D440 Pro Configuration Pre-Out Stereo

[brownzen]

This might be a silly question, but if you're using it solely as a pre-amp wouldn't you be better off disconnecting the companion, effectively leaving you with a D220 Pro?  I don't see that you'd lose anything, and you'd then be able to configure a stereo pre-out.

Thanks for your reply, it's a possibility I even hadn't thought about it !...

I would have rather prefered to be able to it in a D440 Pro Configuration natively, but you're right I can downgrade in a D220 Pro configuration. That's need to configure a SD card in this mode, unplug the chaining cable, un plug the speakers cables from the companion, to regplug them the master (In D220 mode). I bet that could work but find it a little bit tricky.

Thanks for the tip, but I really hope that Devialet Support will come back to me with a solution more "plug & play"
