RE: New beta firmware 7.1.3 released - Foggy916 - 30-Apr-2015 7.1.3 sounds really good to me but honestly, I've done so many recent changes with my Mac Mini (itunes USB vs Air Ethernet vs Amarra with USB vs Amarra with Air Ethernet vs Audirvana with USB vs Audirvana with Air Ethernet) that it's really hard to pinpoint the exact changes in the sound. I'll just say that it sounds great, especially with Audirvana. Also resolved my earlier issue of Master and Companion not synching the info screens.

Either 7.1.3 has a new SAM engine or it clearly proves people hear what they want to hear even when it doesn't involve $1000 cables.

Guillaume RE: New beta firmware 7.1.3 released - iamwappie - 30-Apr-2015 Just upgraded. Maybe a wider soundstage and certainly a difference in voice. Don't know yet if I consider this an improvement. More a tube like change. Call it more 'musical' but I'm not a tube guy. Will experiment some more... RE: New beta firmware 7.1.3 released - ZincAlloy - 30-Apr-2015 Massively frustrated! Can't wait to hear this, but Devialet 200 currently back at base. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!

Will spend some time listening before passing judgement on what I think I may be hearing but I am encountering one glitch with the Lumin app on the iPad. The time ring to the right of the controls is now dimmed and no longer indicating remaining track length and the app is a little more sluggish. It was working pretty well before the 7.1.3 update. Problem solved !! The streamer just needed to be power cycled. Now I know that if I unplug/plug the Devialet for a firmware update, I should also power down/up the streamer. Now I can finally relax and evaluate the new and improved sound !!!

I was probably first person in this thread to write about sound changes after 7.1.3 beta installled. I risked my reputation but I never hesitate to say Truth when I Can hear a change. After two days I can say that this is the best sound of my 200 in my room so far. And it is nice to know that You also have the best sound...and that Devialet after All this buzz about Phantom did sth for owners of Expert Line For me this beta and sound after upgrade helps me to think ok about our future with our toys RE: New beta firmware 7.1.3 released - Rufus McDufus - 30-Apr-2015 Congratulations for those who spotted the new firmware on Devialet's site! I was a little nervous about trying it, thinking perhaps they'd released it by mistake but then they must know that someone would spot it sooner or later. I wonder if this could spoil their big surprise for the Munich show? RE: New beta firmware 7.1.3 released - Confused - 30-Apr-2015 I agree with Rufus' sentiments above. Also, reading through Hifi swlon's rather splendid list, there is actually a very high level of commonality between the nature of the comments and descriptions, if this is nothing but expectation bias or herd mentality, then it would be a pretty extraordinary outcome. RE: New beta firmware 7.1.3 released - Kunter - 30-Apr-2015 The biggest change I hear is with lower mids being more pronounced and clear, and the soundstage is more defined. I also agree on "more dynamic" and "increased musicality". Some more definition on bass as well... For the last month or so I am using one of my D250's as DAC/PRE only, driving a Gryphon Antileon Signature. So my comments are not for the amp section... Which I plan on testing during the next weekend. Overall I quite like what I hear... It reminds me the good old days when I had my first D-Premier, with Air not supporting high res, and the sound was glorious... Kudos Devialet... |
