Buckeye Amps 2ch Integrated Amplifier

[MusicMan77]

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.

As we creep towards the end of the quarter, do you anticipate it'll be ready by then?

Well.....that is disappointing; but these things happen. Please do keep us informed.

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)

Definitely interested in reading about the AP headache. Hoping your integrated can still be released this year or 1st quarter next but understand that bringing new products to market must include plenty of hurdles.

 

[Syracuse27]

Can you share any more pictures of the integrated? Has it been fully assembled yet?

 

[DDRPDXCBUS]

Any updates on the upcoming integrated?

 

[Buckeye Amps]

I'm sorry guys. It's slow going. All hardware is on hand/ready for final production. We are still getting firmware polished up.

The incident with our AP gear along with the simultaneous rollout of the Purifi 9040 and the new 6525 modules....only have so much time and have to prioritize.

Where is that write-up, have I missed it?

Just waiting on the refund to actually credit back to our account and then plan on writing/posting.

So a Puriifi amplifier with subwoofer outputs? That would be nice.
Maybe add an SMSL or Topping DAC inside

DAC will be a future add-on card/slot

Dylan, clearly you've had delays and setbacks. These things happen.......and we all understand.....we do..... and to a degree your customers are willing to be patient and understanding given you are a startup company. However.......however.......patience is not unlimited. You told us the product would be ready in June. It's November. So, I humbly ask as to when we can expect a finished product that is ready for purchase.

I totally agree. They didn't have any business pushing this until they had the finished product in hand and ready to send to Amir for testing.

 

[Buckeye Amps]

I can confidently say that it will be ready when it is ready

 

[Mort]

I can't tell if those are facetious comments.

I hope so.

One person disintermediating an entrenched industry can take a little longer than planned.

 

[Buckeye Amps]

It was my mistake for way over-estimating how quickly the Integrated would be ready. I unfortunately have had a habit in the past of being very optimistic and liberal with my timeline estimates for new products.

Part of living and learning.

 

[JohnnyNG]

disintermediating

Nice.

Keep doing what you're doing the way you're doing it.
You conduct yourself very well on these forums- don't let impatient people give you curry over delays you can't estimate and/or control.

Agreed. Seriously.

It's not like @Buckeye Amps is a large, heavily commercial enterprise with a set release schedule, greedy distributors, deep channels, and a fat-cat marketing/sales group hungry for more cash to waste.

You be you, Dylan.

Nobody who hasn't already paid you for something has any business criticizing your product timeline. I'm glad you're committed to offering fully baked products that are ready, even if it takes a little longer than expected.
