Hi Mohmm,
I confess I didn't look too closely at it, but I don't think there are any differences other than the short horizontal aerial btw. the Digital 1 and Digital 2 inputs. I actually hardly ever touch the amp, and I can't really see it
The unit arrived repacked with protective plastic on the amp and remote and a small sticker on the card, which is on top of the foam that covers the top of the amp in the case, which I think is to be affixed to the previous Pro manual.
I hooked it up and turned it on, but haven't had a chance to listen to any music. This weekend is also full of other obligations. I don't think I'd updated the firmware since the Pro upgrade last fall anyway, so if that affected the sound I would not be able to distinguish that from any change the CI board makes... which I don't expect anyway.
I know that the software is still being refined; that is fine as I don't know what to do with it anyway, but I'm going to try ROON or something similar if my schedule ever allows for reasonable free time.
But I know you're all wondering about the really important issue: and the answer is 'no'... the power button is unchanged.
That's good news because I still prefer the AES/EBU input best (on my 1000 pro) and I particularly rate it much higher than any USB implementation that others seem to use.
Thanks.
