Tried the card on my P233, and bad news, the ESS just isn't getting detected at all.

Just to say I've fired off an email to the team, and I'm currently working with Keropi on getting my card back up and going, fingers crossed 🤞

1) Same filter as stock ESS cards.
2)This is solved here
3) No SPDIF I/O unfortunately. We decided to keep this out due to cost. But there will be an I2S interface on expansion 😀

Hi, I'm your customer who wants to purchase your great item and I have a question.
What does 'expansion' mean? Is it requires PCMIDI Addon?

there is no i2s interface, this was an idea that did not work out in the end

Oh, then would it be a good idea if I use usb c to s/pdif cable with other some kind of s/pdif devices why I came up with that is I saw usb-c pinouts in your item.

Received my order today. Absolutely fabulous. 👌

My USA tariff on the order was about $22, for reference. I don't know if this will be different for others, since I ordered three cards.

Also, I'm guessing it was Serdashop that threw in some free coasters and stickers? 😂

Great news! Are orders being sent to Serda Shop since he can ship to US? It would be great to have an update on the shipping issue. Thanks!

keropi cards ship from serdashop via UPS since I have no option to ship from here
marmes cards ship directly from Portugal via UPS since the option became available since a week or so and has been tested
in both cases there is a shipping surcharge (since the services are just more expensive) and there is some import fee when the package reaches the US, these are out of control
just wait for email with instructions 😀

Paid my UPS shipping surcharge, and look forward to my MK1869 Extreme order shipping!

Well still no card, no UPS shipping notification nor tracking number, and no replies to emails, so not sure what is going on?

It was deposited at UPS point yesterday, I will send you the tracking here by PM
anyone else having shipping questions just pm me or join the discord server 😀

Thanks-I was starting to get worried.

Hey guys, I entered the queue to purchase a MK1869 card with PCMIDI adapter, just curious if you have an estimated ETA for when new stock will be available for shipping.

The factory shipped our package and it is expected to arrive early next week but at this point I estimate shipping will start next year 🤣
Are you interested in the red or black card?

The standard MK1869 plus PCMIDI addon, the black card, not the Xtreme.

There is one available, please contact by private message or fill the form in pcmidi.eu.

Just wanted to say I received my MK1869 EXTREME safe and sound.
It is a very nice card.
