All Pro's are Masters?

[pjlarge]

Ah!
ok I am tinkering with the idea to upgrade to my 250 Pro to a 1000 but I haven't really found the courage to take the plunge.
If you had one, just the other side of the ditch perhaps we could have work  out something.

thanks anyway

Just do it - the difference is significant!

I tried it the other way - I have a 1000 Pro and as I was bored one afternoon I configured it up as a single 250.  The soundstage was much narrower, I lasted 10 minutes before putting the system back as a 1000 Pro.

I did also try the companion as a master.  You can pair the remote with it, and when you plug in the RJ45 you get activity lights come on, however the 1000 Pro Companion wouldn't pick up an IP address even when using a config as a 250 Pro.  It was otherwise totally disconnected from its partner, so there must be something in the firmware that disables the ethernet input on the companions.

My question is at some point Devialet said that whilst the unit was back getting the new streamer board, they were going to make some other PCB modifications - to me that would necessitate the master and companion having to go back as in theory they'd both need the modifications to remain 'the same' - I suspect that might be more Devialet BS...
To be honest since putting a Roon Rock in, the whole thing just works.  I'm not convinced this streamer board isn't going to fix one thing but break another.  Part of me wants to leave it as it is!
