The main problem is the detailed tech data that I have shared in the first post way publicly available on the link I shared in the first post. They removed it just yesterday probably after all of out complians about the sound quality degradation. I have no doubt anymore about Astra is not an upgrade but my concern is how can we get this damn company back to support Expert line even if it comes with a payment.
Why they don’t come with these things:
1) Better upgrade strategies for non-Pros
2) Provide warranty extension for reasonable price similar to Apple Care as we almos all went out of warraty
3) Provide a new Core Infinity board with DOS3 for a reasonable price.
4) Bring up ADH NextGen to Expert if that’s really a sound upgrade (I am sure it is not) for a reasonable price.
5) Kill the lower end models and just leave 220 and 250 models there and if needed increase the price of them (All HiFi compaines increased their price based on inflation)
6) Keep shipping sample units to well trusted review companies to referesh their image, these amps are damn better than any other thing available, if they start focusing on Expert they would make more money than random product releases
7) Deploy the damn software to github and start accepting change requests and bug filing from community developers
If they were getting all the DOS updates to Expert they were already going to sell a lot more Experts this year, I have just purchased my second 220 14 days ago while I know that the support was dead.
