Info on the mini-projector would be great. I could maybe use that on the deck or in the living room.

Ian On the technical video at the 1:36 mark the section with Vlad Muller, he talks about the customizable grill that I do see as an option at the bottom of kickstarter. But then he goes on to talk about anodized aluminium.
I gathered from the kickstarter the unit comes in black or white. Can we get a unit in Anodized Aluminium too? That would be totally awesome with a custom real wood top.
I know that your site doesn't say real wood.. If it isn't, can we talk about getting a template for the top section so I can cut my own. I have a really nice piece of cocobolo sitting in my woodshop that would make a wicked top for my unit. Get me the shape I need and I will cut it out and ship it up for you to put onto mine. You should check your email. They are offering free real-wood upgrades to the unit for existing customers.
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.

Hi Andrew. Will the 150W supply for audio be shared with the charging system for the battery? I'm hoping you have a separate charger board with its own switching transformer or at least a well-filtered winding off the main switching transformer.

OK, this likely flies in the face of the very point of having the AxiomAir, but.....
Is there an output from the DAC stage? In other words, can I sit it next to a receiver that otherwise doesn't have networking capability to allow the wireless reception of sources, but feed said sources into my big system?
The initial thought that I had was in my workshop, but this is too nice to be exposed to the sawdust that I raise twice a year(!). I wondered it it could be used as a source-only to the receiver and old DJ speakers I keep down there, allowing the A^A to sit in a dust-free box.
Yes, I'm already starting to abbreviate it's name.
Still trying to justify this to the CFO.
Edit: Along the dame lines, is there a headphone jack?

The way I see it, if you want to use headphones, just use your phone. Now a sub out jack...that's a different story. I'm going to be listening to 150 clean watts through drivers that have a family of curves so depriving me of subbage is a mortal sin!
Sorry Mark. Are you still glad I'm back :-)?
I should also explain that I don't listen to a quarter watt anymore. I need power, baby! :-)

I'm hoping you have a separate charger board with its own switching transformer or at least a well-filtered winding off the main switching transformer. What I was told when I phoned Axiom about batteries, the unit charges the batteries on the same circuit, but not at the expense of the power requirements for the amp. So, if you have the unit full on, then the batteries will be getting a dribble charge.

Hmmm...I see. Thanks. I can live with that. If I detect any sonic differences while the batteries are charging, I'll pop them out for the listening session. It's a bit of a hassle but the alternative is worse :-).

How about a PureDirect mode that disables the charger?

Or, why don't you plug the unit into the wall and let the batteries fully charge before listening it it?? Or seeing as the batteries for the unit are optional, don't buy the batteries and run it off the mains power all the time. Then you won't have to worry about any potential loss from power getting diverted from the power supply to play your music.

I need the batteries for nice days when I go to parks. Then when I get back home, I might want to listen to it while the batteries are charging.
