Devialet Chat

Don't see any difference. Anyone else have a clue?

Oh no. It's normal. Just Devialet software...

The only thing I see different is the two optical inputs for Phantom now click when selected so you can choose which has Phantom receives data. It would be appropriate if they released notes on the upgrade........

Also now although spark sees my computer and linked Nas drive it does not recognize any album name ie shows up as unknown album no icon, if you select the album you see each track name, totally frustrating for this amount of money

April fools release [RELIEVED FACE]

Spoke too soon, I reselected the computer in Spark made a new path to the Nas and restarted the spark app, all now perfect, playing without any issues so far will update at of the day

So it seems the update has improved some functionalities...

Just received this email:

Well, at least they're honest in calling it Beta releases....

Thanks Charlemange for sharing the links! I'm using the OSX version and local 24bit/192kHz files now play! So far no interrupt! Ok, I only listining for 5'. But before in Spark 1.0 after 5 seconds the streaming stopped. Now it looks like playing high res local files works. Maybe I was too fast. I got the first drop out for few milliseconds. However, no comparison to before. It's still playing. And of course High res is the most difficult on network streaming. With Qobuz same as before. As long as Qobuz can stream fast enough to the home network it works, however they are migrating to new servers and lately I have often drop outs as e.g. now. The service is not reliable, but independent of the used software on IPad, PC, web interface or in Spark. When one SW receives the music all incl. Spark 1.0 worked fine.
