I am one of those having recurrent problems with a Devialet Expert 220 Pro and streaming via Roon. I decided to use a 100Mbps switch to connect the Devialet, as a Gigabit connection is a non-starter. It works fine for a few days this way and then the problem recurs. The short-term fix is to unplug the Devialet and pull the SD card so it reverts to a factory configuration; then I push the the SD card back in so it loads my preferred configuration. Obviously, this is not a long-term solution.
I have conveyed the issue to Devialet. Today, Karen responded with these two questions:
1) Does the Devialet Expert app on your phone still work? (i.e., control of the amp and visual feedback of the screen). The answer is no. The Devialet app, whether on my phone or iPad, just doesn’t connect.
2) the device continues to collect an IP address, this being visible from the info menu on the Ethernet or WiFi interface? The answer is no. The IP address (Ethernet and WiFi) on the information menu comes and goes, as if the device were getting a signal and then not getting a signal.
So, consider this an update for those of you having similar problems. Not sure what Devialet might be doing after months of this experience…
