So no more firmware upgrades for me either. Its been an interesting, if at times slightly frustrating journey past 2 years.
However, I have a 250 on the 9.-- firmware, Air3 for Mac, all working fine and sounding beautiful. I can stream fully integrated Qobuz via my iPad app and the Mac Mini. Nothing crashes. No white noise. Have a few tweaks, a music works mains cable, a good bamboo Quadraspire rack, solid heavy Atacama speaker stands on granite blocks. So finally got there.
I don't feel the need to start an upgrade cycle, that would end up with no doubt changing speakers, a 1000 pro and lots of angst on the way. I did that with Naim, and Devialet was a move to just enjoying the music. Gold phantoms might be a move more in that direction, but I find the design a bit ugly and they would look a bit weird in our 1895 - antique furniture, fireplace, cornicing, picture rails, stained glass etc lounge
Devialet Chat has been very helpful with the FW updates, AIR woes etc.
