Seems to me that there is more heft and coherence in the low end and ICM for Roku/TV works much better.

Hi folks, i am making the first post here...
Just updated with 9.0.1, i can tell the difference in SQ and it is better than 8.1.3. It definitely sound more natural. i was used to the old reference 7.1.3 and recently just updated with 8.1.3 a few days back. The sound from 8.1.3 seems more hifi sounding and I have to disable DPM and subsonic to my listening preferences. Still never feel satisfy with 8.1.3. Anyway, this is just initial listening, will need to more time for a final verdict on 9.0.1.

I am currently using 7.13 as a little less harsh IMO I actually prefer 8.1.3. Maybe a case of personal preference or system matching, maybe a case that owning a Devialet and with lots of firmware updates eventually drives you insane?

I like 9.0.1. My first impression was the midrange seemed a bit boosted but there could be more bass heft too. It seems a bit clearer, almost as if there's less jitter.

the configurator now supports to use high-pass filtering together with SAM. Not sure when this feature has been introduced, but some month ago it was not possible. This offers some new possibilities together with a Sub.

I agree with You that 8,1,3, sounds more hifi than highendish:-) I used 8.1.3. with my 200 during one month and in the end I wasn't happy with its sound. Now, returning to 7.1.3., during last weeks, I am again happy to own Devialet 200. This firmware has nice smoothness, great details, no treble sibilants and right amount od bass (SAM 20% in my case). I don't have DSD files nor gramophne so I am not interested in new features. I think that Devialet 200 Expert sounds better when its temperature is above 40 degrees. Optimal is around 43...at leat with 7.1.3.

I'm not convinced the SAM profile is any good, or perhaps some other problem - no idea. 9.0.1 doesn't seem to have improved anything for me SAM-wise.

I'm still on 7.1.3 and using configurations from the old configurator. Presumably 9.0.1 is compatible only with configurations from the newer configurator?
