yeah, that wasn't the brand's proudest chapter either, but long before we took over the brand.

We're certainly listing and many of features you all have requested will start being implemented in software on the 442 even before we release the N3, so you'll start to see some progress in Q1 towards your requests. Joe

A number of folks have been asking in PM, etc about timing for the N3. Realistically, it's a good 8 months away. However, we will be incorporating a lot of the feedback from this forum on the next generation 442 which will be going to Gamma about the first of the year. Although it's a bigger...

Sorry for the formating here, this is from our internal mail list where I cut and pasted responses "Power is a concern. Power is a huge concern for a portable device, a measly 35mA consumption will kill a 350mA battery in 10 hours. If you're planning a hard drive (with at least 100mA...

Quote: Originally Posted by gerG Hmmm, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a high end amp module that could be swapped out/upgraded. It would require an internal docking bay and standardized connector, but it would eliminate a housing, battery pack, a cable, and some...

Quote: Originally Posted by Jazper ok I'm going to be frank here: I think you're barking up the wrong tree. First a high end portable needs to at least have some sort of analog output, not everyone carries around a portable dac to interface with toslink or SP/DIF. You don't need a dac...

Quote: Originally Posted by gerG Digital out via toslink. I saw that you listed s/pdif, but not which format. A high grade internal dac sounds tempting, but what sort of output connectors are you considering? If it is the ubiquitous 1/8" mini plug I don't think that it is even worth...

The 442-320 will use a 2.5" Hard Drive and will currently support up to 100GB and the Neuros 3 will use a 1.8" Hard Drive supporting up to 60GB

You have previously discussed the Neuros devices here, I hope you won't view this as spamming your forums. I'm posting on behalf of Neuros because we wanted to invite your input into our development process. We are currently in the process of developing two new products that may be of...
