Did the vendor specifically say this and if so, did they say why? Is the card reader knackered? If so, then the unit needs to go back to Devialet for repairs as it’s pretty useless without a functioning card reader. Bear in mind that some models can be iffy about size of SD Card used. Use the smallest one you can, 4GB if possible.
Welcome to DC, by the way.
The previous owner explicitly explained this shortcoming, but gave no reason for it. He left me with the impression it was created this way intentionally. He is a seasoned owner who had and has a number of Devialet models. I’ve contacted him to discuss it further to see what I can learn, but I suspect that the reader is probably just roasted.
I used a 4g sd formatted fat16 to do the deed, as all I’ve read indicates this is the device most likely to be successful in updating the unit.
Thanks for the welcome! This forum has been a wealth of information to help me learn more about this strange, but beautiful creature.
