Core Infinity board

[Chris Marshall]

Time will tell, but I am not sure how much I will actually use the OS board one I finally get one.  The answer to that one depends almost entirely on both stability and sound quality, which remain as unknowns currently.

That's right. It also depends on what features it will support.

I am quite disappointed that it supports only Airplay, Bluetooth, Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, and UPnP. I don't really need any of these but perhaps my wife will be happy about the Airplay (if it works...). I am still wondering what's the benefit for me if I decide to send my Pro for the upgrade? I have to be couple of weeks without the Pro and I will get features that I don't need? That doesn't sound like a good deal.

I am also concerned about the upgrade process itself. Will I get my Expert Pro back in a perfect shape? Last time they had added so many scratches to the remote control and Expert Pro itself, that I had to send them back. Will this happen again?

I'm pretty sure they will make it Roon Ready at some point, plus they now have plenty of processing power available with the new board so some other things like DSP may be possible, MQA if you're interested.

The new network connectivity may also make current things like AIR more stable for more people with a bit of luck.
