I'm the happy owner of a Devialet 120 since one week now, I tried to use the tone controls but I encounter a strange issue in the following scenario:
SAM is enabled
SAM is set to 0 % (meaning it does not add any bass at all)
Increasing the bass with the tone control for a few dB on a bass-heavy track introduces an horrible distortion, regardless of the volume setting (i.e. the saturation doesn't come from the speakers)
If I do the same with SAM disabled on the exact same track, I can go up to 18dB with the bass without introducing distortion ! (Although the bass are of course extremely boomy)
I reported the problem to Devialet, I'm awaiting their answer... Anyone experienced the same ?
I'm currently using f/w 7.1.3, because the 8.0 is unusable with SAM on my speakers (BW 683 S2). Devialet is aware of the issue...
