Interestingly comments/thoughts about sound quality changing from firmware update to firmware update are not unique to Devialet, this has also been true of various Auralic Aries firmware updates, wherein in all but one case there was no intent by the manufacturer to change the sound quality. Similarly you can view the release history of Audirvana + with people saving various versions of the product based on certain sound characteristics.

FWIW.
