Well that's 2 firmware major number increases now with no significant improvements or features for regular D120,D200,D400,D800 users.
Doesn't beat 7.1.3 firmware for me. Too bad, because I don't like using such an old firmware.
The bass is too controlled with 10.0.2 for me. A lot of the warmth in the lows and mids are gone.
Airiness and brightness of 10.0.2 seem fine though, maybe a bit brighter I would say (which I don't need). Have to A/B that a bit more.
But a big no on the bass / warmth of the low & mids for me, that's for sure.
Don't like the new display either. The circle of dots when loading is replaced by a horizontal bar that fills up.
Also the 200 of the model has a much smaller font now and feels tiny.
The circle of dots that represent the volume is made of more dots now.
All feels less designed like it did before.
I'm back on 7.1.3!

Good, a positive post - even thought the conclusion was negative
Perhaps the FW is not intended for users of 'lesser' models like the 200.
I agree that 7.1.3 is a good place to stop unless you need SAM for speakers from FW 8+
OMFG; They release a firmware version that adds performance and value to the hardware already installed in the O d'A and people still complain.

Yep, and if you don't complain you're not 'one of us' and nobody will love you

Interesting comments Cylob. Can you explain what you mean by bass being 'too controlled'? In the context you have written this, it is clearly a negative for you, but 'too controlled' sounds like a positive to me! How can you have too much control of the bass? I know that describing listening experiences in words is incredibly difficult to do (I'm rubbish at it!), I am just trying to understand this one.

If you are wining about me, I simply stated a fact. Other than that I see one person indicate the sound quality still isn't as good as 7.1.3. Not sure what you are OMFGing about.
Hello.
I found one strange thing when using new firmware 10.0.2. Is there anybody who can verify my situation.
When I press ,,source" button for a bit longer, then i see on display frequency for exemple 44.1 and then Devialet turn off and restart. With firmware 9 I didn't have this problem...after displaying me actual frequency it displayed me name of my SAMed loudspeakers.
I like new display layout and colors. IMO positive change.
Sound? I Need to test it for some days...
...and free of charge!
