Hi Everybody,
(first post, but been busy reading various old posts... Thanks for all the info!)
I only own my devialet for about a year or so, and already went through three different versions of the firmware - always going up the scale so to speak.
This is the first time I went "down". Thank you to member Rusfus for being so kind in making all the old versions available!
Since I mostly listen to records, I kinda was surprised at first to find that firmware 7 doesn't have the RAM-feature (haven't checked SAM yet, but that feature didn't seem to make that much of a difference with my speakers anyway).
Never mind, I started listening and sure loved what I heard. In fact, I had a hard time quitting and turning off the amp.
I agree, it sounds pretty engaging and smooth. Didn't feel like I was lacking anything from what I was used to hearing. On the contrary, playback had great staging, intense detail and coherence. Very musical and laidback too. Makes you really want to sit back and listen for hours on end.
I'd have to go back and forth a bit to see if the switch really does make any kind of difference, but so far, I like what I hear!
I was under the impression that the amp seemed to run a bit hotter?
Geez, these Devialets are lots of fun.
Thanks for having me on this forum!
