Having listened to 8.1.3 for a few weeks now, I'm happy. Who would have thought it? A Devialet owner? Happy? (Just kidding, BTW).
In my system, it's a little bright - on some songs. But, do'you know what? I've experimented for a few weeks now, and I prefer the slight brightness of 8.1.3 to the other FWs.
On female vocals (my thing), it sounds stunning - check out the amazing Rosanne Cash track.

The River & The Thread.
Enjoy!

Sorry I am late to the game. Just received my 200 a couplf of weeks ago with FW7.1.1 installed. Missed verything in between. Could someone be kind enough to send me a copy of the 7.1.3 (or is it 7.1.3 beta) ? Thanks.

Ok, i'm back at 7.1.3beta. In the end this is the only firmware that brings rest en peace in my mind. After listening for 2 weeks to 8.1.3beta i switched back and immediately there was a smile on my face. This is the firmware that was on my devialet when i bought it and i'm still in love with it.

Finally on 8.1.3!
I feel it is cleaner and more 'behaved' or 'balanced'. Though I lost some bass (or at least something bom bom) but also the slight boom/thump I had before. In some way I feel it is a bit more linear through the freq spectra. Also a bit less top freq which seem to contradict others experience.
But formost I lost some loudness, perhaps 5 dB which is surprising as others reported 'louder' character.

Personally LOVE 8.1.3. In my mind it's the best my devialet has delivered. Now I'm afraid to ever upgrade again.
