Is the Apple TV 4k silver remote better at learning IR codes than the black one?

My black remote will not learn the IR codes for the volume of my Cairn amplifier. Is the silver one any better at this task. I don’t want to waste money buying one only to find there is no improvement.

It can be, but there is also the option to learn IR commands to control the volume of analogue amplifiers. It’s the IR learning feature I’m interesting.
