SQ great, as always, but after maybe 30 min of normal playing an ominous smell of burnt electronics spread through the room. I immediately shut down the amplifier and let it cool down. Wondering if it was overheating I turned it back on and checked the temperature, 41 degrees, not hot.
The smell seems to originate form the powersocket, so i suspect a possibly faulty PSU?
Funny thing is that the amp works fine. I reinstalled the software, turned it on and it plays great. After a while though a metallic odor fills the room.
Is this normal for a Devialet 200? It´s quite new and I know some amplifiers need to burn off some oils and such, but I never experienced something like this. (It has never smelled of anything these first few months.)
Not saying firmware 8.1 has anything to do with this, but if someone else has experienced anything similar it might be a problem.
It´s plugged directly into the wall.
I had the same problem with my D200 companion unit about couple weeks ago. I sent a message to Devialet support about this and they asked me to return my amplifier for service. I'm now waiting for getting my D200 companion back...
So, probably you should also contact Devialet support?
I´ll probably have a talk with the service department then. That sucks :-)
