Discontinued products! - Support?
« on: 15 Sep 2022, 03:49 pm »
Discontinued !!!
It is natural that a developer discontinues products.
Too bad only for the end user, who was looking forward to a nice phase with his product.
It seems to me that many new developments in my favorite brand make the continuation of older and not so old products superfluous.
To get to the point, this post is particularly about the streaming sector.
WR-100D and WR-100 - Discontinued
Omnia WR-1 - Discontinued after 2 years (Will there still be updates?)
Expecting a streamer to go with my 10 series, these two streamers have been faithfully with me.

I am unsettled.

It is very common for "gadgets" to be discontinued to make room for new models. On the other hand, some products such as IDA-8 are so good in their price range that it stays on the market for many years.

WR-1 doesn't provide AirPlay 2 support, and the streaming module can not support Amazon HD. The device and app will continue to be supported.
WR-2 (MSRP $549( is coming out by the end of October.

For your 10 series, you might want to consider Stream-9. Stream Mini will work fine, even though it is not as good as Stream-9. Certainly, WR-2 is a good match too.

Thank you for the information.
I am watching the product range of NuPrime.
The Stream-9 is probably unbeaten on its ranking.
I will wait for the information about the WR-2.
