Due to supply and schedule issues exacerbated by COVID, I unfortunately will need to delay the release of this product. Quality and customer satisfaction are my primary concerns, and I refuse to release a product that does not meet the highest quality standards. I am actively updating the existing design and - as always - will fully test and verify that everything not only meets but exceeds industry standards. I anticipate at this time a June/July delivery and will try my best to get it done earlier.

Those who have already placed a preorder received an email.

For this reason, I have also extended discounted preorder pricing until further notice.

Finding adequate second source parts can often be difficult, when the performance requirements are tight. There has been a worldwide shortage of various semiconductor supplies and shipping has also been an issue.

Well that’s a bummer. But I understand.
I like the look of the case but seems a bit too large.
Keep up the great work.

The case is oversized on purpose because in the future there will be other things in there...hint hint

Yep many component sourcing issues in the industry overall right now. The bad weather in the US recently has not helped. I have many overnight packages that took almost 2 weeks to get delivered.

Should have an update within the next two weeks. My manufacturer is finishing up the latest revision board assembly.

Where is the list for connectors needed for enclosure?
I cannot seem to find it again.

I really hope it is NOT a streamer or something digital.
If the enclosure is oversized for future digital stuff I will be bummed.
This enclosure has has the same footprint as an Arcam avr390
