Devialet 120 Clipping...No Help from Devialet

[thumb5]

What I notice is that I get a 2-5 songs out of my Devialet with no clipping...sound quality is fine but it seems to be that once it gets hot the clipping starts.  If it was a cabling problem I think it would be constant.

When you say "clipping" do you mean that you can see the meter going into the red on the info display, or are you judging it by sound alone?  For example, could it perhaps be a manifestation of the well-known problems with AIR, rather than clipping?  If you have a source you can plug directly into the Devialet line-level inputs that might help to work out whether AIR is the culprit.

Could you swap the amplifiers round between the two installations?  That might tell you whether there might be a hardware problem with one of the units.

I have tried to do the configuration 4 times now (from scratch) and I keep getting a message on their website: "There was an error generating your configuration file. Please try to go back and download again."

That problem sounds like the one I have when I try to use the Configurator in Safari on OS X.  Maybe worth trying a different browser, if you can (Firefox or Chrome work OK, I think).

Even though I connect only through ethernet I guess having the wifi enabled means it may be searching for wifi?

Yes, it will probably be searching for the wireless access point unless you've disabled wi-fi in the configuration.
