Buffalo-II Preorders
We will begin taking pre-orders for the Buffalo II tonight at 8pm EST.

Pre-orders, as usual, will be taken through the web site, the same as if you were just buying something. If you order other parts along with your pre-ordered DAC, I will assume you want them all shipped together.

I will also be taking pre-orders for the new IVY-III.

I expect to begin shipping the Buffalos and IVYs the week of March 8th, if all goes as expected with manufacturing.

[EDIT:] I am pushing the ship date to the week of March 15th, but I still might be able to ship the previous week.

Buffalo II Update
We have been testing the Buffalo II over the past week or so, and decided it was time to post a picture.

The new version ("Buffalo II") is the same size as the original Buffalo (2" x 3.3"), and the same size as our other digital modules, which allows for easy stacking. The I/V stages are separate modules.

In this picture you can see the IVY II modules mounted atop and to the sides of the Buffalo II. These are a redesign of the IVY, and has inputs the line up directly with the Buffalo's outputs. When mounted directly beside the Buffalo, the entire unit is very slightly wider than the Buffalo32s was, but the mounting screws are to the inside only.

You may also notice a small board in the center, above the Buffalo... ;) More details to follow....
