Yes this is another very strange "feature" or lack thereof of the Devialet.
My guess is they wanted to make it "fool proof" such that even if the data is corrupt in the SD card the user can generate another SD card external from the Devialet. But most programmable machines like the dCS DACs have various safefy schemes, including "make before break", back up existing configuration or default to factory if anything goes wrong.
There are many many ways to fool proof changes in the IT world.
