Some sign of Expert line

[Vivialet]

The Expert Pro line is truly an extraordinary bit of state-of-the-art hardware engineering.  But in today’s world, expectations are that the software must also evolve to keep pace.  Early Devialet literature espoused that it would.  The release of the Pro CI stated that it would.  But while Devialet has always excelled in the hardware realm, software has never been their strength (nor has customer communication but that’s a whole separate issue).  So even if there is a firmware update coming (and i have no release to think there is), I’m not holding my breath for any significant improvements.  But hey, I’ll get excited if they just fix/improve the configurator.

I guess the configurator is not the problem, most bugs are in the firmware itself.

I noticed following bugs (only for my configuration with Expert 1000 pro)
if you enable SweetRoom the highpass for the speakers is not working anymore.
if you use SAM you can only use 4 or 5 of the sweet room filters
if you connect the sub to the pre out of a slave changing the output voltage has no effect
the SAM profile for my Giya2 is unusable since the upgrade to SAM2 (reported to Devialet, but never fixed)
changing the cut off frequency for the tone controls does not change anything in the output (measured with REW)

So lots of serious bugs in a 28k amp system...

On the other hand I don't know any other amp with this sound quality which has all these features...
