Selling 1000 units in 3 month. Great argument !!!!Proving what!?!? 1000 audiophile nuts with big wallets running after the next gadget?
I know John Svensson quite well btw.
He's IMO not the most innovative guy. He's pretty much a quality guy.
He pretty much just takes what's there or already known stuff and
applies a little tweaking.
Basically he built a high quality USB hub and now he built a quality Raspberry Pi or rather a Pi Zero.This all is no rocket science my friend. And for sure not worth 640$ - IMO.
Obviously John has quite convincing communication skills - at least towards his target group "the audiophiles" and "audiophile press". He even managed
to survive the rather tough squeezebox forum.
Don't forget John S as well as e.g Thorsten L. never really built up
their own long lasting businesses as far as I've been able to follow that.
It's one thing to be an excellent engineer and another to run your own business.On the other hand, try to recall what G. Rankin - the Great - has been selling you audiophiles for years.
"Asynchronous USB Audio - The holy grail"Some of you/us had and most of you should have realized by now that "Asynchronous USB Audio" wasn't the holy grail of computer audio.
We had quite some arguments about that for quite a while during those days.
And I do think that that marketing myth even slowed down the evolution
of USB audio for quite some time.All these great engineers, bound to a business, are selling you, what's on the table. Nothing more and nothing less.
Most of them are even aware of the flaws and weaknesses.
Obviously business interests prevent from talking about these.
The (audiophile) industry sells and lives from "Progress" and not "Perfection".Even if some of us ask for perfection, they argue around it and sell you progress.
Which is fair enough!!! Many people are happy with that. It's a free market out there.
Enjoy.
PS: I'm not defending Archimago btw. I do have my problems with his methods and conclusions myself.
