RE: Core Infinity board - markush - 01-Nov-2017
Nice to see people are enthusiastic about new hardware possibilities and software opportunities like room correction, more DSP options etc.
But that would need a different approach - as currently not even the most basic features are provided in the software area.
And that consistens of some key components like firmware, iOS remote app / streaming app, API / vendor support like RoonReady etc.

The IC is only missing on the display board though. The official photos on the Devialet site still show it installed.
Do you mean the photo’s in the ‘Core Infinity Log’ (https://help.devialet.com/hc/en-us/sections/115001542345-Expert-Pro-Core-Infinity-Log)? These photo’s made me notice the first time the IC is gone. If you look closely you can see the PCB traces and solder pads are still there but there’s nothing soldered on to them.

That could be possible but I have this feeling they’ve dropped the functionality completely. I believe they’ve just shown both an earlier revision/pre-production board carrying the old name “OS board” and the latest production version with the new name.

There is a complete computer on the CI. The battery keeps the Real Time Clock alive so it will know time and date even if disconnected from mains. Whether this is useful remains to be seen. All my computers are set up to sync with NTP servers on the internet, but still have batteries. The CI could (should) do the same so we'll see what Devialet does.
Maybe your amp can be programmed to wake up and play "Live On Expert"...

You are probably right Antoine. Then I think the 'Dante dongle' is the answer. They have dropped the idea of Dante native on the CI board and will use the dongle instead to do the same thing on Phantoms and Pros. The Pro amps have no latency so that should work. But the optical input? Oh well, we'll see...

Would be disappointing given that for me the Audinate functionality was one of the more interesting features.
RE: Core Infinity board - ada - 02-Nov-2017
Is there anyone with the Core Infinity board on their device? I am suffering a lot to use my unit. Only working input is USB until now. Factory settings bring Bluetooth etc. but none of them are functional. Seems like I have to wait the new Devialet configurator/app to enable the new features of the device. Mobile apps and AIR are also not working.

They sold you a new Expert Pro with the Core Infinity board with no way to configure it?
That's just bad. And sad. And bad customer service.
Have you contacted support?

How do you like the SQ on USB input? Its good that you got a new unit with a new board, so you don't have to send the unit to Paris and then wait for them to return it to you. The downside is, you only get to enjoy USB input for a short while.
RE: Core Infinity board - Rufus McDufus - 03-Nov-2017
It'd be interesting to check whether there's an onboard webserver (someone else mentioned they detected Nginx) running and whether you can connect to it in a browser, i.e. default port 80 or perhaps something else like port 8080? When plugged into the local network via ethernet it's fairly certain to get an IP addresss automatically via DHCP.

I was using the Devialet 220 Pro demo unit (Without the CI board) for last 1 month and there is a big difference in terms of the background and details. But as I only used the old unit for 1 month, I am not sure that much. But for sure, not only me also my wife liked how the new unit sounds.

I was the one that tried to reach the IP via browser and I tried a couple of different page names and ports but I only have the Ngnix welcome page until now. When I try to SSH to the unit, it rejected my RSA Key.
Today, I requested extra information from Devialet as my dealer also doesn't have too much idea about CI board. They promised to send a reply via an email during the day. If they provide any extra information, I will keep here posted.
