Surely the issue with these firmware updates is that Devialet must do them with the intention that they improve the accuracy/efficiency/reliability/flexibility of the unit and that, based on their listening, things sound excellent.
I should think there is some statistical analysis around which reveals that 60% of change is heard as an improvement, 30% is heard as no change and 10% is heard as a worsening - even if there is really no "change" at all.
I'm entirely happy that the new firmware makes the Devialet sound great. And it sounded great with the old firmware. To my ears.
I just load it up an enjoy it and, if pushed, would admit that any discriminatory skills I might claim would not stand up to scrutiny under test. But I am entirely happy with those who feel the firmware is an improvement, because they enjoy it too.
