Once I get it, any special recommendations as to setup ?
On the time it takes to actually perform an upgrade: Devialet sent an engineer from their Hong Kong office to Australia to do the CI board upgrades for Australia. He travelled around the country doing the upgrades in various dealer premises. It took around half an hour to do a CI board upgrade. People were taking their amps in, waiting for the upgrade to be done, then taking their amps home in Brisbane. An upgrade from a 400 to a 440 Pro CI is a bit more complex than a CI board upgrade to a Pro amp but I wouldn't expect the actual upgrade to take all that long since they're set up to do them and they're doing them regularly. A large part of your 48 hour turnaround time was probably your amp sitting around while the person who did the upgrade was dealing with amps that arrived before yours.

1. With the 440-Pro CI, does Roon Air still work ?
2. If not, then we'll have to revert to Devialet AIR v3.0.4 ?
Roon AIR works at least as well with the CI board as it did before, and maybe better,
