Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

[Taiko Audio]

Yes we have the I/O’s but not the accompanying silver server chassis. Those were promised to be delivered before the Christmas holidays, but weren’t ofcourse . In stead they only started working on them this Monday with a Friday delivery promise.

See the above post from 2 days ago. It’s 7PM here now, I’m still waiting for that delivery, but I think it’s going to be Monday.

It is on the lowish side I find.

I agree it's definitely on low side

Is this for black too or have you gotten the large delivery already?

Yeah both silver and black. We now have 2 anodising companies, but things are still not really moving along there, they have over 60 chassis divided between them. And we just shipped 20 more. Those would cover most of the remaining orders, if they would just finish them…

May I assume that at this point switching to black would not accelerate much? You wrote of the "remaining orders". If there is still a significant time gap between silver and black, could you estimate it?

Hopefully you’ve cracked the nut on anodizing issues. That will be huge if all of these are good for assembly!

We should have! Though the actual proof will be in these deliveries. A sizeable part of these are machined from selected aluminium blocks, exclusively cut from outsides of ingots which should be void of (recycling) impurities. We’ve now been using these blocks exclusively for a while but none of it returned from the anodiser yet

It should not anymore at this point.

I feel your pain Emile as well as the pain of those awaiting their shipment. As they say "no good deed goes unpunished"

Wow, you guys are moving stuff on your end though! You must be up to your ears in metal shavings This seems like very good news to me.

No lack of metal shavings!

We have the PCB’s in house for the upcoming Aries Cerat XDMI link.

A sneak peak:



This does not mean it will ship imminently, there’s quite a bit more work left to do.

looks like many pages being removed from this thread. 6 so far? was up to 243

what pages are being removed? None that I am aware of

BPS app changes
Yesterday, you had to select time zone and charge on both XDMI and system
Today, with the app update you no longer can set charge parameters, time zone, charge times in system, only in XDMI

Why??? Just leave the basics alone....

You could indeed set those for both before, however for the “system” BPS those settings are non functional as it always charges. Therefore those options have been removed for a BPS which is configured to always charge.

Let's back on topic. I have asked the moderation team if they made any changes. If they didn't? Then we will move up the chain.

Until then? Please remain on topic. Please carry on, ladies and gentlemen...

General announcement:

Realising we have outgrown the startup phase of our company we are changing our direction and focus.

Thus far we have been attempting to “do it all”, designing, manufacturing, providing, often lauded as the best customer support, offering our products through both direct as distributor and dealer sales channels.

This past year has made us realise that we are no longer able to perform all these tasks simultaneously at the level we’re aspiring to.

Therefore we are moving to supplying our products exclusively through distribution channels. Distributors will provide first line sales, service and customer support. We will provide second line support. This will allow us to focus on manufacturing and R&D.

Naturally nothing changes for those with unshipped orders, with the exception of receiving future support faster, in your own timezone! The North American distribution arrangement will present themselves here on WBF shortly.

WBF has always been, and will remain our primary news channel and resource. I will personally remain active here, to answer questions, engage in interesting discussions, provide insights, and to keep in touch with this amazing community, many of it’s members I consider to be friends.

Looking forward to the announcement of the North American distributor. Will the generous “trade in your Extreme for purchase price credit on an Olympus” offer continue under the new distribution arrangement? I am hoping to take advantage of that this year.

Thank you from those who are on par, as well as those who may be following behind par...

Keep pushing the envelope!
