If my understanding of japanese is correct, the first product should be out this year, with the next 3 following shortly after in 2015.

Any news who is behind AA now ?

Son of a ......

I just sold my DDE 1.1 a month ago because the PS died and was pretty much un-replaceable unless custom built.

They were a great value back in the day.

Very first piece of "high end" audio gear I ever owned, the audio alchemy digital decoding engine - early 90s. Made my sony CD player listenable.

Exhale after a long deep toke, perhaps.

Me too, I had the original DDE, their higher end DAC and an audio magic i2s cable. So much better that most cd players at the time and still competitive with lower end USB DACs today. I sold mine many years ago but I also have a burnt out later gen DDE and a working power supply that I need to sell.

I liked the AA phonostage for budget systems and I had an AA transport that worked flawlessly until it was retired. Peter is a great guy and thoughtful lead design guy.

Very first piece of audiophile grade equipment I bought over 25 years ago was their digital decoding engine.
