What information? The whole point of the last year is that no information is forthcoming from the Smyths. When Ted Timmis called him out, James Smyth didn't respond except to say " here's your refund". There's nothing in the way of new information on the website, and people are quoting some "french Dealer" as if he's an official source.
The real story here is the delay and the black hole of silence that is the Smyth Company. It's not bull**** to write about the only thing that's real here.
I, for one, would like to see this product come to light so I can make the determination on whether to buy it. But as of now no one has it, no one has reviewed it, and no reviewer has done objective measurements or tests exist to determine how well it fulfills it's claims. Moreover, no one has experience in the field with regard to how easy or hard it will be to obtain quality measurements of high end audio systems. And that means both securing the permission of owners to make those PRIRs and the degree of technical difficulty in making a high quality measurement. And no one has any experience with how well the Smyths will support the product in the field. (Although the way they communicate with their customers ought to give everyone a forewarning there).
I certainly don't believe this thread ought to turn into some "true believers circling the wagons" exercise where fanboys read every technical release with the intensity of Talmudic scholars to determine whether the unit can, say, deliver Atmos via Toslink to a Playstation 4.
And this thread is not a club. Just because some of you have already ponied up the $1500 or $2k or whatever it is, that in no way gives you the right to declare the rest of us can have no opinion on this project.
And of course the real reason some of you early adopters don't want to hear from people like me is crystal clear if you are honest with yourselves. You're experiencing cognitive dissonance with regard to this purchase, and you're experiencing it big time. And reading what people like me have to write in no way soothes your unease.
Sorry, but it's simply the truth, and it need to be part of the process.
