What pitfalls should I avoid to make things work?

Is it possible to have RAM, ICM and SAM at the same time an utilize its functions fully? When I configured the last times under 8.0.0 (only had one channel playing) I noticed if choosing RAM I could not adjust SAM % and where do I utilize ICM? Or do I ask to much of this despite that all functions to me is equally important!?

I only had my left channel playing up to the second attempt to update.

Somehow the power switch of my slave unit was flakey, and pressing it for 5 seconds did not do the trick.

I ended up disconnecting the power cord for 10 seconds, and connecting it again, which triggered the successful update of the firmware.

Then things worked fine.

I like 8.0!

I had no choice but to downgrade back to 7.1.1 — After the 8.0 upgrade power was down, dynamics were crushed, there were strange power management issues with literally volume changing on its own. Maybe it was just a glitch with my unit, not sure, but I prefer to wait for some updates to 8.0 and additional comments from more users and from Devialet. Unfortunately I did not save the old SAM/Config file so now I have SAM V2 with 7.1.1, not great...

Hi,

Welcome to Devialet Chat and congratulations on your great system!
Why don't you download and install the upgrade again? It might have been a dodgy download that corrupted the file. 

Cheers,

Al

Al, thank you. I have done it twice and reverted twice with the same results… I'll wait a few days to see if Devialet releasees a 8.0.1 potentially if they hear of other issues.

I am using D200 with KEF LS50, too. And, upgraded to 8.0FW with no problem.

Very interesting. I'll wait a few days and dowload a fresh copy, perhaps it was a corrupted ZIP file as Al suggests.

(Edit: I'm still forming my own opinion on SQ at the moment)

I have tried to switch DPM off. I think it sounds better, but I'm not yet 100% sure. Temps are again 5° higher, but it feels like more power. Needs more listening.

Update — I reformatted the SD card, downloaded 8.0, again, and made a new config file. That worked, sounds great but different than the V7 firmware. At the end of the day this is a computer and will be the victim of all types of software and technology pit falls.
