Problems with Core Infinity

[Damon]

I have a CI upgraded 220. The other evening I cycled through the various screens on the amp, and it does have a message saying the wifi is not connected, or on... I redid the config and it is on in the configurator. So wifi does not seem to be functional. I realize that I'm using the digital 1/ coax input only, so everything works for me as before.... possibly a benefit to a very simple system. I don't use the ethernet input (I don't think so at least) and the iPhone remote is not working. Again, not a big deal for me, but that is just me.

I realize that I have the new hardware, but not the software to make it go- in my case, that is not a problem. For many others, it clearly will be.

I think it would have helped if their communication had indicated more clearly/ very clearly that the function of the board and amp would not be ready at the same time as the hardware. Even to say which aspects of the amp would not be functional with the CI board installed. That would have helped those with more advanced set ups decide on when to actually send in amps for the upgrade and would have helped avoid disappointment. Sure sounds good, though.

Off-topic but in reference to posts above, Devialet has nothing on Naim in terms of confusion, annoyance, buggy software or unreliable connections. Or cryptic support or arrogance. IMH experience.
