Upgrade program kick-off

[JohnWyatt34]

So have you upgraded direct from a D-premier, or have you upgraded previously to a D240/250, and now to Pro?  Either way, keep us posted regarding any listening observations!

I upgraded D-premier --> 240/250 --> 250 Pro. Hoping to do some critical listening in the weekend. The new model comes with firmware 10.0.5 installed. I was on 8.1.3 and preferred that. I will check if the Pro is compatible with older firmware in the weekend, but i think i've read that it won't be. Amp is shipped with an Audioquest NRG X powercord. Won't be using it probably but it looks better than the standard cable they provided in previous models. They also changed my remote, since i have a matt white amp, the remote was also completely white. They now made the dial black, the rest of it remained white.

Did I misunderstand or are you saying first impressions are you preferred what you had and f/w 8.1.3? Or just that previously you'd preferred f/w 8 over f/w 10?

I preferred 8.1.3 over 10.X.X on Le 250, not on the Pro 250 (haven't listened to that one yet if it's possible at all). Can't give any first impressions on the 250 Pro yet. I just connected it, put some tracks on repeat and went to work.
