offline configurator: is it possible? - clint60 - 03-Jan-2015

Hi! I'd love to listen to a Devialet 200, in fact I'm considering getting one, because of the many interesting reviews about it, and because I like this machine's concept. I will try to get a demo, even if all of the resellers in my country are quite far from my town Confused

One thing is worrying me:

Should, for any reason, the Devialet site go offline in the future, how could the amp be configured?

Would it be possible to use the configurator offline, saving the file on a card and update the "amp" settings?

Thank you!

currently no; It IS however possible to create in advance & save locally multiple images for several different configurations.

please note that there is already another recent thread on this same subject.

Hi Clint60, and welcome to the forum

the short answer is "No"! For now, the only option you have is to create several configuration files using the online portal simulating different scenarios and save them all to your hard disk in folders that describe them. And later if need be, you copy them to an SD card and plug it into your Devialet to load the desired configuration

My bad...I did search, but didn't find that thread Angel

Thanks for your kind answers!

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this up as this is just another scare with Devialet. Now back to the configurator to do some iterations.
But what is more worrying is that I have my main source from vinyl and if I decide to change cartridge I may be in trouble if not making some 50-100 different settings, helluva job.

/Mike

Mike and clint60 - I've just updated the thread I started about this, with details of the reply I got from Devialet's support team.


RE: offline configurator: is it possible? - Confused - 04-Jan-2015

I had quite a bit of correspondence last year with Devialet regarding issues with the Configurator, in particular with dual mono. The latest of these is still open, with a statement from Devialet they are aware of some bugs in the configurator and they are working on an update to resolve. It does not look like Devialet are going bust anytime soon, but if anyone did want to make a batch of Configurations as a "just in case insurance", it might be best to wait until the bug free Configurator is up and running!
