Firmware 12.3.0 + DOS 2.2.2

The one thing that will be more difficult - or maybe I should say time investing - will be the SAM parameters

Indeed, this might be a bit more challenging issue to solve. Maybe there could be a separate feature to check whether there are some updates (new or updated SAM profiles) available, and to download & install the updated SAM profiles. Maybe it could even send me a notification about the available updates, especially if I'm using an old version of the SAM profile (for safety reasons).

Yeah that’s going to be tricky. Presumably they’d never release the ‘secrets’ behind SAM, but they could host the SAM database externally so that it could be accessed by the pro configurator. But if Devialet went under and you got locked into having it disable SAM that would be one thing, being locked into being stuck with the wrong SAM would be another. So as long as you had the ability to disable it while keeping all your other settings at least you could still use your amp if you changed speakers and they weeent around.

I think Roon are there to stay but it’s also a decent business move to publicly state your committed to leaving a Roon that would still run in the event the company ceased to exist. Not sure what the reality of that is with all their external ‘paid for’ metadata but I guess they could leave you without all that but with a system that would still play your files.

Hopefully neither will disappear and we’ll get a local configurator for the experts.

Selecting a speaker just results in a text block insertion in the cfg file which for the same speaker will be the same for everyone so it would just be a matter of selecting all speaker profiles and collect all specific SAM text blocks, build a GUI and some piece of code (not rocket science) en voila. That the beauty of the text file simplicity.
