Devialet 220 remote control issue

[thumb5]

For what it's worth, I've seen the same trend: the remote that came with my original 170 had a nice feel to it - there were detents but they felt very "even" and didn't detract from the smoothness. When the unit went to Devialet to be upgraded to a 440 Pro, the remote that came back definitely felt as though it had a more grainy feel, and that was repeated when the amp was upgraded with the Core Infinity board. The rotary knob felt both stiffer and "rougher". I'm pretty sure Devialet changed the internals of the remote control at each upgrade - they did insist on having it sent back both times.

Incidentally, I don't think the remote control was ever as smooth and nicely weighted as one supplied with the 250/1000.
