[QUOTE="Eric Hill - USA, post: 60168, member: 2100"] re: X32 Discussion I don't think it's mature. New plant, bought Midas and KT relatively recently… It'll be at least a couple more years before there's any strong level of maturity. As an aside, I'm a little leery of the firmware changes coming out so quickly. A "simple" change in one area can often have an unintended consequence elsewhere. For example, a UI has a certain flow to it. If a simple change is made (like being able to loop through tabs), it might break the UI flow in another area where it’s not so simple to change. Thus, the UI becomes a hodgepodge mess, where you begin to think, “What in the world were they thinking?” (Like a house that has been remodeled, and it’s very evident. The flow is broken. A great home addition is one where you can’t tell what was original, and what was added or changed. The house maintains its flow, as the original designer intended.) Also, if there are automated test processes in place, those are designed tests. The test designers make certain assumptions based upon how a product was designed to be used. That often differs from how a product is actually used. With the (relatively) complex routing options in the X32, it's very likely the X32 will be utilized in ways engineers did not think of. For example, I'm attempting to do "aux-fed subs" (which is not uncommon) without outboard gear, and there are a couple of hiccups with that. I understand what you mean. But, even had the problem/solution turned out to be much more complex... The ability to take a public forum comment, and turn that into action, in that time frame, shows there are people and processes in place that are atypical for many companies. Thanks for your insight. Very interesting and good post. [/QUOTE]
