Well that was fun! Elsewhere I have mentioned that Devialet cleared out all my stored Configurations on their website which is still outstanding for being fixed. My configuration is very simple as all outputs except Ethernet, Line1 and the speakers are switched off.
Anyway, I decided a bit of DIY was needed if I wanted to have the new firmware so I dropped the current configuration to the desktop and deleted the SD card. I downloaded the new firmware from Devialet’s website and it smoothly installed, then I reloaded the config from the desktop to the SD card, and then fired the Devialet up from Roon. Boom, music came pouring out at quite a volume. Nothing I did could lower or raise the volume. I went to the Devialet controller where it has RoonReady on it which appeared to do nothing.
Only after going to Zones on Roon did I see the new Roon Devialet zone and enabled it which in turn selects RoonReady from the 250. All is now well with the world and my Devialet 250. As to better quality, I will leave that judgement to better ears than my own.
