@petrik ,
I always assumed that the Devialet's DAC operated at 24/192 because that't the highest resolution it can accept. I hadn't heard that it operated at 40/384 and I'd never seen the 8.1 firmware release because I didn't get my Devialet until they were up to FW10.something.
I downloaded a copy of FW 8.1 from the firmware archive and took a look at the PDF manual that came with it. I couldn't see any mention of the resolution the DAC operated at in the comments about the DAC itself but buried in the comments on the MAT DSD Engine there was the following statement: "MAT DSD Core technology converts the DSD format into Expert internal native PCM 40 bits / 384 kHz format…" so you've got a very good memory.
There doesn't seem to be any mention of this anywhere on Devialet's site in their comments on the technological features of the amp. Many thanks for the info.
