Problems with Core Infinity

[Inox]

Hello Ian - yes, your position makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, we Od’A owners do not yet have the clear benefits of the Pro upgrade, and clearly we are missing a little SQ there. Personally, I can live without UPNP and all the other stuff, but AIR is an absolute must, and I find it inconceivable how Devialet can finalise the CI hardware without bothering to check that their 18-month-old streaming protocol actually works properly. I say 18 months, but of course, that does not include the 2+ years it took them to fix it the first time around 

Hello,

I can't agree more. I also find Air (Wifi) is still the best way to get the highest SQ on a Devialet. I'm working with some friends to test Roon vs Audirvana (AIR/Wifi) and also Air vs UPNP.
But it's absolutely a pity that Devialet did not succeed to give us a stable version after more than a year and a half. Actually I really wonder if they'll be able to make it... That's the point and it is definitely not acceptable.
As one of my friend was telling me, they are, in another way, really good at disappointing the most valiant and benevolent of us...

So I won't give up yet. Not in testing all functionalities nor asking Devialet staff some involvement and results. But at a moment, I'll be obliged to make a choice : going on with Devialet (what I would like to do) or sell it and buy something else, that simply works...

Regards,
I.
