Firmware 7.1.2 is only found as standard supply on some recently supplied amps, it was never offered as an upgrade, so most of the folks on here will have tried 7.1.1 / 7.1.3beta / 8.0. 7.1.2 was never made available to us old timers.

Your current config should work fine with 7.1.3, if you want to try it. If I was you I would just stick with 7.1.2 until you have had time to get use to the sound of the amp and let everything bed in.

Thank Roni. In my opinion, and echoed by many others on the Devialet chat group, any feature that changes the sound in any way should NEVER be on by default. It should be up to the user to activate anything that changes the baseline sound. Opt in rather than opt out is always the way to go.

FWIW - this is especially true for ICM since Devialet has been so vague about describing what it does. At this level, it's simply not enough to say "ICM makes soundtracks sound better."

Earlier they indeed communicated an "auto ICM on with video functions". I don't know how they could possibly detect video. See also this topic: http://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?tid=1253

The easy way would be to look for a dolby 5.1 signature on the audio stream but that's only been around for about 20 years so you would not expect anyone to know about it would you.

I haven't encountered any issues and all my sources work fine.  I'm running SAM on my ProAc Response D30R floorstanding speakers and find the bass more "refined" with the new firmware.

I'm also running my Rega RP10 /Apheta 2 combo directly through my Devialet 200 (with default settings) and so far, I like what I'm hearing.  I will experiment with RAM and maybe sell off my Rega Aria MC/MM phono stage (still testing).

So far, I'm very happy with the new firmware!

I've done some extensive testing with my analog setup and prefer the sound when using my Rega Aria MC/MM phono stage as opposed to the built-in phono stage in my Devialet 200.

Via RAM, I've tried different settings for my Rega Apheta 2 MC cart but still prefer the sound via the Rega Aria phono.

As for the rest of my setup, I still like Firmware 8.0.0 and I've had no issues at all!
