I only upgraded for improvement in sound quality and I am not "...left wanting or sorely disappointed". On the contrary. And calling the change "infinitesimal benefits to sound quality" is just plain nonsense and a discredit to the developers at Devialet. Of course they aim for better sound quality - and we benefit.
I think @RebelMan makes a point - but I'm not sure to what end. For me, improvement in sound quality was only a small part of the reason to upgrade to the Pro. The primary reason was to stay current with the Devialet line... to be able to take advantage of newer firmware/OS upgrades, new functionality, etc... I don't believe Devialet ever claimed the reason to upgrade was solely for sound quality and somehow doubt that was anyone's primary motive to do so (but if it is, listen to @RebelMan ;-)
Now, upgrading from a 120 to a 220 Pro... that would not disappoint.
