I have actually only just upgraded my D400 to D440 pro and am very pleased with what I feel is an improvement to some important aspects of sound quality. Since many Devialet owners will have upgraded some time ago and will have already formed their own opinions about this, I won't go on!
However I have a problem with my D440 set up which I could do with some help resolving. Sometimes when I switch the amp on from standby or off, the sound seems to be strongly biased to the right hand speaker (powered by the companion amp). There is a loss of volume from the left hand speaker and the imaging is very poor. It sounds out of phase but how could this happen? The effect is temporarily cured by switching off again and restarting.
If anyone has had a similar experience it would be great to hear about a permanent fix!
Wow! Just got my upgraded D440 back from France last week and had exactly the same problem. Right hand speaker was 30% louder after messing around I realized that I had the speaker wires crossed. I corrected it and problem went away immediately.
