Hello all and best wishes for this New Year,
Since in receipt of our new CI 440 PRO we haven’t dared touch a thing. Plugged in the dCS via AES and a second Ethernet to check out AIR and all worked well...the improvements wrought by the new board obvious to us.
I have followed the postings of inoperabiliity and other issues with some concern and sympathy.
My question:
Does this latest firmware issue offer any sonic improvements over the one issued with the CI late last year Wondering whether I should wait this one out or hop in.
Thanks for any comments you may offer.
No rush for AirPlay or UpNp or whatever until completely stable.
Best

I've had the same issue-even though preOut is configured to be active in the configurator. PreOut is inactive at startup but you can activate it manually using your remote-have to do it every time you turn the unit back on. Have sent two tickets about this several weeks ago- no response yet.
Let us know if you hear anything back from your ticket.

Let us know if you hear anything back from your ticket. There is no need to switch the pre-outs on and off. They can be left running all of the time as they have been in my system since the word go. This also frees up a remote button. I’ll let you know what Devialet say (probably nothing).

@ waikeywi - Mine shows SW 12.2.2, DOS 2.2.0 BETA 10 as well, I would recommend reapplying the software update. It would appear you are still running an older version.
@ Wdw If you are happy with the sound and functionality at this point in time I would recommend not doing an update at this time, IMHO.

Thanks for your post...will stay put for the time being. All the best...hopefully there is some distance between your home and the mudslides.

@waekewi
Mine shows beta 10. One point to remember is that once you’ve used the update, the Devialet removes one file. You don’t say whether you are using dual amps, but if you are, you must reload the update onto the SD Card to do the update on the second amp.

Or lock the SD card after you have put the update files on it. Then you can do both units without having to reload the update.

I did think of this option, however I was worried that the Devialet might throw a fit because it couldn’t delete the file!

Battle-tested over the last 3 firmware updates.
