I’ve ordered mine.

This is the only practical way I can get Atmos out of my Arc without buying a new TV to replace my LG. No help from either Sonos or LG in this respect.

It’ll be great to finally hear what the Arc is capable of.

Just got to wait till October now (or whenever they start shipping).

That and it checks a couple of more boxes for me. First is offcourse getting Atmos to the ARC, second is to force Dolby Vision to my HDR capable projector and third is ensuring I eliminate any sync issues. Hopefully they will hit their 800 order mark to implement CEC support as well, then all is perfect :-).

    Is there any way of getting the Arcana in the UK? Shipping and import tax could be quite expensive.

    I think you are no further ahead with a reseller as they will pay duty and mark up the price. 
     

    they have options to ship with lower declared value to reduce VAT and dut

      As far as shipping date goes, HD Fury is currently saying Oct. 1.  They are stating though that they are shooting for earlier than that, they simply don’t want to over promise/under deliver.

      It also looks that if you bundle the Arcana with another device for a discount, you’ll get the other device shipped with Arcana.  Considering that shipping is a considerable cost depending on where you are, that might not be a bad thing.

      What kind of import tax/customs duty is typically charged for this sort of thing in the USA? Does the “low value” packaging option make a difference in the USA?

      I had the same question and there was some discussion about this on the Discord support channel. The general consensus seemed to be that for orders under about $1000 then there’s really no import duty/tax charged by US Customs. 

      That having been said, I went with the “low value” option when placing my order just in case. ;-)

        That’s my guess as well.  I have not ordered much directly from out of the country, but have order furniture and some car audio equipment before, and don’t recall any duty or tax added.  FYI,  with HD Fury, I ordered the Arcana/Vertex 2 package, and am paying $24 in shipping.
