I got it now so no need for others to send it as well - good to have so many helpful friends.(24-Jul-2015, 20:07)Hyperhenry Wrote: Hello Friends However when I try to install 7.1.3. I always get a "Flash Error A349 on adh_0303.hex" upgrade failed. So maybe there is now way back to 7.1.3 once you have upgraded to 8.1.3 - did anyone try this - or have an idea what this error is about? - It is strange because that adh_0303.hex file seems to be the same on all versions since. Interesting if somebody else has the same experioence. Cheers Henry RE: New firmware 8.1.3 - Confused - 24-Jul-2015 Due to my various 8.x.x and SAM 2 issues, I have switched back to 7.1.3 a few times now without any issues. As a wild stab in the dark, I recall NickB mentioning once that there can be issues with some higher capacity SD cards in the D200.

Cheers Henry RE: New firmware 8.1.3 - CharlesL - 25-Jul-2015 Is the current configuration compatible with 7.1.3 ? Is there a way to get a config file compatible with 7.1.3 other than the factory default? RE: New firmware 8.1.3 - bernardl - 25-Jul-2015 I Installed 8.1.3 on my D250 yesterday and am currently browsing though some favorites. Connection is my usual USB. The sound is very good in my book, I didn't do a blind comparison but to my ears it is as good as it ever was.

As a wild stab in the dark, I recall NickB mentioning once that there can be issues with some higher capacity SD cards in the D200.In fact on page 11 of the user guide, it warns: "NB IF you use other SD cards, ensure that their capacity does not exceed 4GB" RE: New firmware 8.1.3 - devi63 - 25-Jul-2015 Hi friends, my first post here...;-) Coming from 8.1.2 I also find the highs of 8.1.3 more/too brilliant. As I don't use SAM due to my speakers, and having read all the good comments about 7.1.3 - could anyone send me the files please? Thanks very much in advance! RE: New firmware 8.1.3 - windler - 25-Jul-2015 I have tested 8.1.3 comparing to 8.1.2 the bass is dark and boomy the high are more clear but less realistic It was the same result as 7.1.3 . I revert back 8.1.2 . I cannot understand Devialet QA process . I can understand that they can release fix for features that they miss in QA process . What I cannot understand is how minor releases are sound so difference . I also not sure that reverse form 8.1.3 back 8.1.2 is without leftovers from 8.1.3 RE: New firmware 8.1.3 - Yippedidou - 25-Jul-2015 Installed 8.1.3 yesterday and listened to music all evening and again this morning. I cannot pinpoint a clear difference between 8.1.2 and 8.1.3. I have DPM on and SAM at 50% with bass flat (0db) same setting for both version of FW. Maybe it is system/speaker dependant since the change in FW adresses only certain speakers on SAM 2. I'm very happy with 8.1.3. l loved 7.1.3 but this new version ( as was 8.1.2 also ) is as good. All a matter of taste IMO. The thing I wished Devialet would address is AIR. My friend (he has a d120) and I tried everything but still cannot get it to run without white noise. For me, thats a pity. Maybe they're working on it but frankly, I'm not too optimistic. Too bad because when it works, the sound is really good. RE: New firmware 8.1.3 - brit - 25-Jul-2015 Have taken time out from sipping Whisky, and testing reclining chair, and have installed 8.1.3 with DPM on . Have used my existing Configuration from 8.1.2 and all works well. Sounds fine to me, as have 7.1.3 and 8.1.2. I am afraid that I have reached an age where my hearing is not capable of distinguishing subtle differences in SQ (and IMHO that is all there would likely be between the FW versions), so I leave it to those with better ears than mine to debate (sometimes at great length it appears ) the minutia in SQ between FW versions - I do enjoy reading these debates, so please feel free to keep it up . Enjoy the weekend, and Happy listening. David |
