Production Update
We have received our first orders and are very excited for the early birds (you know who you are). You will get the best USB DAC + headphone amp money can buy AND you will save 10% off the regular price AND you will get free shipping! This unique offer is only good through the end of the month, so hurry and place your order here:
Here is a quick production update: We have shipped all the parts off to our factory in Wisconsin, which is building the PCBs. Tomorrow we were going to visit them to observe production, but decided to postpone the trip — they predict 10-13 inches of snow and 30-40 MPH winds, so driving 1.5 Hours from Chicago will be unsafe. Production goes on, however, despite the snow — raw PCBs are coming in tomorrow and assembly will start later this week. We are planning to have stuffed PCBs around the 20th.
Meantime your humble servant will sneak out to China for a week this Friday. I will bring back the remaining parts from our suppliers there and we will finish assembly right after my return, around the 22th. Then, a busy shipping time. Let’s see how closely we hold to this schedule. A lot of ducks have to be in a row, but so far we’ve managed to avoid (or reroute against) any major obstacles. I will give you another update towards the end of the week, this time from China. Look for interesting pictures from Hong Kong and China next week!
