Hello all,
I just bought a brand new D400 from a local dealer. It is now up and running and producing glorious sound.
While customizing my configuration on the Devialet website, I noticed that the most recent firmware is v10.1.0 while my amps are running v8.1.3. I assume there would be some benefits to updating to the current version.
I tried to do the update following the procedure described on the "support" pages of the devialet site. After dowloading and decompressing the package, I got a directory "10.1.0/FW 10.1.0/*.hex" where *.hex stands for a bunch of hex files.
At that point I found that the instructions were not clear on the following issues:
1) Does the update need to be applied only to the master amp or to both the master and the slave?
2) What should I write exactly on the SD card:
a) the whole tree mentioned above "10.1.0/FW 10.1.0/*.hex"
b) the subtree "FW 10.1.0/*.hex"
c) only the hex files "*.hex"
I tried the following:
- Update the master amp only. Done by switching the amps off, replacing the master's config card with a card containing only the firmware files.
- To that end, I tried in turn 2a, 2b and 2c
None of the above was successful. The master amp would immediately fall back on its factory configuration (namely a generic D200), ignoring the SD card altogether.
Thanks in advance for your help with this update procedure,
Pierre
