Just to calm others, by "active" @ppataki means the link is showing prices & details . . . but still not (yet) able to put in cart or purchase.@3eaudio I can see the purchase link is already active but there is no option for the 52V/9A power supply....
A7 price is 332$Just to calm others, by "active" @ppataki means the link is showing prices & details . . . but still not (yet) able to put in cart or purchase.
I also noticed the 48V/5A spec on the power supplies. Definitely a disappointment for anyone eyeing the A7 variants. I don't see how one can get 230-250W*2 from a 240W power supply at ~80%(?) efficiency.
FWIW, prices are: $199/$239/$229/$269/$179 for the A5se/A5/A7se/A7/A7mono, respectively.
Not on my screen. Are you shopping from Europe? Is $332 PRE-vat?A7 price is 332$
Shopping from US for US destined shipping, I'm seeing the prices match up with @3e's earlier comments. They said sub-$200/250/300 for the A5se/A7se/A7 in various posts here, and the current Ali pricing is $199/229/269.Aliexpress already has prices for individual models. Unfortunately, they are higher than they were in unofficial announcements.
Yes, from EU. Prices are 245/295/282/332/221/ I think it is with VATNot on my screen. Are you shopping from Europe? Is $332 PRE-vat?
(the EU version was selected in my browser but US plug version is same price)

YesVAT included?
You can see the certification markings on the PSU here:If these amps ship to North America, will they come with a power supply with ULC/cULus certification?
Well there you go. That explains any perceived price discrepancy.
Please design and good/easy/simple way to update your device's firmware, as its very likely it will have some issues that you did not foresee or correct (talking about experience with Fosi). This way, a customer in any corner of the world could fix their device to a certain degree and the whole purchase and experience isn't a write-off..still a little bit delay than expected,too many procedure in factory,today just finished first sample assembly,it just look awesome
should be ready to order 12.12 (double discount? LOL)
I agree, the same applies to shipment. But somehow I expected that a finished amp in a small case with a PSU brick would be cheaper than putting modules with a decent PSU in a case, but it isn't.I don't think 3e ever suggested their early/informal price comments were tax-included. One would reasonably assume they were tax-excluded.

(keep MacOS users in mind)
Yeah, I'm a little disappointed in the pricing, especially if the A7 variants include "only" the 48V/5A supply.Prices to Germany with tax but without (double) discount ;-)

Not really. At current exchange rates, prices are virtually identical if you compare ex-VAT EU price to pre-tax US amount.Seems like it's much cheaper in US than in EU.
Have you received any discount, early birds promotion?
Well, I'd like to hear the "no" from the OEMYou can see the certification markings on the PSU here:
