I believe you are charged when the project is "started". In this case, "started" = in 3 days.

As for the pre-amp module, please include sub out on that as well. One of the use cases of the module is to "modernize" vintage or minimalist set-ups which lack a sub out.

I am seriously thinking of pulling out as just because of the exchange rate change over the past month, the cost of this unit has jumped for us from $545 CAD to $604 CAD.
I don't know if I can stomach and additional 13% price hike in the cost of this unit from when I made the pledge to what I will be paying now. And it looks like the CAD is slipping even further down into the black hole. By the time they bill me, I fear I will be paying closer to $700 CAD for something that I thought was costing me far less.
Can't blame Axiom as it's the way KickStarter works. But then again, they can't blame us Canadian customers if we pull out as the cost now is no where near the cost then.

You asked for it – you’ve got it! We’re adding a subwoofer output to the AxiomAir. Even though the AxiomAir is designed to not need a subwoofer we had numerous requests to have one anyway just in case you wanted really low pounding bass. It’s just one more thing AxiomAir owners have the freedom to choose. And a SNEAK PEEK for our fans: we are also developing a pre-amp version of the Air. It can be used to make your wired system show up as an AxiomAir device in the AxiomAir interface. That means if you have an existing wired system somewhere in your house, you can now add it to the AxiomAir Interface and stream music to it, just like you can to your Air. You can also add it to multi-room groups in the interface so that you have the same music playing on your AxiomAir and in the room that system is in. Perfect for parties! This new product will be available for pre-purchase at www.axiomaudio.com sometime in August and will be ready to ship in November. It’s hard to believe a whole month has gone by, but there are only THREE days left in our Kickstarter Campaign. If you or someone you know has been waiting to get in on the action, wait no longer! Join the AxiomAir revolution and get the freedom to hear great sound everywhere you want to be. Thanks to everyone who has been spreading the word – your support has made this exciting project possible and I really appreciate it. Cheers, Ian

I still can't find the post, but either way, a sub out sounds great! I like the idea of a pre-amp version even more, though. I'm sure someone at Axiom tossed it around over the last few years, but I think I'm the one who mentioned it first here, so I'm taking credit for that one!  Mojo, you get credit for the sub-out! ::High-Fives MoJo!::

Just saw the email from KickStarter.
I was checking for an Axiom Newsletter!

I was talking to Deb, and she had said that the price after kickstarter was not going to be the $795 as it had originally been posted on Kickstarter. That number has since been removed.
I know my ears sometimes plays tricks on me, but I think it was costing closer to the $600 CAD mark.
If that is the case, then you are at best getting a 10% savings on the cost of the unit if you live in Ontario, but if you live in Alberta, after the conversion from US to CAD, you might be just breaking even.
Can someone at Axiom please confirm the after KickStarter price??

According to my email, my Kickstarter Pledge was $475 USD to be charged on 12 Jul if the campaign was successful.
In my haste, I didn't realize that it was in USD when I pulled the trigger...

I might buy one of those pre-amp modules if it has the right I/O. Please let us know what the I/O is when available. Think of it as just another "component" that you plug into your existing system like a Tuner/CD/DVD/BluRay/etc. It has a power button on the front with an indicator led, and around back there is a pair of left/right RCAs, a power jack for connecting a small "wall wart" power supply, two USB jacks for USB drives, and an Ethernet port. Volume control and source switching are handled by your existing pre-amp/receiver/processor/integrated amp. Inside are the same low noise power supplies, high resolution DAC, and Raspberry Pi2B as the AxiomAir portable. Thanks, Andrew
