These processors were co-developed by East Tech and Cirrus Logic for OEM purposes to sell to Audio Hardware Manufacturers with customized chassis, faceplates and logos to accompany them of course. Eastern Tech in an Asian OEM which manufacturers the design and specifications of these processors.
This quote implies a much larger part played in the design of the 950 by Eastech than I had originally believed. As far as I know, this is the first Outlaw project to involve Eastech to such a level (if at all? Did they help Outlaw with the 1050?)
It raises a question in my mind: how many of the 950's numerous delays and eventual quality control problems were Outlaw's fault and how many were Eastech's? I don't think this point has really been raised in these forums before, but it certainly appears as though Outlaw may have gotten screwed by Eastech on this one.
If so, it's a shame. Also, if so, I hope Outlaw re-evaluates the relationship. But I'll empasize that I don't know if it's so or not.
