Since I have a PC near my N1X, I can use it as an expander with fine virtual pianos… With virtual pianos, I won’t take advantage of the multichannel amplifier (spatial sampling), but since I use mostly headphones, that doesn’t matter.
I guess the N1X successor will measure velocity and acceleration, something which is impossible with the design of the N1X. I don’t know how efficient it is on the CLP7xx.
I guess it is a pity that Vixano and Synthogy haven’t produced their Ivory expander as planned. I guess there could be a market for such a product. It was planned to be priced below $1500… quite expensive, but if it gives a second life to an expensive DP…
