@CEE_TEEWould it be possible to drop the LCX as one entity, and then allow options for users to choose the add-ons to the unit?
Example:
Option 1: LCX only
Option 2: LCX + SDAC (+$80 USD)
Option 3: LCX + Balanced DAC (+$999 USD)
I think I'm echoing many folks here that would just like it stand-alone as well, as they have better DACs already.
Just a thought, thanks!
nobi_oneHi nobi-one,
Thanks for the good/clear question and clean plan. :)
Option 1: We will definitely have the standalone LCX available again. Maybe a few units next month.
Separate drop page though:
-Keeps it cleaner and easier to understand, we have had some confusion on the Objective 2 amp page by having different versions available and surprising people when what was ordered arrives.
-Also, keeps discussion focused on each individual version as well as shipment and any order updates.
-There is no plan for a 3rd option with internal balanced DAC (see Option 3 below).
Option 2: LCX + SDAC has its own page and can be live with inventory even if Option 1 is not available.
Option 3: LCX probably won't see a balanced DAC inside. Due to lack of internal space, heat generated, lots of extra switches needed internally per channel even with SDAC, and real estate on the back panel for more 3-pin XLRs is tight (so you could use the balanced DAC output to another amp). So only two potential versions and less economy of space...
CEE_TEEThank you for the elaborate response!
I saw the standalone LCX and had already ordered it. (It appeared 1day after I posted =D)
Regarding the options, I can see where you're coming from and it makes sense to have these split up as different drops.
Thanks for considering the options though!
