Munich 2018

I’ve been thinking about these slides some more over the weekend. All in all I came away feeling pretty negative, despite genuinely trying to be otherwise....

Despite covering some of the current issues they’re aware of, and a commitment to Roon, there doesn’t appear to be much of a plan:
-How will the Experts ultimately be controlled? Is it Spark? Is it the same ver the Phantoms use? When? They say they’re not bug fixing the ‘legacy’ iOS remote, but does this mean no remote, they’re building a new one, or its Spark?
-Configurator. Is it being replaced with a direct web control interface? Updates without SD cards? Timelines? What features will it have? PEQ for example?
-Any integration with Phantoms planned? Subwoofers or whatever. What’s the reason for putting them all on th same codebase and adding PLC, just ease of development?
-Any future plans for evolving the system beyond 192 dsd64

The above are details, but nowhere in the slides did I get a sense of a concrete plan going forward beyond just getting through the current CI issues.

But maybe those that were there got a sense of some of the above.....

I guess a ‘these are our medium and long term plans for your expert’ cards would have been reassuring.
