[Voyage-linux] Re: voyage-mpd and Ayre QB9

[Punky Tse]

Hi all,

I follow this issue these days since it is not only one user having 
problem.  Today, I have contacted Ayre's Hong Kong distributor for Ayre 
technical contact but I am still waiting for their replies.  Right now, 
I have updated voyage mpd page (linux.voyage.hk/mpd) for NOT RECOMMEDING 
Ayre DB9 to use with Voyage MPD until issue is resolved.

Regards,
Punky
