I am thinking about the HD820 but i would like to hear them before. So at CanJam London i will try them. Being a closed headphone with wide soundstage and deep bass may work for I hope we will all get it by then

That information has to be incorrect; I got measured at AIX in fall 2016 specifically for the A16. We had to use an A8 since no A16s were stateside at that time, but I was told that the measurement would be usable on the A16, with the only compromise being confined to the more limited head-tracking of the A8. Given that the session cost a decent chunk of change, I'll be enraged if the this is now true.
Here is an excerpt from my conversation with Mr Kramer at the time:
And from Smyth's QA portion of their website:
"Q3: Are A8 PRIR files compatible with the A16?
A3: Yes."
I got in touch with Mr Kramer yesterday. I mentioned the comments from James, to which he responded with:
"A8 measurements can be used on the A16. Technically they are converted to A16 format upon loading and can be re-saved in A16 format if desired."
Seems to be settled then. Must have been some miscommunication on James' part.
We should get an update!
I agree. I had assumed that they missed the end of April update because they were planning on announcing a ship date not long after (since they mentioned they planned to launch 4-6 weeks after CanJam). Now I’m not really sure what to think as tomorrow we’re already 10 days into the month.
But they can not write an email with an update?
My name is Levi and your apologies are accepted.I was and still am trying to stay positive about a near possible shipping date for the Realiser A16.It did sound very good at CanJam London 2017 , never experienced such a remarkable surround sound, even at cinema.If "No news is good news" was true - then we'd all be on cloud nine
Was being sarcastic when I put the cash down for the Audeze Mobius and "wondered" which one I'd get 1st - the Smyth unit was sure to be sent by then
I had a go at Musicday (members name??) 6 months (or so) ago when he was spruiking his enthusiasm at the "imminent" release/delivery of the A16 (I do apologise for that) but yeah, am passed the expectation stage.
I love reading the experiences from CanJam??? Think we only had a couple back on the forum this year?
The money I spent was a long time ago, so isn't bugging me.
I'm not negative on the waiting time anymore, not positive on the experience.
When I get the unit - I'm tipping it'll be absolutely everything I expect it to be.
Till then, I'll just twiddle my thumbs and listen to my headphones as I always have.

I dream of a Monday morning update with some good news.
Not sure if Smyth Research is reading this thread,but if there will be an update will be on their website, or Kickstarter.It sure would be about time - no matter if good or bad news!
I understand delays, but I don’t understand lack of communication ...
And from my understanding they will not be present in July at CanJam London as they are focusing on finishing the final details before the shipping process.Not sure if Smyth Research is reading this thread,but if there will be an update will be on their website, or Kickstarter.
Hopefully the next update tells us about the real shipping date.
