Smyth Research Realiser A16

Those on a waiting list may well be fully informed and are agreeing to further.

You'd have to find out the specific details from someone still waiting before making any assumptions.

As someone who pre-ordered (not Kickstarter contributed) and hasn't heard anything at all from the company in many years, I can assure you that those waiting are not at all informed. There has never been any information about how one can actually receive product - while I understand some people have been able to pay some delta between current full retail and what they paid for pre-order, this process has never been communicated to the preorder population as a whole. The last email received from Smyth that wasn't the result of my contacting them directly was sent out in August of 2019. It provided some hardware specifications and indicated that they would begin shipping that week. It's been radio silence since then. I've written the funds off as essentially stolen but unrecoverable.

(Pre-order #29, no expectation of ever receiving hardware or refund.)

Yeah I am a pre-order and have not heard anything from them. E-mails go unanswered. Pretty lame.

Oh!

That's all I can say. I'm sorry to hear that ! Pretty lame indeed ..

I’ve received an email message from AIX Records (Dr AIX aka Mark Waldrep) writing about the Pure Audio Streaming Service to be announced for the 2025 (15-18 of May) High-End Munich.

“Our goal is to provide an unmatched audio experience that brings music to life in a way that has never been possible before.” - Stefan Bock, Founder of Pure Audio Blu-ray disc format

More information at the following link:

As part of FAQ, there’re “What immersive audio formats are supported and Does my device support AURO-3D?” questions. For the second question, the answer provides a link to auro-3d.com site that include the Smyth Research Realiser A16 among many other brands/models.

I’ll be a visitor at the 2025 High-End Munich and if I get additional information, I’ll report here.
