Hello,

I have a question about the back of the Amp Pro.

The pictures on the internet show a continuous aluminum back in which the connections are embedded. Is this an original design that was then discarded?

My device has a back like the Amp with the recessed plastic plate.

I am also asking because of the input socket for the optical cable, which in my opinion does not inspire much confidence. The optical plug has a lot of play and the whole socket wobbles, which inevitably raises the question of whether and how the socket is connected to the housing at all (at the very least, I would avoid changing the optical cable as far as possible ...).
 
My amp and amp pro (both early units) have the black backplate you mention, so that image must have been an early mockup. If I deliberately try to wobble the optical cable, it does move a bit, but I don't recall many or any complaints about that port apart maybe from that on the Mini when it first came out
