Devialet Chat

Hi,
I started in February-16 with a pair of 45 day trial Silver Phantoms, and they had a over the top Sub-bass Sound ( have written about this in other threads that the system did sound lika a 2+1 with the Sub-woofer unit turned up too much)
however I returned them to Devialet and bought a pair of second hand Silver Phantoms that now have about 9 months on the clock
I immediate found that the Bass sound was much more modest ( from the second hand units), but I don't know if it was the different production dates or that exactly when I installed them the big SW up-date with Radio and stuff came.

Now on the other hand it is almost like the bass is to weak if I don't go through my Sonos and use the EQ.
I only use Tidal + Spotify as my sources.

I understand that most of you only have got one pair ..but have the sound changed dramatically for you over time or by FW up-dates ?

I've had two pairs of Silver Phantom, and both changed from a bit bassy to more neutral after about 100 hours. Never experienced a change in sound due to FW updates.

Interesting. I had a single Phantom and then added a second one a few weeks later. The first one had about 100 hours on it, but I didn't become aware of any imbalance between the two speakers, which you would expect if there was such a change.

I bought a single white in February 2015 and then added a second one a year later. They both sound identical but bass was reduced sequentially with each FW update

If you're using Spark make sure you haven't accidentally turned on Night mode.

If got two pairs of white and from my experience minimum burn in is 100h.

I second fcs impression that bass was reduced every FW update

I second it as well. Without a doubt have the bass been turned way down around 1.3 fw.
