Resurrecting this 3-year old post as it hits a nerve with me
One cannot help comparing the Devialet with high-end Japanese audio equipment. A NAD T778 AVR costing about 3/5 as much as 220PPro CI and with many similar functions, programmable inputs and outputs, can resolve DSD 512 comes with menu-driven and searchable instruction files, with pictures, diagrams, examples and explicit explanations. It is also sorted into "For the beginner", "Enthusiast" and "Professional installer" with 22mb of text and pictures, 18 video files in 22 languages and a total of 1075 pages of instruction, if you add up all the sections. All this on a DVD and a USB memory stick
Working through this, everything described is easily translated to use of the AVR
With Devialet you are left to send an email or message to the head office and may just get a reply that answers some of your questions
I am quite sure that very few of Devialet's users are technically savvy and you cannot expect the installer to keep attending to real and imagined faults
Devialet said the request to disable wi-fi when an Ethernet cable is plugged in was at the request of Apple
