Firmware 8.1 released!

[Antoine]

Happy this worked out for you Antoine... and so quickly as Devialet is many things, however I wouldn't count 'quick' among them!

Haha, I see what you mean! Fortunately they were quick this time!

Thanks for this Antoine, not that it affects me personally as I do not use a sub, or cross over filter settings.

Whilst I can applaud Devialet for fixing this issue in short time, I can not applaud the way in which they are issuing it! They should issue a new Version number and publicise it in the same way as they did the release of 8.1. It should not be left to you to broadcast the changes - maybe they will issue a round robin note, but I doubt it!

I believe that this is not the first time that Devialet have shown a laxness in their firmware issues (I seem to recall a similar issue with 7.1.1, which had a number of different dates applied to it).

Like the others above I also fully agree. And to make matters even worse: when Devialet got back to me they said they would attach the new firmware to the case but apparantly forgot to do so. So while replying back I also checked the website and found that the new firmware had already been uploaded to it. However they got back to me again and this time with the firmware attached to the case. Imagine my surprise that the attached firmware was already an older version. The timestamp of the IHM file inside the attached FW package was 12-6-2015 11:43 compared to 12-6-2015 14:13 on the website.

But which sounds better - the new 8.1.0 or the old 8.1.0?
This is not helping my mild autism at all ...

LOL

I have three versions now of 8.1 if you would like to try them I'll email them to you!
