@zaphod, if you're not sure I have an hc300 controller on 2.5.3 if you need to do the upgrade. (Also have a couple wired speaker points in case you want some legacy items)
Didn't mean to confuse. I thought you meant the TS-PAMP1-200. That one shows backordered in my portal. I'm a Canadian dealer and my portal showed both the black and white Triad One streaming amp's were in stock at the time of the last message.
At the time of this message, the black is now on backorder and the white is available. This will probably change fast as the site is probably not up to date or something.
If you can't wait for the newer controllers, an EA5 would be closer to the HC800 than perhaps the EA3. You could still potentially use the HC800 for its IO but you would lose the Navigator on the HC800 if you want the benefits of OS3 on an EA series controller. I can be of assistance as well.
This is not financial advise but "buy low sell high" tends to work really well. LOL. Ask @zaphod, he's quite savvy in the investment field. If only I had money to invest, I'd take advise from him (other than from my current financial advisor).
Last time I checked, this was a c4 user forum so I'd rely on it for just that.
I've spoken to tech 3 times over the course of a year and so far they haven't come up with anything yet. Give them a shout and see if you can get anywhere.
4sight is easier to purchase through your control4 account but a dealer needs to sell you Composer HE and apply it to your account. If you can't get a hold of your dealer, I can help you with a purchase of Composer HE.
If you're able to get yourself a copy of parallels for the mac, you can either purchase a Composer HE lifetime licence from a dealer (Composer Media Edition is built into it) OR if your Control4 OS is 3.1 or lower, you can download just Composer ME for free. All the OS's higher than 3.1 no longer offer a standalone Composer ME. It's only available with Composer HE.
If you need to purchase, I can help you out with that.
