Any idea how many have shipped I paid just after the kickstart had finished
That is very strange indeed. Maybe a bug in the A16 firmware?
But there is a workaround I think: With USB you are dealing with PCM signals only, so a PCM room is used. You can make a new preset and use a new PCM listening room with a custom listening mode (for example "cust#1"). In that room you are free to assign any speaker regardless of it's speaker label to any channel number. Just assign the rears to channels 5 and 6, and the side surrounds to channels 7 and 8.
I think that only Smyth Research might give you a relevant answer, but their update on shipping status at kickstarter site stopped after September 7, 2020. Write them and maybe you’ll get back a message.
i certainly would be willing to help out in some small way.I've been away for a time, now I have to read that.
This is very sad.
But no real surprise. We already guessed that.
Already starting with the low KS prices made me suspicious.
As one who paid the low price I would be willing to pay even a few hundred "credit units" (my term for punds/dollars/euros) extra, but I don't think every body else would do so also.
I'd even pay a monthly amount of 10-20 credit units for Realiser exchange/as a service fee to keep up at least the support.
It's so so sad that they're good technicians but not so good businessmen.
Stephen even wanted to give me the hardware upgrades for free because I contributed a little bit to the debugging process!
I declined that!
At least Imwould have said that he gives me a little discount, not totally free, but I didn't want to send the unit back and forth, it's too precious to me to get lost or damaged.
I can not really afford to buy a 2nd A16 at the moment. And this doesn't really help much In the long run they'll need a constant cash flow, at least for support.
How can we help them and who's willing to do so?
I m inI would also help out. What about we start a GoFundMe and raise some cash for the Smyth’s as a Holliday gift.
It’s in the Christmas spirit...
