Looks quite nice with the copper bottom contrasting the matt white finish. Unfortunately it still says D-premier on the back cover, would have been nice if they fixed this.
Some Daft Punk on repeat and in about a day i know whether i've been too impulsive
So have you upgraded direct from a D-premier, or have you upgraded previously to a D240/250, and now to Pro? Either way, keep us posted regarding any listening observations!
I upgraded D-premier --> 240/250 --> 250 Pro. Hoping to do some critical listening in the weekend. The new model comes with firmware 10.0.5 installed. I was on 8.1.3 and preferred that. I will check if the Pro is compatible with older firmware in the weekend, but i think i've read that it won't be.
You need V10 firmware to invoke the new ADH. From what I heard listening the D800 vs the 1000 Pro, the new ADH offers a significant hike in performance, more detail, more realism and accuracy. I am 99.9% sure that if a 250 Pro can run 8.1.3, this will almost certainly make it sound worse. Perhaps worth mentioning that I liked 8.1.3 too, but the Pro is a leap ahead.
