New beta firmware 7.1.3 released

[Mikeeo]

I am noticing that SAM has a lesser effect on my Sasha 2s with this new beta. Or rather toggling between the two the difference seems less pronounced. Could it be that the bass now has a little less weight, with both SAM on and off? I'm not sure. On some material I notice that there is more tonal texture in the lower registers (i.e. more information), but on other material (primarily electronic) the bass seems less defined, softer even? But even then it seems to vary from recording to recording. I am beginning to see why we might be getting different interpretations. I think the bass has changed.

Overall I still think that 7.1.3 is the most musical I have heard from my Devialet. 

It will be interesting to see if this is in fact part (or all!) of the new 8.0 release. 

Oh - I'm using an AES/EBU input from an external streamer.

G, this is very interesting as to me my Raidho X1 got both more defined and added depth in the bass. Could it be that your speakers passed their best 'bottom' frequency?
I do agree that there is less SQ diff between non-SAM and SAM than before even if SAM wins every time I compare.

I also agree that this is the most musical version as my system improved over the whole freq spect and as I said elsewhere I feel there is less brake on the music ie more natural flow without dynamic delay!

I also use AES/EBU from external streamer. I do not use AIR and never did.
I consider AES/EBU input as mandatory to get the best SQ from Dev.
