Do you have a Devialet with the CI board and, if so, is it an amp that got the board as an upgrade? The reason I ask is because I think the SD card bay is on the CI board and it got replaced with the CI board upgrade. I had problems getting my amp to read my SD card when I got the amp back after the upgrade. For some reason I now find it a little tricky to get the card to seat properly in the slot when I insert it. There's a definite feel to it "clicking in" when it does seat properly. In my case I find actually pushing the card in from the right rear corner (the corner closest to the centre of the amp) seems to make it easier. Maybe it's just that whatever the card slots into is aligned a fraction crooked on the board or something. I never noticed this problem before the CI upgrade which is why I think the SD board connection is physically attached to the CI board and was replaced in the upgrade process.
If the display says "Factory Config" when the amp is booting that means the card isn't being read and the problem could easily be that it isn't seated in the slot properly. Try pushing the card in and rocking the finger you're pushing it in with a bit to the left and right so you feel the card move slightly and see if you can get it to seat solidly in the slot. There is a difference in feel once it seats properly and once it's seated properly and the amp recognises it you should see your config file loading.
I found this process a bit annoying at first but now I'm used to it I just do it automatically and rarely have a problem
