Yes, that's pretty much it. Gen 0.5 is John producing a couple of hand-built boards for development. Gen 1 with be a fabrication run of a small number of boards, (perhaps 25), to get wider testing. (But still not a public, everyone who wants one can have one, release. It is the pre-cursor to a much larger Gen 2 production run and will allow the design to be finalised and any bugs worked out.) Gen 2 will be the first public production run, where we aim to make available for purchase, via at least 2 distributors... 1) The DAC carrier board 2) A ready to go, pre-built player, assembled and comprising, JS DAC carrier board, Wandboard CPU card, Hammond extruded ali chassis, front/rear panels, (glass fibre PCB material), a power supply, and a pre-imaged SDCARD. More info will follow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
