NEW OWNER - 130 PRO - initial setup
#2
Hi CC,

Welcome to the forum and to the wild world of Devialet. Congrats on the D130 Pro. I am absolutely certain you will be astounded at the difference.

As always, patience is a virtue in unpacking things. I'm also using a plain Sonos connect. I run ethernet from my router to the Sonos and to the Dev. The songs is connected to the D by an optical cable; the one near the SD card slot, so optical 1.

Go to the configurator on the Devialet website and set up a configuration. Here you determine which connecitions on the back of the Dev are operational, and adjust settings. You click on the image of the connection point to turn it on or off, and then above that, there is a 'settings' tab. Enter your wifi info there- over the wifi icon.

Save the config with a name, whatever you want, but short is good as it appears in the display on the amp. Copy the config file to the SD card, and put it in the amp. It will load automatically. The Devialet site is a bit circuitous, but you'll figure it out. You'll like make changes to the config file as well. You can save them in folders with descriptive names, but do not change the name of the downloaded file. You must always remember to drag the config file from the SD card to the trash and empty it before loading new config file onto it.

Too much to tell in the set up, but that is a start. Also get the Devialet AIR thingy for your computer. Can't remember where it is; on their site, under firmware?

I upgraded to a Pro, and my sense is that the Sonos, unmodified, is not quite fit for the game. But many posts about that here already, and still working on that. But even with the Sonos, the sound quality is captivating.

I think my amp is settling down a bit, esp in the treble, but my D120 changed for the better after about 60 hours of playing.

There are many helpful and knowledgeable members here, so check around for guidance, and then ask around.
