Core Infinity upgrade progress

[Rocketmannequin]

Got my 220 Pro back today, with a total turnaround time of less than two weeks.  Sent it out of New York.  The service and the comms with Devialet on this for the logistics were very good and clear.  Have it all plugged back in now, with the new extruding antenna.  All the original settings on the SD card remain as before, and it worked out of the box as per the previous configuration.  The remote seems completely new, as it has a different feel to the dial than before, with the need to break it in as before as it requires some turns to become smooth again.  My former gripe was that the remote became less responsive during the 130 to 220 Pro upgrade, which seems now to have been rectified.  I tried it in different positions from 30 feet away and behind a concrete wall, and it now works omnidirectionally and perfectly.  Am now testing out the sound; so far it sounds excellent as always, and am inclined to think that the soundstage is wider and brighter. I had the Dev on +2 Treble, which I don't feel is necessary anymore. The iOS Devialet app to control the volume now works again.

Life would arguably be easier and cheaper if I had just stuck to my old Sony 5.1 surround amp, but this project passion with a boutique outfit is about the journey of sound, warts and all.
