Thanks, corrected above, re: brain fart...
Sadly, that's a moving target, and Smyth seems too small to always catch up. I still have a 1080p TV, and will at least wait for HDMI 2.1 support before upgrading (I look forward to not needing a display refresh rate that is a clean multiple of the material's frame rate just to get smooth playback).

No idea why you'd ever need 32bpc video.For me the problem is 4:4:4 32 bit HDR. That won’t come until hdmi 2.1. I think all this new tech needs about 3 years to settle down.
I think it’s interesting how many people bought the Smyth A16 also bought a Mobius. Are you guys (and gals?) all surround addicts like me? Or is the A16 one of your first surround DSP products?
Fantastic news, gracias. I also sent him a friendly email and he never replied. Looking forward to this update.I wrote a friendly email to James, who replied that "I must reiterate that the lack of updates is solely down to the hard work of the team getting the A16 ready" and that there will be an update this week.

Don't get me wrong ; I like this idea of an upcoming update, and the fact that they are working hard to get the A16 ready. if that is true, then more power to them.I wrote a friendly email to James, who replied that "I must reiterate that the lack of updates is solely down to the hard work of the team getting the A16 ready" and that there will be an update this week.

I agree 100%! It was particularly galling when one poster said that those who complained were acting “self-entitled.” Smith Unrealized has been abdominal in its misrepresentations, lack of communications and missed deadlines. How can anyone defend this?Don't get me wrong ; I like this idea of an upcoming update, and the fact that they are working hard to get the A16 ready. if that is true, then more power to them.
I must call total BS, however, on the implication that when one is "working hard," it provides an excuse for ignoring to provide timely updates to clients. For other manufacturers who are more engaged with their customers, it seems the harder they work at a problem, the harder they work to keep their clientele informed. For me, that is called respect (CF. Audeze Mobius, Yarra 3dX, and countless others). "I am working very hard, too hard to have the time to provide updates" would seem to suggest that those who care about providing updates are not working hard enough, or something to that effect... Another name for total BS, whether one is actually aware of it or not.
I really do not enjoy being a fly in the ointment here... However, I am long past my threshold of BS tolerance in this game, and something has got to give.,. Hell, the politicians of our time alone provide enough doses of that BS everyday, more than enough to last me an entire lifetime... I thought one paid for expensive hobbies in order to escape that kind of swamp, hopefully, not to relive it all over again.
Okay, end of rant...
That is encouraging, of course. I'm excited to hear what news will be in the update. (Believe me, my wife is sick of hearing me tell her how amazing the A16 is going to be, and me having to explain that we can't get a refund as a kickstarter backer. I want something new to say).I wrote a friendly email to James, who replied that "I must reiterate that the lack of updates is solely down to the hard work of the team getting the A16 ready" and that there will be an update this week.
Please wait for the update this week and see what they have to say before any comments can be made.Don't get me wrong ; I like this idea of an upcoming update, and the fact that they are working hard to get the A16 ready. if that is true, then more power to them.
