Core Infinity board - NickB - 19-Oct-2017 Perhaps the mains filtering in Expert Pros is more effective than that in Naim pre-amps which is why you are able to use PLCs successfully? [/quote] I think you will find that the difference is that there IS mains filtering in Expert Pro PSU’s.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/quote] Nick, are you saying that because of Devialet implementing PLC their implementation of the mains filtering makes it better? Just trying to understand so if would like to know more.

This reminds me of what Guillaume wrote somewhere ages ago when the streamer board was first announced. He was told that Devialet were going to come up with something "very special". So far, the announcements made are just a tad too ordinary to be called 'very special'. Knowing what Devialet are capable off and how they have always surprised us with stuff we didn't even know we wanted I'm exited about the next few months. RE: Core Infinity board - Confused - 19-Oct-2017 The use of PLC and mains filtering was discussed at the 1000 Pro launch event back in July 2016. Devialet's Mathieu Pernod explained that the PEM used in the D-Premier, Expert and Od'A will filter out PLC signals. The Pro with the new OS board is designed to work with PLC together with Phantoms. So mains goes in to the Devialet un-filtered, PLC can then go to the new streamer board, the mains is then filtered further inside the Devialet to power the amp/DAC itself. Apparently the mains filtration in the Pro is superior to that used in the Expert, which itself is clearly good enough to filter out PLC. Personally, I would not want to use PLC for audio for noise / sound quality reasons. That said, I am not worried that it is being included as a feature. If you happen to need it, then it's available, if you do not want to use it, then disable it in the configurator.

I can understand that a fully analog design with a linear PSU gets affected by PLC if you have anywhere some non linear distortion that results in frequency components that fall back in the audible frequency band. The design of the Devialet with its switched PSU and its ADH design is very different. In particular there are intrinsically high frequency signals (inherent to the class D amplifiers) that need to be efficiently rejected by the A part of the ADH, and therefore I am convinced that class D amplifiers and ADH amplifiers are much more immune to the effect of PLC than pure analog amplifiers.

On the market there are special high-quality PLC filter modules, for audio applications !! RE: Core Infinity board - Gerronwithit - 20-Oct-2017 Why are we still conjecturing about the makeup and functionality of this board? Weren't we supposed to be being invited by Devialet to send our Pros for the upgrade by now? I thought the first emails should have been sent by now. My own delay is over a year from buying my 250 Pro. RE: Core Infinity board - Hifi_swlon - 20-Oct-2017 So.... I check in on the forum having barely visited in a month, and unless I've missed something, Devialet are as predictable as ever. Perhaps someone could correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding from the latest posts here: -The release of the board is delayed as they haven't finished the software/firmware yet (as predicted in my signature ). -when they do release it, it won't have the few features they've actually announced so far, like Qobuz, because they're not finished yet, they'll follow at a non-specific 'later' date. -there's still no information about the rest of the featureset hidden in the 'three dots' menu under the 'exciting future announcements' BS. - it won't be RoonReady but Roon's AIR implementation should still work. - Devialet said they'd love to share the journey with us, yet have done the complete opposite over the past six months to a year. So basically you'll get a new board with, as far as I can understand it, no new functionality whatsoever? Very exciting! I can't wait to ship my unit back to get in line to get.... nothing useful whatsoever. Business as usual then, I'll check back in November/December and see if there's anything working that will actually make it worthwhile sending the Pro back to France. Good to see there are a few people still positive about Devialet's amazing talents! RE: Core Infinity board - Pim - 20-Oct-2017 (20-Oct-2017, 16:44)Hifi_swlon Wrote: So.... Improved USB input |
