Phantom Premier vs Phantom I

[djredeye]

Hello folks. Bumping up the question asked earlier .... on hardware/sound quality comparisons between the "old" Phantom Gold (4500 watts) and the current Phantom 1's. Anyone who has had the chance to listen or own both, thoughts and listening notes please?

I have a Phantom Gold Opera de Paris (glossy version) and am looking at whether its worth the $$$$ to replace with the newer version. Other than the glossy vs matte finish, I understand there are chip and software upgrades.

My model/SN is MX207 N26N*** .. anyone know which year this was manufactured? Because it is glossy, I am assuming that it has the older chipset. Not sure if there are differences in the drivers - my understanding is both the Gold and the Phantom 1 have the same titanium tweeter and aluminum mid/low range drivers.

Here is what I got from Devialet:
"New Version Phantoms are now equipped with a state of the art audio microprocessor that helps Improve Sound Quality. Phantom’s signal processing and amplification performance (ADH, SAM, Magic Wire, Class A, DAC) are integrated into a single 1 cm 2 SoC (System on a Chip), custom designed for Optimal Integration.
New Processor = Perform Faster + Less Battery Consuming + Better Temperature Management"
