Talking to the Devialet guy (Mathieu Pernod) at OAC this week, 8.1.3beta does indeed fix some SAM 2 issues. I loaded it up late last night and have not had a chance for any serious listening yet, but with a quick listen, the bass issues I mentioned previously have change dramatically, maybe over to not enough SAM effect now. It's early days though, I'll post more when I get a chance for a few hours listening. 8.1.3beta is most definitely different though! Looks promising so far ....
@Floyd - Out of interest, what speakers are you running. It looks like your issues are similar to mine with the KEF Blade?

I'm seeing some very odd behaviour with my D200 since upgrading to 8.1.2.
My unit is configured to default to Dig-1 source at -40dB at startup.
I noticed that sometimes when I startup it shows the correct -40dB on the display but the volume is actually significantly louder than this and I have to reduce the volume to -55/-60 dB to achieve normal listening levels. When this occurs the sound seems distorted, particularly noticeable on spoken voice.
After some experimentation it appears that this occurs when the last source I'm listening too before going into standby is the phono stage.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm Martin

I upgraded to v8.1.2 and my setup is working flawlessly, including SAM with my ProAc Response D30R floorstanding speakers.
Note that I do not use AIR.

it seems as if SAM 2 is still under construction. I have also contacted Devialet because SAM 2 had nearly no effect anymore compared to SAM 1. They have confirmed that the profile for my Giya G2 was wrong and they have updated the configurator. Now I have the problem that the bass is too fat and boomy even if SAM is set to 0%, I have measured a 7db increase around 70hz. So the profile seems not to be fully compatible with the algorithm in 8.1.2. I hope that 8.1.3 is fixing this problem.
