Re: Firmware 8.0
It's interesting to see DSD supported over all the digital inputs: USB, coax, AES/EBU, etc and not just USB.
I'm very curious about SAM V2.My Systems: http://www.audioshark.org/showthread...481#post158481

Re: Firmware 8.0
You would understand if you could see the collection of SD cards on my desk - as I have been trying many configurations during the last three weeks I already have more than ten, and now I must duplicate a few of them. The 400's need two cards, five configurations in two firmware versions will need twenty SD cards! IMHO it is the only way to carry proper evaluations.

Re: Firmware 8.0
I got the firmware and two extra SD cards, however the Devialet site is now down for maintenance, displaying:
"We are busy updating our website. Enjoy your favourite tune, we will be back very soon"
Some people at the Devialet chat say that the new firmware asks for a new configuration file, I am not taking risks and I am still enjoying my music using firmware 7.1!

Re: Firmware 8.0
Did I read the original post correctly that the DSD will be over PCM? Perhaps someday there will be pure DSD?

Freaky reading about DSP upgrades.... Much like a HT processor or even a PC!
Let's hope there is no way to brick your box as you venture into the lifecycle norm of periodic firmware updates...

Firmware 8.0
Been listening to 8.0 for about an hour. Completely blown away. DSD sounds amazing. I don't know exactly what DPM does, but holy crap, it sounds like I'm listening to one of the fastest amps I've ever heard.

Re: Firmware 8.0
More info on MAT®, Minimal Arithmetic Transform: DSD Engine:
MAT® converts DSD into 40bit/384 kHz, thanks to an optimised algorithm limiting the amount of computational operations on the audio stream. Using only 15 bit perfect additions (no multiplication, no storage) MAT algorithm performs a 128 taps, linear phase FIR (Finite Impulse Response) digital filter ensuring the conversion of the DSD format into the internal native PCM format.

Re: Firmware 8.0
There's been a number of reports of problems with SAM 2.0 on the Devialet Chat forum.
"Low frequency rumble & beating noise, as well as the glitches."
Any AS members who've load the 8.0 Firmware experienced this?
Also, has anyone tested 8.0 with DPM and the Subsonic Filter off (they're both on by default)?
BTW, a number of people have switched back to 7.1.1 or the beta 7.1.3 Firmware.

How do I install the new firmware? I downloaded then cut/pasted the 17 files to the SD card- which evidently isn't the way to do it!.
