This is one of the reasons why I use 4 masters (instead of 1 master and 3 companions).
So are you using at least two of them for dual mono stereo listening? I'm curious how you go about configuring each if not via the Devialet online configurator for dual mono?
The biggest headache I've run into is that I can never edit an existing configuration for my 440 Pro. The online configurator will always mess up any such attempt. But from your comments, I'm concerned that there are other issues I should be aware of. All attempts to communicate with Devialet about the configurator issues have gone unanswered to date.
I do not use dual mono, but quad mono: each stereo channel (left and right) has 2 speakers and 2 amplifiers in mono mode.
The cables between the amplifiers are connected in the same way as in the configuration of 1 master and 3 companions: digital_out from one goes to digital_in to the next.
The remote control is paired with all 4 amplifiers and controls all 4 simultaneously.
In the configurator I set 4 dual mono configurations, but I only use the files saved for masters. Basically, the 4 configurations are identical, with the following differences:
- 2 are for left speakers, and the other 2 for right speakers.
- The first master has activated the inputs that I use. The other 3 have only activated the digital_in input (as a kind of companion).
In this way, I am only interested in the master settings in the configurator, and they are saved correctly and can be edited / modified at any time in the configurator.
There are disadvantages (which do not affect me at all):
- The application in the phone only works on the first master (if it is connected to the network).
- Automatic power sleep is applied successively to the 4 amplifiers.
- You can only use the inputs from the first amplifier.
