A new unit is with me. Because new device is too cold to be powered, I can focus on external differences. Both units are almost undistinguishable.
One difference is reversed channels on RCA inputs. Second one is a class II power supply mark printed on the bottom.
I've seen units with reversed RCA plugs in some recent YouTube movies, so this change was probably applied in the meantime.
There are also subtle differences between outside boxes, like the mentioned class II mark. Another one are black and white icons of the music services vs colorful ones for the box of old unit.
First things first, as the full set of measurements and tests takes a lot of time, I will verify known issues at the very beginning.
PSU noise - absent, it's (almost) deadly silent. I can hear something only when my ear touches the chassis directly. Well, I know it could be pretty risky idea...
PCB_version - 5.
HF switching signal on sub out - absent.
Low frequencies / multitone bad performance - seems to be greatly improved in my quick and dirty measurements. I will provide more details tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
