New firmware 8.1.3

[MusicFirst]

Oh well .....   After endless weeks of firmware and configuration swapping I was finally happy with 8.1.3 (non beta).  But you evil lot have set me thinking that maybe I should give 8.1.3beta a go, with my current 4GB card encoded configurations.  To be honest though, I really have had enough of SD card swapping and critical listening, plus all this has genuinely sent me bonkers.  I will probably end up trying this, but I think I will leave to mid August at least.  We'll probably have 8.1.5 or something by then anyway.......

8.1.3 is too hot, with the result that I've had to use tone controls for the first time to dial down the treble.  SAM is also unusable on my Akurates - weird, very boomy, hollow sounding bass - so I've switched it off.  

I could contact Devialet and ask them to investigate, but I'm with you, Confused.  I couldn't be bothered getting another firmware version which will inevitably be superseded within a few weeks. Getting equally fed up with all this palaver.  Rant over.

I guess I could understand where some systems could result in the 8.1.3 beta FW (and by extension 8.1.3 official release) sounding too bright.  That is definitely not where my system is/was sitting sonically.
