X18, has the true DL killer finally arrived?

Someone on SoundForums.net posted a map of $799 for the X18. If that's in fact the price that Mackie will have to respond to once their sales are impacted. My prediction is quite simple and I've stated this before the Dl1608 should be $699 and the DL806 should be at $499. The follow on in the present price range should be the DL1608/806 Pro with the following very real possibilities with the current hardware. 24/96-192 processing with 16/8+ channel recording but only using the new Thunderbolt connection (upgradeable). That by the way would be playing catchup with an 11yr. old product known to some of you as the Yamaha O1V96. That's a real technology improvement :) at a new price point. Of course the software would still have to catch up with the rest of their competition as best they can. They can also choose to go the way they've done with the last 3 digital mixers and call it a day. ;D
I'm selling mine before the price drop so I won't get hit to bad.

Says "Buy Now" on the page. Wonder if it's really ready to ship though the link doesn't really take you anywhere yet...

I think by now we know that any of the announced product won't see shipment until his new factory in China is up and running and that at best is August 2014. That means most of this stuff won't be here until shortly before Christmas 2014.

Let's stop using the term DL killer. I plan to use mine until I stop doing this stuff. (I'm 60 and 15 years looks about as far out as I would consider likely.) The X18 looks interesting, but I'm not buying one. I still don't trust anything with that brand on it. Maybe someday, but not now or anytime soon. (And my DL1608 has been working just fine.) I also can't afford to be cavalier about upgrades. Someday this stuff will be easily affordable. It was a pretty large expenditure for me. (With retirement looming and two cars that are more than 15 years old and have more than 400,000 miles between them. At least the house is paid off now.)

Yet you trust Mackie???
I'm guessing thousands of X32 owners might disagree with you....
