Jarek,

What % of Geek Waves has LH delivered?

IS LH planning to deliver at least 50% of all Geek Waves due before the end of 2019?

I have a substantive question:

The latest update shows various versions of the Wave. The perks I funded don't completely correspond to any of them. What is the appropriate venue to discuss this?

I'm with Jud. The Wave64 that I funded has mysteriously disappeared from the specs sheet. Am I to expect a request from LHL for more $ to 'upgrade' to a Wave128 like you did to the Wave32 backers?
And you wonder why there is a bit of vitriol on here and other sites.

It seems things have gone a bit off-track well into personal territory again, so we've cleaned up the thread. Let's please avoid any personal comments, and please try to keep the thread from going away from the Posting Guidelines. Thanks everyone.

I'm pretty happy with my FiiO M11, so if this thing ever does materialize I think I will sell it as a curiosity.

0%

Jarek has said before that waves will only be delivered when funds allow. To date, there have not been enough funds allocated to even get a prototype. 2019?? Good luck with that!

The Wave has obviously been consolidated. They have been thinking of this for some time. There was no way the original specs could be produced....I don't think they can be produced as consolidated. They need 3 versions max...maybe even 2. LH/LHL has no production plan anyway, there is just no money.

The Wave has obviously been consolidated.

That's my guess but as of this second I have no confirmation. I didn't have a chance to chat over that with Larry before I posted it this morning. People have been asking LHL to consolidate the Waves forever though.

LH Labs does not intend to make money with a 6k IEM. They are doing in Asia exactly what they did in the USA. They are building something very expensive in order to market themselves (remember their 50K Dacs?). Their real intention is to sell something much cheaper than the Oscars to an Asian market who is totally unaware of what happened in the USA. Same guy, same strategy.

Actually, I think Light Harmonic wants to make sales of these and similarly overpriced items in markets that are not aware of the LHL gong show. This is another get rich quick scheme to raise money to help pay off IGG sales.

It's not a guess...the specs have changed, it has happened. What will be interesting is if LH screws up the now smaller group of Wave variants....what are the Vegas odds on that??

Yes, I think that has been the case for quite a long time. I believe consolidated versions were first shown in similar format in an earlier update, though I don't recall off the top of my head whether they were the same as these.

At that time, in response to questions, LHL said both that no one would miss out on any perks, they would be upgraded in order to consolidate; and also that no one would wind up paying any more for their version than another customer had. Obviously both of these could not be true (without partial refunds or some other compensation, which were not mentioned).

That's why I asked what LHL was planning to do in this (my) situation.

 

[Beefalo]

If consolidation and upgrades without additional $ are a thing, I’m excited about the prospect of getting an imaginary Wave128 instead of my imaginary Wave64.

 

[stuck limo]

@judmarc Wave 64 is still being produced. Also: Wifi will only exist with the Android OS that is coming later.

The Spec Sheet is wrong: the 128X on the spec sheet indicates NO Femto Clocks. This is INCORRECT. If you paid for the 128X + Femto Clocks, you get it. Thanks to @judmarc for pointing that out.
