Yep, you almost get all the points of the upcoming Tone2, the only feature that you missed is Tone2 will also support Coax output if with balanced RCA soldered.
Good day!

No news at allā¦
Is there something cooking ? Or not ?
Thanks
we last got an estimate that the products will be available by Q4 of this year 
Q4 of 2021 ! Are you serious ?
Canāt trust anything but official informations.
Khadas is not that much involved in DIY boards.
So whatās up ? Nothing sadlyā¦
I only consider facts ; they are too few hereā¦
Is the Q4 of 2021 finished ? I donāt think so

So, what are you able to show as previous release, a schematic ?
Did you get some real Official informations or only rumors ?
Yes, Q4 isnāt finished yetā¦ almost nothing new on the horizon.
Maybe another Balanced RCA patented connector ?
Show me Iām wrong
Any update on this? Thanks!

Iām sure the supply chain and chip issues donāt help, but would be nice to get a brief update if possible.
No news nor informations for monthesā¦
It seems DIYerās world isnāt a market considered by Khadas.
Made my choice with another serious brand.
Very pleased using my SU-9n, delivered within 6 days to France.
Stellar measured results on ASR, standard XLR connectors, display, remoteā¦
Bye Khadas, have fun !
Any chance this board will have i2s in?
Any news on the Tone 2 for DIY? Q4 is about over.
Hello @nixem790,ā¦
As you could read up there, DIY Tone2 project seems to be in standby mode or worse, abandoned !
No more informations from Khadas about this project here, on the forum, neither on Khadas Blog nor on Khadas website, for months !
my feeling is that as long as there are Tone1 āVIM Editionsā left to sell, the Tone2 DIY project will remain in the pipelineā¦
Personally as this project is dragging on, I decided to do without a hypothetical TONE2 āVIM Editionā.
I already have a VIM2 v1.4 + TONE1 project which works very well (especially since I changed the VIM2 v1.2 against a VIM2 v1.4). Nevertheless, I wanted to upgrade it by modifying a TONE2 Pro to a VIM Edition one and connect it on a VIM3 v1.2.
Even if the installation of a 40-pins header on the TONE2 Pro did not pose any problems and the GPIO signals seem to be compatible, especially with the couple VIM3-TONE2 Pro (compatible power supplies), my project is also in standby mode because it seems that the driver used for the TONE1 is not compatible with the modified TONE2 Pro and given the skills in this area, Iām stuck !
For the release of the DIY TONE2 (āVIM Editionā) project, letās keep our fingers crossed ā¦
