What was the first firmware the D200 came with?

I understand Devialet have maintained the position that -- with the exception of specific, advertised features like SAM, ICM, RAM, etc. -- they do not expect changes in sound quality with different revisions of firmware. Obviously, as evidenced by the threads on this forum, that doesn't stop people speculating about what changes they think they hear. (I say "think they hear" just to indicate that it's a subjective thing, not to be pejorative about it.)

Also, I don't think Devialet have said that they will not provide support for older firmware versions. So unless/until that is the case, everyone is at liberty to stick with whatever firmware version they want. In which case "all this upgrading" is only a concern to those who want to install every firmware update Devialet release - and that's generally a personal choice.
