I think the latest estimate is that they might ship in time for Christmas

Hmmm, an excellent time to enjoy a smoothie.

Yeah , Christmas would be a fine occasion for the 3A to launch,
BTW , are not they worried about reviews , i mean should not the reviewers receive it already.(as its under production now)

 

[singh]

BTW I was thinking, why is every one recommending digital input for the 3A, i mean sure digital input is better than giving line out from portable players. but what if i have a $2500 DAC thats surely better than the 3a's internal dac Right ...or am i missing some thing here?
 
also the lets consider the HM801, it has digital coax out put as well as a very good DAC( thats said to rival the lineouts of pritty good DACs.
So it might be the case that the HM801's DAC is better than 3A.,
 
NOTE: sorry if this has been discussed earlier

HM 801 doesnt have digital output.
 
If you are feeding Jh-3a with analog signal, it must go over A/D convertion to Jh-3a DAC, because signal must go over DSP. So everytime, jh-3a dac is used, digital input is simply the best solution.

SO thats the deal , thankyou for your quick, precise and complete response .
( and sorry for the assumption that HM that HM801 has a coax output)

 

[Anaxilus]

I think its not quite agreed that the 801 DAC is that special.  Some feel the 602 has a better DAC.

 

[singh]

Really, its said that HM801's DAC rivals some of the best stand alone DACs and povides wide and good soundstage.!

 

[Trogdor]

Does anyone have ANY update?  Is beginning of December an attainable target now?

Yes, I would love an updated estimated from JH. They should have a more accurate projection.

Called a week ago about possibly upgrading my JH13s instead of having both (well, JH13 and JH3A+JH16), and was told if I did they didn't need the JH13s until 'late this month' so as an early order I assume early December is still on.

I am guessing that the 3A uses a proprietary cable, meaning that I can't later upgrade (or am I wrong). And if so, is the cable supplied the same cable that comes with the standard JH 16s or something different/"better"?

 

[nc8000]

Yes the cable is special but Craig from Whiplash will offer a TWag cable also for JH-3A
