Maybe this is where we disagree though, I don't see the position they're in that way.I think you are mischaracterizing my comments. I am not saying people’s criticism is irrational, rather highlighting the impossibility of the position Khadas are in due to their own excellent execution.
Arguing that a company is in an "impossible" situation (caught between a rock and hard place), sounds to me like arguing that all the criticism is equal in the sense that it's all a net loss because no matter who you listen to, you'll piss someone off. But the reality is some of the people complaining are literally just selfish and want something that isn't practical for the product in question, whereas others actually understand the scope of the product, as well as the tradeoffs, and are making sound recommendations. Listening to the latter I would say is all you have to do in order to escape the "paradox" of being in the "impossible situation".
Of course, this does require a skill in being able to tell the difference between good critique and bad, and unfortunately it is a difficult thing for some people.
Or maybe they'll just change the chassis before release or offer different options? I don't see why this needs to be such a binary situation. Also, I don't think constructive criticism is "throwing shade".I appreciate where you are coming from, and hopefully they will continue to offer a bare board solution, but I don’t share your position. I don’t particularly want to spend the time or energy mucking with third party cases. There are a glut of options for high performance, low cost audio gear right now. We are truly in a unique and exceptional time for this, and throwing shade at the companies disrupting established, lower performance offerings will eventually discourage new entries into this space. I appreciate the option to choose the solutions that most appeal to me personally.
I could also look at it another way, that it might encourage more new entries into this space, because if another company realizes that they can compete with a known product just by having their own product in a better case or something, then you'll have more players joining the market. =p
