No I had the opposite problem. I re-wrote the config file and put it on the card alongside the update files prior to update. I tend to do this to avoid having to the extra step of adding a new config file after the firmware update.
It's possible that the unit just tried to reboot (running firmware 8.0) and didn't recognise the 8.1 config file. I might raise a bug report as there could be a logic problem there. I'm good at breaking thing...

The install went well. I haven't had time to listen critically but music is playing.

OK, I'm retracting me being happy with Devialet, they f#cked up again and re-introduced a bug previously fixed (back in July 2013!).
The crossover filter settings are not applied when pre-out is on. This means a full range signal is always outputted to the main speakers whether pre-out is on or off. I though the bass sounded a bit fat so I tested with a 20Hz test tone (I do this every firmware upgrade) and the woofers on my mains were moving too much, clear indicator of the issue.
Since there is no workaround I know of I have to go back to 8.0, report this to Devialet and will probably have to wait for 8.1.1...
edit: will try creating a config from scratch first.
edit2: creating a new config from scratch did not help. Reverted back to 8.0: issue confirmed, it works OK again. Reporting this to Devialet now.
edit 3, update 12-6:
Good news for me and of course those others using subwoofers connected to the pre-out output of their Devialets and/or use the crossover settings inside the Devialet.
They got back to me today and Devialet has solved the issue described above by issuing a new firmware package. It has the same version but the IHM file inside is newer and has a date-/timestamp of 12-6-2015 14:13. Anyone can download it from their website using the regular download link.
I've tested it and it works like it should again!
Thank you again Devialet for quickly resolving the issue. I am a happy camper again!!

I'll have a look & listen this weekend. The weather is just too nice to be mucking about with firmwares and configs and such.

There ya go Antoine... stole my wind. S'worth a shot!

As it's now possible to switch DPM on or off dynamically I just gave this a quick go while playing music. I have to admit I can't hear any difference when A/B switching. I like the improved thermal regulation when it's on so keeping it that way.

Funky bass issues with SAM been fixed?

I'm afraid I don't understand that expression. What do you mean exactly?
PS: I edited my post above. New config from scratch did not help, reverting back to 8.0 did.

I'm sure you guys received the same email from Devialet about an hour ago announcing FW 8.1. I had to laugh very hard after reading this statement: "Driven by Devialet’s obsession with excellence, we are happy to share with you today the result of their work."
blablabla bla bla BLA!
They're excellent at creating bugs and and apparently even re-creating old bugs. I'll stop ranting now.

Impossible to create a configuration with SAM enabled for the B&W 683 S2... (the amplifier keeps on complaining that the SAM version is old) Works with other speaker models. Indeed, the configuration file contains version "2" instead of "21" if I select another model. Extremely frustrating...
