Hi all,

some of you own a ZZ9000, so do I.

You can now preorder the sound expansion for this beauty.

Needless to say, I already did :) .

The developer of AmigaAMP is considering direct support.

Let’s see who wil join from this site 😀

For the average Amiga user, can you explain what this might provide?

I ordered one because it sounds amazing. I'm guessing it will open up new audio functionality found in high-end music players like Eagle Player, not seen since the days of rare audio cards made 25 years ago.

But how else might it be used?

I will likely invest in some nice side speakers for it, too.

In short, it is an add-on with the functionality of a clockport-soundcard such as the Delfina or the Prisma and a Line-Mixer. So no need to have Paula-Audio and Soundcard-Audio on different cables.
