I have done the upgrade from D800 to D1000 Pro Core Infinity. I am happy with this upgrade and I would definitely do it again. I haven’t done any blind testing between D800 vs D1000 Pro but I have a strong feeling that D1000 Pro sounds slighly better and it has & will have the features that I need (for example perfectly well working WiFi, AirPlay, Roon RAAT) without buying any extra boxes. The Roon RAAT is the most important upcoming new feature for me. The upcoming integrations with Qobuz, Tidal etc will be also nice although I wouldn’t use them on daily basis.
Streaming with D800 was pretty much limited to AIR that never worked for me so that’s why I really wanted to get rid of using AIR. Also WiFi never worked well on D800.
