Audio Aero Prestiges new transport?

It's great to see many Prestige users. To get best performance, I suggest you disable the Analogue input board:

1. Remove top (16 screws)
2. Input board connects to motherboard using a ribbon cable
3. At each end unclamp cable by gently pulling on side stubs

In my case improvement was clearly audible. It seems this Prestige feature adds to players noise floor. Please share your findings.

I received answer from AA to my questions today. They informed that I have to pay 450 euros + shipping charges for that upgrading process. I quess I will do it anyway.

Saxman2, please describe sound differences between old and new transport. I quess they changed the motherboard too.

1.Much quieter operation
2.more open
3.better bottom end
I have a Dartzeel pre and it gives a very different
presentation(a little leaner and more open). I like the sound
direct and through the pre amp.

I like to use my Prestige with ARC ref 3 with balanced cables. It gives me fuller sound and better soundstage.
