products/mkIV/LIO8-4pmkIV.html#differences See below for why these changes were made.Įvery mkIV product page has a section that specifically calls out what is different between the new boxes and the previous generation: The mkIV analog board has new converters (both A/D and D/A, and new analog circuitry. The Preamps, 3d Card (digital core), Front Panel, and power supply are unchanged from the previous generation. The differences between the new mkIV products and the previous generation is all in the analog board design, and we have been shipping the previous generation analog board design for 12 years as a finalized design. The ULN-8/LIO-8 3d are fully supported now, and for the foreseeable future. The ULN-8/LIO-8 3d products are final hardware, just as we said.

The mkIV products are based on the final 3d Card HW we shipped as upgrades and as part of the 3d Unit. I’d like to address a few points that have been raised.Ġ) Differences between the 3d products + mkIV products: Thank you all for the heartfelt feedback. He actually begins his list with the number 0. I figured BJ isn't coming over here to participate directly.Īs a quick aside beforehand, note below how deeply ingrained BJ is with engineering at his core, rather than marketing. If for some reason this isn't cool, Johnkenn, I apologize - happy to take it down or just delete the whole post. Nevertheless, BJ Buchalter himself (the MH head) posted a thorough response to some of these issues on GS, and I'm going to copy/paste it here in case some of you are interested and missed it over there. I've been around these parts for what, 4 years now? Even with that level of experience, I'm not sure how kosher it is to copy a post from The Purple Site.
