Yes, I have the SAM profile loaded. What % do you set it at? I’m at 75% though I can’t profess to be able to tell the difference with 100%! Also, the 220 and 804 D3 combination is Devialet’s refererence presentation in their New York SoHo store.I just leave it at 100% I haven’t bothered trying different settings.
My combination was recommended by my local HiFi store. Initially (due to budget constraints) I went with what was then the 120 with my current speakers, but I took advantage of the Devialet upgrade program. The upgrade to 220 was, as you might expect, very noticeable. Overall, I am very happy with my current set up - now that a range of problems with streaming have been resolved.
