) everything is as it was before unplugging. I haven't had to re-do the setup after unplugging since version 1 of Spark. Firmware update 1.3.0.x - jvi - 03-Sep-2015 @f1eng...I can agree with you, same experience here. So, for this aspects we're happy users. It's a pity for those that are not. Are they right ? I don't know, but music is emotion. And in emotion every opinion is right...

A Simple Audio streamer is connected via Toslink with the Dialog. All devices get their power from a 220volt extension box with a switch; easy power-off/on. Takes less than a minute. For controlling I use the Spark desktop application and/or the Ipad/Iphone app. The Simple Audio streamer is used to select music from both NAS-devices, or internet radio; works fine for me. To complete: Dialog serial starts with H19, Phantoms with H24.

Bass was absolutely blown, music did not sound neutral, but always Bass stressed that there were very nice bass effects, but not high-end, now is right now everything depends on the room acoustics and quality of the music material, as it also has always been. My wish is: the same possibilities to adjust the sound as shown in the Expert Series. Sorry for my english RE: Firmware update 1.3.0.x - Vince_JP - 03-Sep-2015 For the bad or the better, the question is: did Devialet change only the volume scale (as they claim) or the equalizer as well (as some feel). If both, the should give their customer the possibility to choose their preference. @power-off/on: I'm probably too impatient and should wait a minute for the phantom to re-boot. Anyway, I would like to have a comfortable way to turn off my system & the stand-by consumption is by far too high (and non EU-Norm compatible, but I guess that's why Devialet doesn't say it has a stand-by). I'm sure this an issue that could be better adressed by firmware-upgrade. Firmware update 1.3.0.x - jvi - 03-Sep-2015 @vince_JP: I agree on the missing standby function cq power consumption.
