Mmmm Ayre...Could be very interesting.
Main rig: APL 3910 32bit -> DIY Blue Hawaii, ES-X
Computer rig: Trends UD-10.1 -> AudioZone DAC -> Supercharged Egmont
Headphones: SR-007
Interesting that Wavelength licensed out the USB asynch technology to Ayre, who is their competitor. Perhaps they figured their markets are different being tube vs. SS?
Hansen's been hinting at this for a long time (for the past several months) over at AA. Looks cool, and with Ayre behind this, I have high expectations particularly on the technical side. Going to try and secure a local auditioning session when it comes out.![]()
5:41 PM [Icarium] but in a double double
5:41 PM [Icarium] the cheese is actually flavorfully inert
5:42 PM [Icarium] and if you get it without the cheese
5:42 PM [Icarium] you taste the onion and beef so much more
5:42 PM [Icarium] its like they mesh together making flavor babies
5:42 PM [Icarium] and the double double cheese
5:42 PM [Icarium] is the flavor condom
5:42 PM [Icarium] cockblocking that action
The guy from wavelength appears to be really helpful to all (not that I will buy his stuff). He seems to be honestly interested in helping anyone get the best out of their computer audio.
Also it's possible that he has a patent on the tech and it was cheaper for him to let Ayre license vs going into patent litigation. Just a guess at best.
I think that was a perfect usage of the term license as it refers to patents. And how that generally works.

he seems to suggest that not suing is cheaper than licensing. well yes, since the point of licensing is that the company that holds the patent makes money. there is nothing that suggests that it was the threat of litigation that caused Ayre to license the tech.
Now taking donations for the purchase of an Audio Aero La Source.
No, he's suggesting that licensing is cheaper than going through the litigation process.

thanks for the tautology.
Now taking donations for the purchase of an Audio Aero La Source.
licensing being cheaper than litigation isn't the question.

Cheaper for Ayre, not Wavelength. Clearly, advantageous for Wavelength.
(or that's how I read it)
Will you swap your hi-fi for a clear blue sky?
As I read it, it was saying "rather than fight to keep them from using the technology with no recourse, wavelength chose to license the technology to them. This enabled them to protect their intellectual property while saving both the cost of litigation"
