I heard it’s just a basic sr20det, I would have been more impressed to see an RB or an LS under the hood.

If someone goes ahead (before I gain the courage… probably after warranty period), I would like to know very much if the screen from DT1 would be compatible, thanks a lot!

I was expecting this thing to be filled up, but there is still a bunch of space in there.
hmm. photo reveals a 2023 mainboard, so I doubt this is from a DTII. Also Coldfire/Shark is an ancient outdated legacy platform these days. This evidence doesn’t figure with Cuckoo’s suggestion that they’ve finally moved to a more contemporary platform.
I pulled it from Discord, hence why I say “supposedly”. Dunno what AH+FX looks like for comparison as I haven’t seen the teardown there.
As far as Cuckoo and statements go, see: Introducing Digitakt II - #932 by LyingDalai

I’d say 2023 sounds quite right for DTII.

no doubt the underlying hardware platform will be confirmed in the next few days. I really hope they’ve managed to step away from these old cpus.
Cuckoo is talking about what’s inside :

Isn’t that Coldfire the same CPU present in DT1, DN, and ST?
Is there another CPU chip in there? Because if there’s nothing else, is there anything on the way of a 2.0 update that upgrades DN and ST to run on the new software platform?
EDIT: Additional SHARC CPU on the left side, that makes way more sense.

Looks to be same model # yes

The Coldfire CPU is 200MHz and probably just run the UI : Screen, buttons, encoders, LEDs. Would make sense that they reuse everything they have from the former model with just a few added buttons/LEDs. UI wise DT(II), DN and ST is a hardware platform with slight changes.
SHARC DSP is 800-1000MHz, and probably does all the heavy lifting concerning Audio DSP, interfacing the AD/DA converters, RAM.
I don’t see any mention of USB interface on the SHARC, so I expect the that’s handled by the Coldfire as well, and would expect MIDI to be handled similarly.
This would require a pretty solid bus for exchanging real-time audio data (18+ channels?) from DSP chip to UI chip (for Overbridge to work), unless the two chips can share access to the RAM chips…
This is all speculation of course
