Core Infinity board

...That has to be a huge expense on an install that they're giving away.  

Are they giving it away? I thought Pro purchasers/upgraders had already paid for it in advance as it wasn't ready and was being used partly as a 'carrot' to lure more sales.

But it sounds like they're making other hardware changes to the main board - which I read as 'they didn't quite get all the specs right for the interface between the two boards so have to do some hacks to accommodate it.'   To be honest I'm more worried about that than the SQ of the board itself since it's not like they're optional.

It's all getting more interesting than I'd hoped. To be honest it's quite a relief after so little happening I wondered if there would ever be anything 'real' about Devialet to discuss again.

I might ask for an extra polish, there's a few faint scratches on the cover plate for example, that I felt they just hadn't polished last time. (But I don't know as I never saw the case before I upgraded). And what could the remote need updating to make more reliable? Maybe they've switched it to wifi signal?

Anyone else had the emails btw? My "upgrade now" ones came through, but not these.

Steve - yeah, I know I "should" feel like I already paid for it, but truthfully, it was too poorly defined for me to even know what it was.  I made the choice for Pro based solely on SQ and am extremely happy with the decision.   From Devialet's perspective, there's no more money from us coming their way on this... sunk cost.

Haven't seen anything from Devialet, so I'm still wondering exactly what this announcement is all about other than possibly setting a date.  Another "leak"?  Who knows.  But truthfully, in what world does it make sense to set a date 3 months out without providing more information on what it is that will be made available.   Devialet is a puzzling company indeed.  

Oh well, I'm trying real hard not to get all caught up in the angst of waiting and wondering.   It will happen when it happens and hopefully we'll all be quite pleased.  Right now, I couldn't be more pleased with the sound of my system.
