Before buying a used Expert Pro 130, I have some questions about the CI board please -
1. How do I make sure the 130 has the CI on it other than just asking the seller who doesn't seem to know much about it?
2. Just in case, if it is not really installed - does Devialet still offer the free upgrade?
Thanks in advance

1. Ask the seller to send you a screen capture of his Devialet account which shows the amps current status.
2. Yes.

Maybe also check the firmware version shown on the display - should be 12.something (I think) if the CI is installed.

Thanks for all the answers.
I googled before but couldn't find anything but just now found the best way is to check the hardware version
HW 6.0 (Pro product with no Core Infinity)
HW 6.2 (Pro product with Core Infinity)

You just need to look on the display when the amplifier is in standby, if the CI is fitted the display will show ‘Core Infinity’ in small letters under the model name.
I don’t see any reason why it would not still qualify for the free CI update if it’s already a Pro model.
