The stocks of Creative Technology jumped very much in price after the presentation of the Super X-Fi at CES 2018 (by > 500% !!)

You can count yourself (very!) lucky in case you bought shares before the presentation at CES in 2018!
For my part, I've no shares from Creative so far. Maybe it's still not too late to jump in.... (as a rather small tech company they at least theoretically have great potential with a killer mass market product). With the lunch of the Super X-Fi Amp in the USA in December 2018 and Europe in January 2019 it's just the start. We will see in the next years how the masses react to it.
I'm aware that the comments above are off topic of this thread, but it shows that the sound virtualisation / holographic sound has great potential! I think you all agree.
Although the A16 is clearly the much more sophisticated product, it's definitely not a mass market product (and will never be, the A16 is obviously too expensive for mass market).
As well as the Smyths with the A16 Creative will face a (very?!) negative perception by companies who produce speakers because this kind of technology is at least in my oppinion a big threat for them.....
In my opinion this could also be a cause a for a delay in the certification process by Dolby (hopefully not...). What do you think about this aspect ?
I really hope that we will get our A16 devices really soon!
