Firmware update 1.3.0.x

[fis65]

Hello. I feel also frustrated about the new volume control. But I would like your comment on the following:
Is it only me, or there is something different with the dynamics of Phantom especially in the lower frequency range? In my opinion the lower part of the frequency spectrum is a bit muffled, lacks the clarity and power it used to have. Overall, the sound is not so spectacular as it used to be. The mids and highs are OK, but I do not find anymore the rich extraordinary sound I used to have.

Thank you.

Hi. My impression is also that the sound seems to have acquired a different equalisation for the frequency spectrum and the midrange is less clear even around 35 volume and the lower frequencies have started to sound like a subwoofer, from a very natural sound reproduction. It used to have a lot of clarity for guitar music and that is now gone. As you say, the rich extraordinary sound seems to have become a lot more ordinary. 

I think it is a by-product of the mathematics of the volume treatment, but for the time being Devialet doesn't support return to the old firmware, which I find amazing.

Hi,
I'm new here, but I've registered to this forum, because I was searching information, as we have same problems, experience.
So I share the frustration related to the volume control and the sound is like londonuser described!

I've contacted Devialet as well, they've promised to answer me soon. I proposed to read these comments as well, to them.

Hope to get back the fullbodied clear sound of the previous FW!
