Core Infinity board

[Confused]

Thanks for all the debate guys.

I think we all agree that our Expert Pros sound pretty damn fine already. I'm not sure a streamer board can increase SQ, I tend to look at these things from the opposite direction, that is how much detrimental effect does the streamer board have on what is already a fine sounding unit.

So what is special about this board, as Devialet have now intimated in their mail shot ? As said above, an explanation of the motherboard mods would be welcomed. I am guessing that it must be significant for them to do another massive recall, all at no cost to us (well other than the initial upgrade costs). It would be a helluva lot cheaper for them to send out boards for a dealer / user fit. They mention 'numerous capabilities' will be added after the release? Will this make it a Sonos beater, with every streaming service one can shake a stick at?

Me, I am happy with Roon now integrated into Air, with Tidal & Internet Radio (although the latter could do with re-vamping in the front-end department). This was my No.1 wish and it's working well. There's always room for improvement, but I think I trust Roon a whole load more than Devialet for anything on the software side.

But as also mentioned, there is always a niggle when things are updated and one may not have that streamer board upgrade in place to take advantage. Like it or not, it kind of makes it obligatory.

Gents, I posted sometig on the Roon forum that is related to this, and got a reply from Roon shedding just a litthle bit of light on the streamer board in relation to Roon:

Looking at the link per rdok's post above, it pretty much looks like the OS Board being 'Roon Ready' in some way is now pretty much confirmed?  Does anyone read this any differently?

Our very own Hifi_swlon even gets a wink from Devialet!  So even if Devialet don't love him now, it at least looks like they are making a move.
