Last year when the R2 was announced we were told that there would be some sort of path to upgrade parts for the R1 to get some or all of the new R2 features in our R1 units. Any updates here?
I’m personally keen on anything related to less IBTS dirtying and easier cleaning of this sensor.
If I can get a USBC port to connect to my mac that would also be lovely since it’s never fewer than three tries to get the correct micro-usb orientation and I often need to pull out a flashlight etc.
Well, when I insert my cable, it just snaps in place, and you can hear the click, and it is clearly marked so you can’t miss the orientation. I can put it in without looking. Of course, it is not the Aillio original, but it is from a reputable cables manufacturer, of which there are many, so you can choose your own. Just don’t buy cheap cables. Buy from the companies you’d buy your high-end stereo equipment from. Of course, don’t buy the silly expensive ones either.
The update path will be announced after certification is complete and we have fulfilled all our current R2 back orders.
Agree, the micro USB is not the most elegant of connectors.
Thank you Jacob for the reply!
Out of curiosity what kind of upgrades will be available for R1 users?
I am looking forward to this upgrade.
I have done all the available R1 upgrades, but still feel way behind other machines. That said, these R1s have been workhorses. Truly impressive for a version 1 machine.
I love that Aillio never forgets its original customers and offers us an upgrade path.
