Hifi+ 140 Pro review

[Sailor4W]

Hmm, just started reading the review and I see that the reviewer sums up the changes made by the ‘Pro’ upgrade and ‘Core Infinity’ board upgrade all under the same moniker of ‘Core Infinity’ while for me this is just the ‘streamer board (which also holds other things like ASRC’s and DSP logic). Just making this distinction because in my previous post I really meant the fitting of the CI board. The Pro upgrade was done one or two years earlier. I did not notice the brightness issue back then, rather the opposite if I remember well.

Good point, that struck me too! I also thought the CI board would be for streaming. But the reviewer makes the point that the CI board digitizes the amp’s voltage with 10 bits, rather than 8 bits in previous versions, that translates to less distortion. That made me think if there‘s more to the CI board than just the streaming issue?

Maybe someone is savvier than me?
