Being new to Devialet (got my 120 two weeks ago) and new to this forum as well I learnt my first lesson: Do not even think of installing new soft- or firmware, before you have read the reports of experienced forum members and listen to their advice. After some disappointing attemps to upgrade to FW 8.0 I finally listened to what has put forward here by a couple of members: Install everything new from the scratch and follow Devialet's upgrade instructions! And it worked immediately! Thanks!
Now I am happy that RAM works on my 120, my cartridge (Benz Gold) is listed and it sounds quite well. Have to systematically compare it against my old tube phono pre-amp though. I wonder now whether there is still a difference between the phonoinput of D120 and D200. I will ask this question in another thread, however.
My speakers (PMC Fact 8) are actually very (!) happy with SAM V2! Their sound is considerably improved, but they now still sound like Fact 8 and are not shifted towards another direction as it was done by the former version of SAM.
Looking forward to further developments!
