Started using 7.1.3 on my D200 a few days ago after experiencing issues with 8.0 (see 8.0 thread for details) I'd say 7.1.3 is the best release I've heard through my system (SAM enabled, B&W CM10 S2's)
However, after a longish (3 hours or so) and loud (up to -10.0) listening session I was disturbed by a slight electrical burning smell - the amp was running really hot (high 50's). Devialet say they're happy with temperatures into the 60's, but with the smell I wasn't, and shut everything down/pulled the power overnight.
I'm now monitoring the temperature more closely in case I need to raise it with Devialet - anyone else finding 7.1.3 runs hot? Most of the comments I've seen say the opposite, and things run cooler.
Heat aside it's sounding fantastic!
