Thanks! And do you find isolation accessories and power cable important for Devialet? Sorry, a little bit off topic.
Yes, they are very important.
Also, suitable power conditioning.

After listening for 9.0.1 for a while, I switch back to 7.1.3.
Immediately this brings a smile on my face.
Itzhak Perlman's violin doesn't sound as natural in 9.0.1 compare to 7.1.3.
i feel the emotion from the ballads from Emilie-Claire Barlow and Tord Gustavsen's piano has less sibilants...
Perhaps 7.1.3 is the reason that i acquired my Devialet (the time which the firmware was released).
And this firmware is probably going to stay for some time.
Not to discourage the folks using 9.0.1, it is probably my system that plays a part.
Hope to hear more feedback from rest of the guys.

Hello,
Nice to know that Someone has similar opinions:-)
I agree with that quote, ,,brings a smile on my face"
and 7.1.3 is the reason I STILL OWN 200;-)
Best regards
Chris

Your so right on that. Installed it an I really love 7.1.3.
The width of the soundstage, the bass, the warmth of the mids and highs without loosing any of the airiness.
It gives USB output everything I loved about Ethernet 8.1.3 and some more. No more AIR frustration for me.
Cheers mate!

Happy to hear it:-)
Now I am comparing 7.1.3. with 9.0.1 (DPM OFF!). New firmware has more low tones. Bass is deeper, stronger and firmer. I think is better than in 8.1.3.
But with IMO 9.0.1 there is less airiness and I hear smaller soundstage than with 7.1.3.
