Core Infinity board

[Confused]

I managed to find a little time to visit Oxford Audio this week during their 'SAM Lab' event. I spent a while watching the Devialet guys doing their SAM Lab stuff, which was certainly very interesting. During this there was some casual chat about all things Devialet, and as you might expect the topic of the OS Board came up. The interesting thing here was that when discussing the OS Board, one of the Devialet guys asked if I used Roon, so they raised the Roon topic, not me or anyone else. Then one of the Devialet guys then went into full Devialet cryptic mode, saying something along the lines of 'if you like Roon then you will not be disappointed but you will need to be a little patient'. He did have a very sincere looking smile on his face when he said this. I also asked if Mathieu Pernot had any involvement with the design of the streamer board, the two Devialet SAM guys discussed this point between themselves for a few seconds, almost like they were not 100% sure, before responding with a very clear 'yes'.

We then had a conversation regarding how the Devialet extracts clock signals from AES3 feeds, referring to how different sources influence the resulting sound quality. This conversation did not really go anywhere, I think what they were trying to say was that the amp generates its own clock signals and is basically source agnostic, which is not my experience to be honest..... I plan to maybe revisit that one at a Devialet event planned at OAC later in the year, when Mathieu Pernot should be in attendance.

The other thing I gleaned is that it appears that 'October 17' is indeed a specific date, that is Tuesday 17th of October 2017. Believe it or not folks....
