As a loudspeaker I am using the B&W 804 Diamond. I also configured that in the configurator
and BW 804D appears also on the startup screen at the Devialet. Though there is no difference
between SAM On and choosing between 0% and 100% or even having SAM on / off.
Any ideas? 
It definitely isn't right. Delete everything off your SD card. Take it out of your computer and put it back in. Check it's really empy. Then re-do the configuration from start. Good luck!

I did log a ticket with Devialet as I felt SAM was rather subtle with f/w 8.x and not necessarily actually making anything better any more with my Raidhos. The response was that 'SAM is better than it was'. OK, thanks for that...

It's really strange - as SAM on / off should heally make difference - also when changing between 0% and 100% on the B&W 804 Diamond. This one is really capable of some deep frequencies. Though there is no difference in sound, no mather what songs I play. But have to try with an erased SD card and completely new configuration to test again. Really do hope to get any results from this.

I have the same issue with LS50s.
The bass control has an effect but SAM either has no effect or it is extremely subtle, can't really tell which.
The earlier version of SAM had a dramatic effect but not the current version.

For me too - bass control does have an immediate, though SAM obviously (even at 100%) doesn't have a difference at all.
Unfortunately my first Devialet 120 experience with the B&W 804 Diamond is with 8.1.3, so I have no comparison to former firmware versions.
Hope Devialte is investigating into this.
