I have spent enough time here. I concede that the Smyth's have succsessfully stolen my money and will never deliver what they promised. I am not spending another minute on this. What a dispicable group of A-holes.

Just a note. When you login you use your email address not your user name.

BS! If they have units to sell they have units to ship. How much time money and effort did they piss away to develop these new models? Not once has Smyth made an announcement that they are broke and need to sell unit's in order to ship units. That is just crud made up by people on this thread...

If they do open the Realizer site it will be interesting to see if this thread dies as those that are connected and privledged but have access to information move there and the people that don't have their units are left here.

They also said some time ago that they would use the Exchange site to make announcements and comunicate with the community. I guess if they haven't shipped you an A-16 they don't want you to know what is going on. At least they are consistent.

So they are taking about a month for each unit they are upgrading? I hope they begin shipping new build units in the new year. But since the "professionals" are more important than the kickstart and preorder people we can be sure that the "pros" will get theirs before the people that have been...

I'm in the industry and for the life of me I can't think of a single device that takes a DB25. The most likely use would be to go to a patch bay but those don't use DB25s. And yup I am pissed that they have every thing else in the world to work on other that sending units to the people whos...

I can't believe that every thing gets stopped for this. What BS.

Any chance they are still sending out units or are they taking a year off for this?

I would be more inclined to agree if they didn't tell us years ago that we had to pay up in advance because they were ordering all of the needed hardware at that time and then doubled down on the lie by telling us ALL of the needed parts had arrived and were already assembled and ready to ship...

I tried the same thing a few months ago and got no response.

I hope they don't have to re certify any thing because of this. I have to wonder how much time they spent changing the software to accommodate the extra channels?

What a self important jerk. Why is your money supposedly keeping the lights on and mine isn't? If they truly are short of money then my money has already been spent. If you jumped the queue by paying the higher price then I have absolutly no sympathy for you as there are people here that have...

If you have a working A-16 you should not be ahead of people that have nothing. Upgrades can wait until all the orders have shiped. It isn't like all existing A-16s just suddenly stopped working.

The cost of the A-16 is in the R&D for the software not the actual hardware.

They have had all the parts for close to two years. All the boards, chassis etc were done in one run.

Is that actually a personal PRIR or is that a BRIR? Because the page says it's the Smyth version.

If they didn't show a positive cash flow when they had received all the KS and pre order money but still hadn't paid for any hardware then they they are just playing an accounting game.

There is no eARC in the A-16? Didn't we lose a whole year on the repeater board replacement and lose a bunch of functionality to get eARC? I had been hoping to get rid of my reciever if the A-16 ever shipped but now it look like I will have to buy a new receiver as well in order to be able to...

One thing to keep in mind is we have a FTA with the EU and the US doesn't.

I had 2 pair of LCD2s fail. I am a fan of the Mr Speakers Either. At least on my ears they are deeper and with out the imaginary Smyth box naturally have a larger sound field.

The only thing that is going to do me any benefit is if they ship my damn unit. They keep getting side tracked on these stupid look projects like the old wood side panel plan rather than doing what people have already paid them to do. It wasn't just the time to stick these in a box and...

B*ll crap. They have had the parts sitting in their storage for well over 2 years. Remember this was an update from March 31, 2018. Nearly 2 years ago. "1. All the PCBs have now been programmed and tested with the exception of the head-tracker. There have not been any significant problems so...

Same here. I emailed him asking for a guesstimate of when mine would ship because if it was to far out I wanted to cancel my order. No answer.
