Room is not bright carpeted / large sofas / curtains thows etc. The wilson Benesch speakers are very fast and revealing - if a source is bright and harsh they will reveal it! - one of the reasons I've been looking at changing them for some time, - the devialet was their saviour.

Deviant, did you try v8 with DPM ON (default) or OFF? If ON then we both have very preference in firmware, yet totally different kit (except the D200).
Is your room in any way bright or on the brighter side? I only ask as mine is, and I wonder how much this plays a part. Of course, it could be purely the firmware but I was just curious.
Hopefully you have some saved configs for v 7.1.1…. I'm going to email Devialet support and ask about the backwards compatibility as it really worries me, it kind of reduces my amps configurability to zero at this point.
