Core Infinity board

[baconbrain]

They’ve first shown the ‘OS card’ which is now renamed to ‘Core Infinity’. We can actually see both versions in Vivids pictures above (thanks for sharing Vivid!) which both share the same version numer 1.01 and we can see they removed the internal WiFi/BT PCB antenna and the most interesting Audinate (Dante for AoIP?) IC and supporting circuitry in the lower right corner of the PCB. I’m afraid we’ll never know for sure why.

The IC is only missing on the display board though. The official photos on the Devialet site still show it installed.

Do you mean the photo’s in the ‘Core Infinity Log’ (https://help.devialet.com/hc/en-us/secti...finity-Log)? These photo’s made me notice the first time the IC is gone. If you look closely you can see the PCB traces and solder pads are still there but there’s nothing soldered on to them.

Maybe the 'complete' board goes in the Master while the other one is meant for Companion?

That could be possible but I have this feeling they’ve dropped the functionality completely. I believe they’ve just shown both an earlier revision/pre-production board carrying the old name “OS board” and the latest production version with the new name.

Would be disappointing given that for me the Audinate functionality was one of the more interesting features.
