It's just my wild guess.

Something you should know about optical fibre cable; The narrower the cable, the easier it is to keep the light going straight through instead of bouncing from wall to wall (resulting in delays that can result in jitter / loss of signal) 

Standard Toslink cable is 1mm thick (the fibre part) which is enormous for light (a bit like a 6 lane highway for a remote controlled toy car) For internet and telephone, the narrower they can make the cable, the more precise they can get the light through. Then there's also the option of deliberately bouncing the light at different angles so you can send different packages at the same time (in much the same way as antenna polarisation horizontally or vertically but much more precise and at more angles) As far as I know Toslink is a 'straight through' system.

So if your cable is thin that might well be the reason it is the only one that works. You might have a winner there. Keep it!


Have you tried 192kHz with 7.1.1? It can't be just the cable that made it work surely?

"Meanwhile over on the Devialet stand you will be able to clap eyes on the gorgeous looking Phantom wireless speaker we saw at the Bristol Show back in February. The company will also be introducing the 8.0 firmware update for its Expert range."

So, 8.0 is confirmed for Expert line.

Once the system fully upgraded, I removed the SD card to remove all the files to copy the Configuration file. I could see only 15 files in the SD. does this mean couple of them got copied into Devialet?

Is this common

After updating my firmware to 7.3, I too noticed that only 15 files were left from the original 17. Next update (maybe next week) I'll make sure to lock the SD card beforehand, just to be on the safe side.

This is very strange.  Can anyone explain why the Devialet would delete files from the SD card?  For dual mono users, if you didn't notice or lock the SD card, what gets loaded onto the companion amp if you use the SD after loading the firmware onto the master?

Obviously locking the SD card mitigates the issue, but I'm puzzled nonetheless, and I bet a few dual mono users have loaded the beta firmware without locking the SD card.  Curious!
