I tried the new SAM and it definitely lets you play louder before the 'nanny' kicks in which is a plus. But it did sound harsher to my ears and I couldn't bring myself to listen all night in the hope it would get better. So back to 7.1.3 for now until I have more time to evaluate properly. I like the new SAM enough to want to give it another go. As for all the other enhancements; Although they can be good for some, I don't feel a need for them.(22-Jun-2015, 21:40)Pim van Vliet Wrote:(22-Jun-2015, 13:07)Confused Wrote: The Devialet deletes 2 files after a Firmware update, this is so that if you put the configuration and Firmware on one SD card and leave it in the amp, the amp does not repeatedly update the firmware when you power down. If you have dual mono, you need to lock the SD card before updating firmware in the first amp, assuming you want to update both amps with one SD card.
I tried 8.1.0 last weekend and also saw only 15 files after the update but I started with 18! I just checked to make sure and I've got 18 files in my folder, see? By the way, I went back to 7.1.3
Why back to 7.1.3 Pim? What do you think was missing from 8.1?
