Buckeye Amps 2ch Integrated Amplifier

[quattro98]

How about, "One Integrated." @Buckeye Amps @quattro98 @Reddoc?

I like the text for the product version. There will be at least 3 variables. Major version of the product, the power modules, and the accessory boards. They don't all have to be reflected in the name, but looking ahead a couple of product cycles, being able to clearly identify all 3 variables would be useful.

Looking at the proposed current line, maybe something like:

Buckeye Integrated One 700H/500H/250H/450P/950P. This would provide overall product and power module along with a clear plan for future models (overall version and other power levels or module manufacturers). The accessory board would be separate.

Not yet. Still waiting on the cases to arrive. They are coming via boat so it takes a while.

Is your new integrated going to have a headphone amp with dedicated amp for headphones?

No plans for that

OK. Is there a jack for headphones?

 

[Doodski]

OOOOps... was a bit too analytical and missed the fact that you have no headphone jack... sorrrrry!

Just tweaking the firmware at this point. Which is a tedious and non-sexy task but necessary.

Any potential ETA?

Still shooting for the end of this quarter.

The last big hurdle is the FW update interface/implementation. And then I plan on getting a few builds out to wanting buyers who also don't mind being a tester for normal usage.

Count me in as a tester.

Pls count me in as tester as well if there a place available.

 

[Buckeye Amps]

Will make an official update when we are ready to take testers, thanks for the interest!

Nice fan base. They want your product... bad. Must be a reason.

Did anyone test the sinad of the ncx500 using Buckeye's buffer/gain stage? I think the original review was for the OEM buffer, but buckeye replaced it with a different one (I believe).

Was that measured anywhere? I'm sure whatever the difference is will be inaudible.

Is the integrated going to feature the new second generation Purifi modules? Excited to see the final product and reviews.

Yes, at the least the 1ET6525SA modules (most likely not the 9040BA module though).

A little stalled on the Integrated. We have been dealing with an Audio Precision headache. Expect to see a write-up on that experience in the coming days (hint: not a positive review from us regarding AP)
