RE: Firmware 8.0 - MusicFirst - 02-Jun-2015 (02-Jun-2015, 19:04)Petter Wrote: Its a french way of not loosing face ? I don't know, but I switched back and fourth between my current copy of 8.0.0 and 7.1.3 and the differences remain. The first copy of 8.0.0 that I downloaded was literally minutes after they went live with the firmware and the new website. Unfortunately, I don't have that download anymore. It's possible that it was just a bad download of either the FW or the config files which I did at the same time. I don't want to disparage Devialet because I know that with the unprecedented flexibility that the Expert line offers, there is a lot of code to write and debug, especially with a major revision like 8.0.0 which introduces several new features. No matter how one looks at it, in any similar technological endeavour, first adopters inevitably become beta testers. I for one would not trade this innovation for perfect stability in software implementation. Kerry RE: Firmware 8.0 - JMRC - 02-Jun-2015 Thanks for your feedback Kerry, The reason I avoided 7.1.1, was mainly because it emphasized the lower frequencies, making them blurry and inarticulate. The only thing I always found less desirable in Devialet is the somewhat thin midband , and a touch of digital glare...

Hmm. Compared to other solid state or tubes? Perhaps these characteristics lie elsewhere in your system? Are you plugging the Devialet into the PS Audio? (Sorry last off topic post for me. ) Kerry RE: Firmware 8.0 - Antoine - 02-Jun-2015 Sorry for my off topic too but I'm very much with Kerry on this! RE: Firmware 8.0 - JMRC - 03-Jun-2015 Perhaps I still miss the Audio Research valves midrange; and yes, the Devialet is plugged in the PP, shouldn't it be?

IMHO and in my room it sounds better than the 7.1.1 version with a better bass control (SAM on). AIR works well as it has worked before (with a dedicated Wifi network) And I love ICM (just amazing) RE: Firmware 8.0 - Confused - 03-Jun-2015 (03-Jun-2015, 14:46)FranckdeGrenoble Wrote: Hi It is strange that firmware 8.0 plus SAM appears to work fine for some people and yet is problematic for others. Does anyone have any idea why? It is not as if the users experiencing problem are doing something wrong, Devialet have advised that there is a problem with SAM V2 that will be fixed in version 8.1. Very puzzling. Maybe only some speakers are SAM V2 compatible, although what does that even mean? I understood that SAM V2 was related to the new SAM lab? RE: Firmware 8.0 - Music or sound - 04-Jun-2015 Since I upgraded my D250 to 8.0 I experience very short dropouts at least with 2 different inputs (AES and RCA). The dropouts are very short interruptions within a single note and not very frequent. I deselected DPM in the configurator (general setting/ power saving) and have not heard any of these dropouts yet. Anyone with the same experience (have not read everything in this thread)?

We do already have a few touching on aspects of power. Guillaume RE: Firmware 8.0 - octaviars - 04-Jun-2015 I contacted Devialet yesterday about my sync problem with my D400 and they responded today that this was an known issue to them if you use 8.0 and they are going to release a new firmware in mid june that would adress the problems in 8.0, so now it is only for me to revert back to 7.1.3 and wait for the new firmware. |
