Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion What's New At Axiom AxiomAir

Mine's on the FedEx truck for delivery today!

Ha, my wife remarked - 'It's bigger than I thought!'

Actually our wall clock is 25" in diameter & the Sony Picture Frame Viewer on its left is 10" wide. The unit itself is 19.5" wide by 11" high so it is substantial & weighty.

BETA Testing has revealed some issues with connectivity to the net with my unit or my router. I can connect my Galaxy TAB S & Toshiba Lap Top to the AA but it will not switch over to join my network (hence the internet) using my older D-Link DIR-615 with a signal booster. Therefore I'm limited to operating off my Thumb Drive with no net radio being available. Ian & Michelangelo are working on it - that's what BETA Testing is all about.

My 16 GB Thumb Drive holds close to 800 MP3 tracks at 320 Kbps & is about half full. Like you, I have a ton more CDs that I'm just not interested in listening to anymore so they will not get ripped.

We had a dinner party last evening. The AA provided wonderful glitch fee background music over about 6 hours. I ended the evening with a demo of AA playing the haunting Miles Davis track 'Ascenseur Pour l' Echafaud' (Lincoln MKX commercial with Matthew McConaughey):

What a cool piece of music. It sounded absolutely wonderful on the AA...

They arrived. Just set one up and going through some initial testing.

Ian,

Not sure if you saw my previous comment, but I'd be happy to be a tester if you still need more. I ordered mine for my wife on Kickstarter.

Thanks,

Nice to see that your's doesn't have red light flashing...

SRoode, your configuration looks gorgeous.

Thanks Ian. Can't wait to try it.

Steve, is that four USB ports?

Hi Purist,

We will get you added to the Beta list tomorrow. Thanks for helping us out through this phase.

Thanks Derek! Mark, yes, 4 USB ports. One is used by the AxiomAir (probably for wireless, since it flashes activity when streaming). There is also a Ethernet port there if you want to hardwire the AA. I had no problems immediately having our iPhones connect to it using AirPlay. I needed some help from Ian to clarify how to access the AA software using the PC (the draft instructions are a bit sparse). But with Ian's help, I can access the AA software no problem. Cool info - I was streaming Pandora to the AA from my iPhone, and my wife's iPad brought up the AA software and it was able to read the info from Pandora to show the artist, song name, and song duration (with time left to play). Pretty neat. I'm copying all my songs from my PC to a USB stick now to see how the software recognizes it. Soundwise, it is very close to an M3, maybe a touch less bass. But the clarity is even better than my M3s (but mine are several years old, probably a V3 vs V4 difference).
