+ Much better in streaming: now I can listen to a complete album on Qobuz without having tracks beeing skipped. :-) (was a real pain when you "know" your album)
+ Optical input now beeing named "Dialog", "Phantom left" etc. is a +. Possibility to choose "autoswitch" or not: +
+ On Qobuz now with "related artists" like on qobuz.com which makes it easier to enjoy my subscription there
+ until now Spark beeing stable across my 3 main devices (android phone/iPad/windows tablet)
+ Volume control now possible on my volume-devices (android smartphone: slider goes +-1 as it should, on iPad +-3 should be improved)
- no improvement in "stand-by", still no possibility to switch off phantoms
- still no possibility to save playlists
- still no possiblity to browse qobuz/spotify like in the respective native apps.
- still small gaps between tracks in streaming qobuz, though I'm not sure whether qobuz or devialet should work on it.
- NAS Windows Media-Server still a mess (.wpl playlists not recognized and so on). My Surface3 still quite useless with Spark (UI not optimized, browsing my directories still a pain)
- even if "just numbers", changing volume scale from original ("as bought") without warning or possiblity to reverse is not a consumer-friendly move. Why don't we have some explanation from Devialet as to the motivations to do so? I can understand some customers feeling p*. Anyway, I'll get use to the new scale as I didn't notice changes in SQ.
I don't use my phantoms for tv/films and wonder if there have been improvement in that point. As I read the forum, due to sync problems this was not a good idea for "dummies" like me.
