Buckeye Amps 2ch Integrated Amplifier

[DesertHawk]

We will be having an official announcement on Youthman's YouTube channel sometime in August (will provide official date and link once known). Most know what it is by now, but full details will be revealed and other specs, etc.

Hmm...

The home page of our website gives it away, tho not the complete details and specs

Then I hope it comes with SpeakOn connectors.

You can pay $50 more for same if you wish, under customisation options.

So far I have bought two amps from Buyckeye and on both I opted for SpeakOn output connectors. IMHO they are so much easier to use and more safe and reliable than binding posts.

....is this the miniDSP SHD alternative I have been waiting for ???

Beautiful!

Only 11 days left in the month. Any news on when it will be unveiled?

 

[Buckeye Amps]

It will probably (well, definitely) be pushed back into September. We want to make sure it is polished and ready on all fronts before official announcement and opening of pre-orders.

Well. If a 2ch stand alone version already exists in our lineup for a module (NCxxxMP, NCx, etc) it will also be available as an integrated…..

I am sure the actual financial details are confidential, but as small company, if you wanted eARC PCM support with HDMI-CEC or 2 channel Dirac or even PEQ, how much of a barrier to entry is it if you were partnering with a company like MDS? Could you kickstarter it where you made sure you hit a certain number of prepaid preorders so that you didn’t take the economic risk?

It seems like the Monoprice at 4k for 16 channels it would be viable since you would need Dirac licenses but none of the Dolby or DTS stuff and would cut out one middleman. Or maybe plain PEQ instead of Dirac is even cheaper.

Dirac would be much preferred and inclusion of dolby decoding with down sampling to 2.1 would be a real differentiator compared to what is available.

+1. I just don't know if low volume = very high Dolby licensing fees, or if there is some super high licensing fee for the first 100,000 units which also becomes cost prohibitive.

Good on you Dylan - always better delay than to push something in to the market that isn't ready for prime time. I've worked in massive tech companies as a product manager for 17 years and it's always better to delay than push out something unfinished. Customers will understand and they will wait and then they'll appreciate the extra work put in tot get it right.

Hi Dylan, any news on the 2ch Int. Amp?
Could you gently give us the overall dimensions?
Many thanks

Jeez, be realistic, Dirac isn’t happening for a one man shop like Buckeye. Not enough customer support in place to troubleshoot, etc. The fact that an integrated amp with display is coming is enough of a big deal. Don’t kick a gift horse in the mouth!

The official reveal with pictures and specs, etc will be happening this month. I am lining up a time soon for the YouTube channel I will be on.
