Core Infinity board

[Confused]

I'm not going to lie, I have some pipe dreams for the streaming board myself and I don't know if it's feasible with the rest of the amp but I want 384kHZ PCM and DSD128.  Since finding HQPlayer I only want to go higher.

If they do it, I'll personally apologize to the CEO for doubting Devialet via Twitter.   I hope you get the opportunity to hold me to it.

Devialet's Mathieu Pernod confirmed at the Oxford Audio 1000 Pro launch event that it was technically possible for the DSD MAT Engine to be updated to run DSD 128.  (This event was eight months ago now, so memories are fading, but I think he was talking about the Expert range & MAT in general at this time, not just the Pro)  So it is possible, and just via a firmware upgrade, no streamer board needed.  The bad news is that I think he also said that there were no plans to implement this in the short term, so this one is probably on a longer time frame than the normal 'soon'.  I guess they need to save something for a future firmware update, not that we've seen many of those recently.  Also, I believe the ADH core runs at 40bit 384khz, so I would have thought that 348kHZ PCM was possible?  This is just conjecture on my part though, there may well be other restrictions that will keep this capped at 192kHZ.

I suspect we could be well into the 2020's before you need to worry about your apology!
